Girls Don't Become Old Maids in Tkeiy

CHANGING down a carefully compiled
list of fashionable weddings celebrated
during the last eighteen months, il was
found that the average bridal age worked
out a trit1c over -, which is also said 10
be the age OF our newest Anglo 4 ulerican

Ideas on the subject narriagpahl.

and no one viii deny that the change Is
for the better.
1t would be considered outrageous now
Tor girls TO marry at the age when MANY
OF their grandmothers took up the cares
and responsibilities which that step al
most Invariably entails. Girls of Ia and
10 were then looked upon as women
grown,
Thcir Srand-daughtcrs Of today at the.
Sal0e age are little else than children
scarcely half way through school life.
With the next generation the marriage
able age moved Il step or two i'm the
right direction: but even then girls were
clasSed as old maids nj much earlier
age than anyone would dream of censid-
eripg them today.
In contemporary fiction. the blooming
sweet seventeen tor thereabouts) was
the favorite heroine. bat today the in
Senue. or boarding school miss, is rele-
gated comparatively to the background
Something more than fresh complex-
ION and bright eyes (chaTminS and highly
desirable as these undoubtedly arel is re

actually interesting and cultured, at least
chatty and ConYcrSant with caalrent top

the little courteseS which any well bred
man will naturally extend 10 a pleasant
girl into whose society circumstances
may have thrown hinl. Indeed, anywhere
between 20 and 80, a girl is mole likely
TO be sought after than before she is 20
years old.
One frequently hears thoughtful girls
remark that they prefer men older than
themselves Ia boys of their own age
This is probably because of the we'll
known fact that girls develop earlier
than boys. On the other hand, the old
castiron rule icited by Shakespeare in
the familiar quotation: Let still the
woman take AN older than herself'1 does
not obtain to anything like the same ex-

An 11-year-old boy attending school al
Walthamstow, England, who was set 80
write an essay ON the farmer" evolved
the following logical and convincing com
position:
"A farmer has hard work TO do.
IF he has his farm too near the town
he finds some boys in his orchard steal
ing his apples and pears. All he can do
is to put his dog in the orchard after the
boys have climbed the trees.
This is but n poor way OF stopping
them, as the dog can only catch one boy.
Moreover, if ii is a bulldog the farmer
is likely Ia lose it, for it sticks TO the
trousers of the boy it catches, while the
boy walks away with the dog clinging to
his leg.
again if the bull comes into the or.
chard,. the dog and buA will fight to-
gether, while the boys escape"
