lissome, fresh girl without having
her heart torn with the bitter
knowledge that youth calls to
youth, and without suspecting that
he regrets his bargain.
On the other hand, the old hus-
bands vanity stands him in good
stead when he marries a young.
wife. He thinks any girl ought to
be glad to have gotten him, no mat
ter what age he is. Even seventy
year-old millionaires never suspect
that girls of twenty do not marry
them for themselves alone
Naturally, fifty or sixty years, or
even thirty, between a man and
woman is a chasm that only gold
ever bridges over, but twenty years
is not an insurmountable obstacle
at all Indeed, those twenty years
in a man are sometimes just the
gliding that's gilds gold, and that
gives him a little touch of paternal
tenderness toward his young wife
that makes him the best, the ten
derest and the most considerate
husband in the world
Perhaps as good a rule as could
be formulated in the matter of ages
would be to say that the man
should be from eight to ten years
older than his wife This would
fulfill the convention that the hus-
band should be the elder and have
the wider experience or life, but it
would still keep them in the same
class. and give them a chance to
develop along together, to settle
into the same ruts of age, with

A Matter of Temperament.
The young woman whose feet
still ache for the dance, who wants
to laugh, and make merry. and to
go about, can have no happiness
if she is married to an old man who
only wants TO sit in the chimney
corner and nurse his rheumatism.
Neither can the young man who
loves pleasure and society, and who
is keen about outdoor sport. find a
weary old woman a congeuial COM
panion.
But these things are a matter of
temperament and not age. and the
years are not to be considered when
one finds ones affinity-the one Of
whose society one never tires and
who has the same tastes and ways
Of looking al things as ones own.

There Can Be No Objection.

Certainly there can be no OBJ
lection to a man marrying a woman
of his own age, so far as her look
ing as young as he does, and being
able to keep step with him in his
pursuits and pleasures. Nor does
year or two more of age on the
woman's part make an insurmount-
able barrier between them.
1t is. however, a suicidal thing
for both of them when the woman
is fifteen or twenty years older
than her husband Such marriages
are invariably unhappy, whereas
marriages in which the husband is
that much older than the wife are
generally most successful.
There are many reasons why,
what is sauce for the goose is not
sauce for the gander" in the mar
riage proposition. One is that the
man who marries a woman almost
OLD enough to be his mother is in
variably ashamed Of her, no matter
how brilliant. and charming, and
handsome she may be. He knowa
that people laugh at him behind
his back.
And the elderly wife is even more
secretly ashamed of her boy hus-
band. and more sensitive to the rid
icule she knows her choice excites.
More than this, it is not In human

By MRS. w. L. PEEL

n \ article entitled city Sense"
~ by Frederic C. Howe in late
number of The Outlook might
be read with great interest by At
lanta just at present. Mr. Howe
begins by saying:
ut was a rude shock for four
score business men from Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago,
Denver Seattle, and a score of 9TH
er cities. to be entertained last
summer by councilmen who were
business men like themselves in the
city halls of Manchester and Liv-
erpool. 1t was an even greater
shock to be received with the dig
nifty and ceremony of ambassadors
by the most eminent bankers, man
ufacturers and professional men
serving as city officials in Paris,
Brussels, Dusseldorf, Frankfort,
Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Budapest.
Prague and a half dozen other cities
on the continent of Europe. It was
a transition from the unabashed
democracy made up from all ma
lions painfully finding it's way to
self government in the cities of
America; to the most efficient,
most finished, and most highly or
ganized municipal life in the mod
ern world
He goes on then to speak of the
rule of the expert. While English
cities are governed on much the
same plan, the German municipal
ity is considered ideal. When they
want mayor they advertise for
one, and experts from all over
Germany compete. for it. 1t goes
without saying that the qualifca-
tions for office read something like

The Matter of Age
4 MAN who is forty years old,
\ and who is going to be mar
ried, asks this question:

a MAN who is forty years old,
~ and who is going to be mar
ried, asks this question:
What should be the difference
between the ages of husband and
Wife, taking into consideration
their happiness and the good of
the children that may be born to
them?"
TO answer the latter part of this
question first. it may be said that
as general thing, the healthiest
and strongest children are usually
the offspring of women who are In
their twenties and early thirties
That is the ideal time for mother
hood because then woman is at
her prime physically, and she is
old enough to have intelligence
enough to take care of her children
properly, and yet young enough to
be in sympathy with them.
The children or an oVer-young
and undeveloped mother are apt TO
be weaklings and they are almost
sure to suffer in the rearing from
her lack of knowledge and eXpe-
rience of life. There are few sights
more pitiful than that Of a sicllly
little child-mother wrestling in
competently with a sickly little ba-
by. and the man who possesses
such a combination has small
chance of anything but misery. On
the other hand. the too-old mother
is apt to have children who are
queer" and to be overly indulgent
and fussy about them, or else to
raise them inhumanly according to
some system she has dug out of a
book

and others who are children at
four score years.
The consensus of matrimonial ex-
perience of the ages is that it is
best the husband should be older
than the wife, but this only mat
ters when there is any great dis
parity of years Formerly it was
held that a woman at the same age
as a man was really much older
than he, but this is no longer true.
In these strenuous times when men
work so hard, and i've so high,
and when women take such good
care of themselves. and devote so
much thought and consideration
not only to preserving their youth
but to keeping themselves mentally
alert and fresh, it is question if
they are not really younger at the
same age than men are.
