The marriage registers at st. Maryle-
bone Church, for instance, where we'd
dings of all classes take place, reveal the
fact that from 30 to 40 is the age at
which many women marry. Here are

OF other churches afford further proof of
the fact that this is the heyday of popu-
larity for the mature maiden.
After all, there is a great charm about
the woman who has left her girlish fan

rived at that age when she knows exactly
the value of marriage and what II means
and men are beginning to realize that she
is more likely to prove a real companion

ideas are limited to dress and amuse-

woman of 80 does not expect too much.

PRINCE OF WALES AT OXFORD.
His Career rs Undergraduate Opens
Early In October. -

From the London Standard
The career of the Prince of Wales as
an Oxford undergraduate opens early in
October and preparations are now be-
ing hurried forward at Magdalen Col
lege for his reception and that of his
suite.
Michaelmas term at Oxford officially
begins on October l, but the undergrad
yates are not expected to come into
residence until the end of the week fol-
lowing. II the Prince Of Wales matricu-
lates at Magdalen strictly in statu
pupillari'' he must be in residence by
Saturday, October -. The rooms to be
occupied by his royal highness are sit
uated on the northern side of the clois-
tiers on what is known as No. stair
case. Looking southwark they COM
mand the much admired view which EN-
braces the south and western side Of
the cloister and the Founders Tower.
Northward they command the beautiful
lawn fronting the New Q740 build
ings, the building themselves and the
deer park.
In spite of statements to the contrary,
the buildings have no historical asso-
cations, being of comparatively recent
construction. The north side Of the ia
nous cloisters was demolished about a
century ago in accordance with the aes-
thetic idea prevailing at the period that
all clustered Quadrangles should be
open on one side, but the change call
ed forth such universally hostile criti-
cism that the North side was rebuilt in
1922
Edward Gibbon spent the most idle
and Improbable months of his whole
life" in rooms on the site about l60
years ago. The addition of bathrooms
so as to make the suite entirely self
contained and up to date has provided
an opportunity for the entire reconstruc-
ton of the drainage system. This
is taking place simultaneously with the
redecoration.
Every precaution in fact is being taken
to safeguard the health of the heir to
the throne. The Princes private tutor.
Henry Hansell, will be in immediate at
tendance and rooms are also being pro-
vided for a valet.

Class III-The Great Divide.
The colleges OF Class III are "institu-
lions whose standards of admission and

or so loosely administered, as to make a
requirement Of two years graduate work
for a masters degree probable" Here
plainly is the great educational divide.
From Class II to Glass I is not an
especially far cry. college in the for
mer class might. by a gentle increase in
its standards Of admission and gradua-
ton. raise itself in time to Sthe higher
grade. But Class III Is almost the will
derness. from which egress is possible
only by the very hardest Kind OF travel.
The colleges In this class must be ready
to devote years of labor to internal bet
terment before they can hope to rank
with Harvard or Princeton. In fact, Ii
may well be questioned whether the
jump is not too long to make at one try.
The ascent must rather be gradual, first
to Glass ii, and then finally to Glass I.
AS already noted, eighty-four institu-
lions fall IN this list, many of them
wholly unknown In this part Of the coun-
try. The five that have a local interest
are given below. 1t should be noted that
four OF them are State universities and
the other is a college of some thousands
Of students. That any enlightened Com
monwealth will allow its representative
institution to remain In this class for
any length of time is not to be expected:
