Common-Sense Marriages.

Modern society has welcomed com-mon-sense shoes and common-sense forms of dress, writes John Lambert Payne in an attempt to solve the question “Why Young Men Defer Marriage,” in the Ladies’ Home Journal. It would seem that the time is opportune for a widespread outbreak of common-sense marriages. At all events, if a change from the present stagnation is to be effected, three things seem to me necessary: First, there must be a popular knowledge of the facts; second, the people at large must think; and third, there must be action.
