possible. Neither are registered at
any hotels here and last night the

them and Mr., Patrick, was according
to the latter cordial and his con

look at every incident that occurs.
They do not expect to find anything

asked last night by the correspondent

THE AMERICAN GIRLS


A Little Waiting Brings Her Greater
Chances of Choosing a Hus-
band Wisely.
"When the American girl defers her
choice of a husband until she has had a
reasonable opportunity to see something
of mankind. and had a chance to COM
pare the good with the bad, she is pretty
apt to strike a good average for her
SELF" writes Edward Box in the May
Ladies' Home Journal. LAS a rule
she is a pretty good judge of men, when
she gives her judgment time TO assist
her to a wise conclusion. The point is
to get her to wait. It must be said to
her credit that she is waiting longer
than she did formerly. It is not so
many years ago that a gill was con-
sidered Of a magriageable age when she
became sixteen OF seventeen years old.
If she married then, or shortly after
ward, it was not such an unusual thing.
Twenty-Five years ago girls generally
married at Nineteen, while to day the
average is closer TO twenty three. The
marriage of a girl in her teens causes
actual surprise il, these days. Out of a
list of one thousand marriages recently
compiled, just one-half the brides were
between twenty-five and FIVE;
two hundred were bftween twenty five
and thirty. Still. there were three hum
dred under twenty years of age. And
nearly all these young girls married IN
der twenty-tw0-mele boys, IN other
words. And this is the fatal part OF q
girls marriage at too early an age. In
stead of choosing a man for her husband
she is very apt to choose a boy"
