WHEN SHOULD GIRLS MARRvf

that no girl should marry before she

ana never can be any fixed rule for
the mating Of human beings. Ages
ago parents were the sole arbiters OF
the marital destinies Of their daugh-
tiers. They gave in wedlock when and
where and to whom they pleased, and
the daughters had nothing to do with
the bargain. The matter is one In
which there Is pretty nearly indepen-
dence of thought and action on the
part of American girls. Parents may
try as they will to shape their daugh.
ters' love affairs to conform to their
own ideas. but 1t is rare case in which
they succeed-and even then success
on the part of the parents is not q
guarantee of the girls happiness. II
has been estimated that a woman's
chances of marriage begin to diminish
at the twenty-fourth year and decline
rapidly to the thirtieth year, wher
they have almost disappeared. The
period Of greatest expectation is from
10 to IS. 1t Is between these periods
that the majority Of women mus
