BEST AGE FOR MEN ID MARRY
Not Until They Have Passed Twenty
 Five Should They Take a Wife.

Edward Box, writing in the May Ladies Home Journal. on "A Boy for a Husband" contends that mo young man under twenty five years of age is in any sense competent to take unto himself a wife. Before that age be is simply boy who has absolutely nothing which he can offer to a girl as safe foundation for life happiness. He is uniformed in his character, unsettled in his ideas, absolutely ignorant of the first essen tials of what considera- tion or love for woman means. He doesn't know himself, let alone knowing a woman. He is full of faneies, and it is his boylsh nature to fit from one fancy to anothsr. He is incapable of the affection upon wEich love is based, because he has not lived long enough to kEow what the feeling or even the word means. He is full of theories, each one of which, when he comes to put it into practice, will fail. He is boy, pure and simple, passing through that trying period through which every boy must pass before he be- comes man. But that period IS not the marrying time. For as his opinions of life are to change, so are his fancies of the girl be es- teens as the only girl in the world to make him happy.
