EARLY MARRIAGES

Vincent Astor, who married Miss
Helen Huntington a few days ago, is
but twenty-five years of age. His bride
is only twenty. 1t is almost a boy
and girl marriage. How 1t sounds like
old fashioned life, or chapter out of
the Waverley novels!
To people whose future is assured,
like the Astors, such union at this
early age involves no sacrifices and
no heroisms. To the ordinary fellow
and cir, of twenty-five and twenty. in
city life at least, 1t means renting an
apartment on some questionable or
even sordid street. Many former So
cial comradeships have to be given
up. The bridegroom may have to
drop his clubs. and the bride must be
cleaning house while her former as
associates are playing bridge.
But the postponement OF marriage
means that educated and cultivated
people have small families. thus fail
ing StEshsntsibpte theisxshsre " ~cll
bred sons and daughters. More than
that. the postponement develops a
lazy regard for luxury, a tolerance OF
easy vices, and habits OF extravagant
spending, particularly in the case of
men. @',
1t is true that many young people
have crude tastes at twenty-five ani
twenty. The girl with the ready
laugh and high spirits fascinates
many boys. Later they learn that
her vivacity was largely assumed for
a purpose. and that underneath the
surface there may lie sharp tongue.
But this is more than Offset by the
fact that at the early age young PEG.
pie have more generous and Demo.
cratic ideals. They are apt to mate
up on the basis of natural affinity OF
tastes. Later they become colder and
more calculating and marry for dol
lars. This is the cause OF an infn
lite number of shipwrecks.
There is too little OF the pioneer
spirit, too little willingness TO TAX,
chances, endure hardships, for tbs
sake of love and home, Plain liy

Indications that District Attorney
