the next meeting to right the trouble.

of "a Nutmeg Match" In this play,
which will be presented again this af-
ternoon and evening, Miss Rober has
one of those juvenile roles in which she
is so charming. The drama is full of
bright bits of acting and sensational
incidents. The pile driver scene in the
second act, with real steam, made a
hit with the crowd. Flowers were sent
up to Miss Rober and Miss Grace G.
Hamilton, who was excellent in the
role of Jess Taylor.

VIC MarrNin" Age.

At what age do people marry? The
most popular time for woman to get
married is from her twenty first to her
twenty fifth year inclusive. More than
oue-half of the women who marry at
all marry in these five years of their
life, and another quarter marry between
the ages of 20 and %, and not more
than n third between the ages of % and
80. The average age of marrying is just
over % for women and just under %
for men. These figures include remar-
riages. For spinsters only the average
age is %, and for bachelors 20 y.
1t is noticeable fact that in the last
ten years the average age of marrying
has, for men and women alike, gone up
half year. Taking the complete quar-
tiers ending on the last days of March,
June, September and December respec-
lively, the December quarter is most
prolific i'll marriages, and the spring
and summer quarters come next, about
equal, with the March quarter long
way behind. New York Home Journal.

SELFiSHNESS.
We Nearly Always Discover 1t IL
others, but Never In Ourselves.

We Nearly Always Discover It Ia
others, but Never In Ourselves.
Probably the most iusidious of all the
faults is that upon the absence of which
we most pride ourselves, and that at the
same time we notice most readily in
others. In some of us it is pride, in
others gossiping. The list is long, and
we know it without going into details,
but that which we do not seem TO real
ize is that the very most common fault
of US as DIS a mass is selfishness.
We do know that nearly every one
we meet is selfish, but we seldom dis
cover how selfish we are ourselves I'M
less shown by "a sudden touch of deep
regret. Most of us discover, for in
stance, that we were selfish in refer
once to some dear friend dead, but we
stop right there, and while we regret
the past and shed useless tears over the
lost chance we do not make any new
overwhelmingly, that we are selfish
90 our living friends-and while we
think that they are being unfair, un-
kind, to us we forget to be generous
ourselves, to look beyond the frOwn,
the hard word, the selfish act or neglect,
and see what it is that causes all this.
to see what strain our friend is bearing
and share it i'll SO far as patience, gener-
GUS forbearance, will Tighten it.
Think how selfish most of Us have
been in time gone by, how quick words
have gone out to hurt hearts already
hurt, when from US at least that partlc-
ular cross friend had a right to hope
for better things.
Do not make a very close eXamina-
ton of things in general and see whether
you are not yourself more selfish than
are your friends, and remember that
the greatest generosity IN this world IS
to have patience with others in their
"selfishness," for in half the cases at
least it is pain or worry, not real in
tended unkindness at all.-Philadelphi
