AGE FOR MEN TO MARRY.
Not Until They Have Passed 20
Should They Take . Wife.

No young nan under % years OF
age is in any sense competent to
take unto himself q wife. Before
that age he is simply boy who has
absolutely nothing which he can Of
fer to girl as safe foundation for
life happiness. He is uniformed in
his character, unsettled in his ideas,
absolutely ignorant Of the first es-
sentials OF what consideration
or love for o woman means. he
doesn't know himself, let alone
knowing woman. He is full OF
fancies, and it is his boyish nature
to fit from one fancy to another. He
is incapable of the affection upon
which love is based, because he has
not lived long enough to know 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 becomes
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 he esteems as the
only girl in the world to make him
happy. The man of 30 rarely weds
the girl whom he fancied when he
was 20.-Ladies' Home Journal.
