Marriage Is Happicst, 1t Is Claim eds
If the wife he Senior.

Everyone has his own idea as to what
will constitute happy marriage, but
there is one point on which nearly all
agree-the wife must not be older than
the husband, is the conclusion of
writer.
People who look complacently on the
spectacle of a girl of 16 or IS marrying
a man twice her age are ready to de-
clare it a PROCLAMATION of the marriage
altar if the bride is q few years older
than the bridegroom. 1t would be a curl
Gus study in sociology to trace this
prejudice to its source. A prejudice it
undoubtedly q, for some of the happiest
marriages known to theworld have been
those in which the wife was the older OF
the two.
Everyone who knows his Boswell
knows the extraordinary devotion OF
johnson to the fat, ugly widow, whose
manners were execrable and who was
nearly twice his age, so the spiteful biog-
raphers say. He knows, too, how happy
"Fetty" made Pohnson, and what a grief
her death was to the great man.
The marriage of Margaret Fuller and
Count d'Ossoli was a brilliant success
in point of happiness, though sadly
brief Margaret was seven years older
than her husband, and refused him sew
eral times on this ground, but his devo-
tion and persistency overcame her re-
luctance, and the result of the marriage
fulfilled her dream of such happiness.
1t is said that all who saw them to-
gether were struck by the loverlike
fondness and exquisite Difference of
DOssoli's manner toward the plain
New England woman seven years his
senior, whose only attraction, appar-
emily, was her great intellect. Mrs.
Story says of him: mo service was too
trivial, no sacrifice too great. When she
was ill he nursed her and watched over
her with the tenderness of woman.
Such tender, unselfish love | have rare
ly seen. 1t made green her days and
gave her an expression of peace and
serenity which before was a stranger to
her"

skirt after being looped oddly across
the foot of the vest and fastened with
silver buckle on the left hip, the
buckle at the same time draping the
skirt a bit, although displaying an
even edge at the hem.
Another checked velvet in dark blue
and dark green and white was oddly
trimmed with double lappets of two
shades of lilac face cloth with brass
buttons, tucked vest and chemisette of
white satin, and a slender girdle Of
dark green velvet ribbon buckled with
