To Do Away with “Old Maids.”
Gen. Booth, the commander-in-chief of the English Salvation army, is an earnest social reformer. One of the practical methods of a redistribution of social forces, in his opinion, is a grand matrimonial agency, conducted by fit persons, through whose intervention thousands of homeless men all over the world might become known to the thousands of spinsters who would make the best of wives, but who are wasting their higher possibilities for want of a chance to utilize them. Gen. Booth expects to be laughed at, but is sure that his beneficent plan is feasible and certain of accomplishment.—Harper’s Bazaar.
