"nEsT AGE" FOR MARRYING.
Modern Fashion TO Postpone it Al
mCst reaches Danger Point.

IS there a best age for for mar
rving? The heronos of Jane Austen
reckoned spinsterhood their certain
doom If they reached the years of,
two or three-and-twenty without
prospect OF matrimony, ant the ma
lures brides of II and Is were sup
posed to travel the road that good
and obdeient daughter should go. If
she did not care to be numbered as
the eccentric member of the family.
Spinsterhood in the good old days
was indeed somethins to he avoided,
and the parents OF daughters early
married were enviably regarded and
sincerely congratulated on their good
fortune.
According to our present view,
mighty is the change .egarding this
momentous subject. Common sense
has pee. happily vouchsafed to the
modern pater, and to their girls they
are giving time to uCvelop mentally
and physically before these take up
on themselves the onerous duty Of
managing husbands and the hazard
Gus one of bringing children into the
world.
School days with accompanying
pleasures OF life are no longer short
ened and the pretty noodles are all
the better preserved from the dan
gers OF the eternal question.
To postpone the marriageable age
of women is a tendency SO clearly
evidenced that perhaps there Is dan
ger of going to the other extreme; ;
bride of 40 as rather q rash and gid
dy person to be in such haste TO
change her condition Ct life.
No sooner will this fact be estab-
lished than we shall as is customary
in al edicts of fashion, again turn
wildly backward to to youthful bride.
But how unsettled and crying will
be the intermediate stage! For the
woman who consiLers marriage the
ain and end of her existence perhaps
II may be we'll to heed the advice OF
a present day novelist who suggests
mat wise is the woman who mar
res between the ages of % and 80.

ideas set up in her salad days.
She may escape the horrors Of dis
illusionment ard she Will have reach

SENATOR J. 3. FORAKER


He began the practice of the law
in 1869. For ten years he fought
for position at the bar and AT the
same time battled his way into poll
tics. He was absolutely without
other influence than that which 10
gained for himself by exercise of the
genius of industry and the spur OF
ambition.
After the warfare of ten years Far-
aker considered his position secu e
fee. He was chosen Judge of t"e
Superior Court In 1879, but his
struggle for success had impaired his
health and three years later he was
compelled to resign.
For six years Senator Foraker
neither held nor sought office, and
then he again blazed out lik. new
star in the political armament, this
time at the national capital and In
the greatest deliberatiye body IN
the world" Against fierce factional
opposition, he was, in January, 1896,
elected to succeed Calvin s. Brice,
who for six years had filled one Of
the chairs of the Democratic side Of
the Senate Chamber, and took his
seat March 4, 1897.
In the Senate Foraker at once
forged 10 the front. He was not
abashed in that august presence. He
took its measure and decided that he
need be Mother a freshman, Il So
phomore, nor a junior. hut that he
was fairly equipped to take his place
at once with the mighty seniors; and
it was laurels upon his brow that no
attempt was made to give him that
| superciious reception that has
| hum!liated and crushed so many new
Senators when they yearn to signal
i2e their early days by ambitious eE-
| forts to set the Thames afire.
1t was soon said of him that ne
