THE WAY or THE WORLD.
Disparity at Age Brtween Husband
aud Wife . Misfortune.


There are over $40 600 more widows
than widowers in England. In France
for every 100 widowers there are 1914
widows. These facts lead the West
minister Retiese 10 treat the growing
disposition OF men 10 marry late i'm life
as very serious evil OF modern So
cicty. Such men usually marry
younger women, who. in the natural
order of things, may be expected 10
survive them. Even where widowers
enter again into matrimony they do
not often take for wives women of q
corresponding. or an approximately
corresponding age, but young maid
ems, who are likely 10 be left widows.
The greater longevity of women has
even induced some philosopher 10 adj
wise that, on the contrary. the wife
should be older than the husband,
and there have been some
notable marriages where that
was the case. The baroness
Burdct,e-Coutts and Madame de Stael
tor instance, were much oidcx chan
the men then married. Ba<thc law
OF nature commonly stands In oppo-
sition To such unions. though IL cam
not be denied that the woman with
whom a lad first falls In love is very
apt To be much his senior. He would
marry her ii she would have him for
husband but she looks on him as mere
boy, and usually refuses 10 take his
love seriously. The natural tendency
of woman To marry older men seems
10 be a strong as il il for men TO
marry younger women. else the anu
orous lads would receive an amount
Of encouragement which might put
the average superiority in age on tho
side of the brides. Nature, there
fore. arranges all that In a way
from which il cannot be diverted
by any review article. We agree how
ever, that IL is best Tor the nan and
for the race that he should marry
early If he is to marry at ALL Any
great disparity of age between hus-
band and wife Is great misfortune.
IL Is better for them 10 grow old to-
gether. so that in the usual course OF
nature the man and woman will
reach the end without any great diff
ference in time between them.
