little tale which tells her exactly what
her chances are III decoving the heart Of
the summer man-b he old or Young.
The best age for i woman to marry. or
the age at which her chance ore the best.
Is between twenty ana TWENTY-FIVE. Then
she is at her most attractive period, Her
form is wen developed though slim. and
her skin Mas all the goftness and smooth
ness of youth. Her teeth are white and
firm. her throat well rounded her cheeks
and ear lobes a delicate pink and her ewes
as clear lis sparkling water. If woman
has anv chance in lie to be handsome 1t
A. between the aees ~ twenty ana and
twenty-fiye wears. The records show that
lhirty-six per cent. DE- all women marry
between twenty and twenty-five. Men,
young ana old. are charmed with them at
this time and the girl who does not get
married before she is twenty-five must
consider that her chances are lessened.
But She need not give up-not by any
means. Between twenty-five and thirty
the girl who marries does better than
the one who married five years earlier.
h has a more mSltured Judgment and
she selects a man for his mental DUAL
tiles q for his financial ability to sup
port her; and not for his handsome face.
A womal between twenty-five and thirty
seldom makes q mistake, IL she marries
a man at this time she generally marries
mort her Is e ! no rr;a % ~ which GU
bid. The cod IL Love. ana Minerva the
Goddess Of wisdom. are both present.
Her chances Of getting 4 husband at
this age are fine ana the records show
that 4wenty-two Der cent Of women mar
nv at about this age. This is about one il
four, or about a quarter OF all the wo-
men ON the face Of the earth.
Between thirty and thirty-fve a wo-
man has fewer chances. The men have
thinned out a little. She has lost her
chance BE marrying he boy. Her age
keeps her necessarily in the thirties as
far as men are concerned, and. therefore,
the long string Of college boys who were
have dropped out. and therefore only the
good, solid, substantial men travelling
toward forty can reach her hand. About
one woman in eight. or about twelve per
cent, of all women marry between thirty
and thirty-fve, which IS very good indeed,
considering how few women can laugh at
thirty-fve. A woman forgets how to
laugh after she is thirty years old, The
fun-the attractive giggle-is all gone.
She sees the cloud, and not its funny
shiny lining.
Between thirty-five and forty comes EN-
bonpoint-and the suitors gazing upon
the stern front are scared away. Yet, if
the truth were known, a woman IS at her
best between thirty-fve and forty. Close
your eyes to the full bust, che rolling
| hips ana the double chin and you find her
a most delightful companion. A woman
| who selects a husband at this age seldom
makes Il mistake. for she has learned the
art Of pleasing and she is willing to spend
| her life time in exercising it.
six per cent. of ali women marry be-
tween thirty-ive and forty and the girl
who has been too occupied to marry be-
| fore this. too busy spinning her own life
warn ID take IN the thread Of another,
| stands In excellent chance at forty.
Between forty and fifty one woman In
twentu tnarries. or five per cen Ii IS
