 The drowsy birds forgot to stng,4
 And you and I
 To talk of love or live for faith
 Or bnild ourse1veS a, nest,
 And now our hearts are shelterless, Our sun is in the vest
 How many young couples who are in love with each other, and are in tending to marry put off the happy day until he has better position, which will yield more money to marry on.
 Sometiines these great expectations are not realized. in a hurry. Business grows worse instead of better The young mans salary is cut instead of raised.i Marriage hopes are further off than ever. The young mans expenses are just as high, room rent, food ana clothing. It's weE-nigh impossible to lay by a dollar.
 But with love at the helm they sail on, hoping for better days. If the girl is rich, her father may come to the rescue and help out. He will do most anything to see his daughter settled and happy. Such a girl believes she is safe in taking the chances of his being able to support her this year, that year some time. But the poor girl dare not take the risk if his salary is insuf7 fcient to support two. If she works for a living, it is a serious problem to sO1ve-giving up the surety Which places a roof over her head and food for an uncertainty.
 They both love on through sunny years and dark ones which stretch be- yond. They agree that they will wed when fortune smiles upon them. But they encounter only Dame Fortunes s frowns. Thus they fritter away life and youth.
 A man can wed any time and. be sure of a certain amount of happiness and favorable results, But when a woman has passed the rubieon of youth her chances of wedlock with home and children therein, grow few CT. While it Is not advisable to say in each. case that it would be better to take time by the forelock and taste of her sweetness and best fruits while one may. there is much for and against such decision.
 The prudent, couple need have little hesttancy in wedding. They can live better in welded life than in single. His room can shelter two quite as easily as 1t shelters him. While it is not congeniaI for a married woman to be, advised that she may have to 'owrk after wedlock, yet there are ex- tenuating circumstances. If she holds her position for a while, the com bined salaries of the two will enable but a few small rooms. The girl all ways got up early and got her own breakfast-why not cook for two? Dinner got hot after both return to their doyecote makes home all the happier. Both being steady, saving and loving, each willing to sacrifice and do for the other, there should be little need of waiting to better their fortunes. Hand in hand, they can most always weather !'fe's storms bet ter together.
