LOVE AND MARRIAGE.

Love and marriage have naturally n
deep and abiding influence over the
thoughts of woman. WheD the last
century was young early marriages
were very common. and a young girl
was frequently a wife and mother sew
eral years before reaching the age of
twenty. Now it is an unusual occur
renee for a girl to assume such re-
sponsibilities until well on in her TWEEN
ties or perhaps thirties. and wise
change it is. for upon considering girls
of fifteen and sixteen at the present
day it would be an open question as to
whether they would be willing to fore
go all the joy and happiness which come
at no other period of life and settle
down into the house mother. Let
the girls play golf and tennis; let them
row and skate; let them read and
study and fit themselves for the great
er work which comes in later years
let their Judgment mature. and there
will be fewer mistakes made in choos-
ing a life partner and less cause for
divorce.-Utica Observer.

combined to adorn one small fragile

On this was an embroidery of pearls
and strass, with curious knobs at eth

sides of the Grecian chignon that
should be worn with it. A white os-

anemone on one side of the gold band
and fringe of pearls fell on the hair
