Edward Box, writing in the May Ladies' Home Journal, on "A Boy for 8 Husband" contends that ''no young man under 25 years of age is in any sense competent to take unto himself a wife
 Before that age he Is simply 8 boy who has absolutely nothing which he can of fsr to girl as safe foundation for life happiness. Be is uniformed in his char acter, unsettled in his ideas, absolutely ignorant of the first essentials of what consideration or love for woman means. He doesn't know himself, let alone know. ing woman. He is full of fancies. and 1t Is his boYish nature to fit from one fancy to another. He is incapable of the affection upon which love is based, be- cause 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 1t into practice, will fail. He is a boy, pure and simple, passing through that trying De- riod through which every boy must pase before he becomes 8 man. But tha' period is not the marrying time. For as his opinions of life are to change, 30 are his fancies of the girl he esteems as the only girl in the world to make him han. py. The man of 30 rarely weds the girl whom he fancied wh en he was 2O."
