POINTS FROM LETTERS

THE YOUNGER GENERATION AND MARRIAGE.

Mr. Godfrey Winn, who writes in your columns about marriage as a representative of the younger generation, bases his view of the Victorian age on its literature. " If one can judge from contemporary literature," he says. But his obvious ignorance of the works of the poet who is generally accepted as peculiarly representative of his epoch does not inspire one with much confidence in his knowledge of Victorian literature as a whole. And if he knows so little of

the literature, which is so easy to know, is he likely to know much of the life, which is so hard to know ?—G. F. BRIDGE. Steeple, Gerrard's Cross.
