WHEN TO MARRY,
Twenty-Five Is Considered the Most
Proper Age for Girls.


At what age should a girl marry has
been the theme of innumerable discus
sions, says the ST. Louis Post Dispatch.
Many contend that she should never think
of taking the all-important step until she
has reached the more or less mature age
of twenty-five, while others insist that the
earlier she is settled the better.
When 1t Is averaged 1t will be found
that a girl is happiest when she is mar
ried at the right time, and the right time
is when she has found the right man.
OF course the custom Of hurrying lttlo
girls into matrimony when they have
reached the age of sixteen or seventeen
is out OF the question. Still, there are
many girls at twenty more fit to be mar
ried than some at twenty-five.
The rule does not always work well in
one direction. and the modern, well-cdu-
Gated, self-reliant maid does well to mar
ry when she finds the right man. A good
husband will help even a very young girl
to make q success of marriage, but a girl
of the old-fashioned type runs a. great
risk Of making a mistake. both In her
choice of a husband and in the matter
of marrying at all, If she marries before
twenty-five.

Three years ago Mrs. Leila Seton Wild

day, says Leslie's Weekly, the planters
of her state are studying her methods.
She visited New York in September and
secured an order for all the cotton her
plantation produced during the colnilig
year. She owns over 5000 acres along
the Tennessee river. OF this, 700 acres
