mere mas IdIlen Il SplenQlu tear
From the passion flower at the gate.
She is coming, my dove, my dear,
She is coming, my life, my fate.
The red rose cries: she is near, she II
near!"
The girl who waits year in and year
out for a lover who comes up to the
mark of expectancy often dies ar
old maid. IL she centers her thoughts
on one who is not in q position to
wed the sweetheart Of his youth until
he has advanced himself in business,
she braves the criticism, in her lonely
hours, of those who claim that she
will wait and wish for this particular
man without her hopes being realized.
Sentimental fancy, II waiting and
wishing a~rdently, putting of the day
SO long looked forward to, wrecks hap
piness in the long run.
In her youthtime she sympathized
and planned with delight from the ap-
proach of the bridal day to the ami.
versary Of their happy married life,
with pictures of events, and lively,
good times. It was simply a delusion,
fieeting, dragging along for years
and no wedding bells for her. Living
In the country, where everyone knew
of postponements. and disappoint.
ments, with gossipings, and counting
of her age, as well as observing her
fading charms, was not to be endured
by the woman whose heart hungered
from waiting.
The city, which lures thousands of
newcomers who have left pleasant
homes in the country, adds this
stranger to it's cramped quarters and
unsatisfying environments. Where
should the woman alone and among
strangers board?" was her first query.
A homelike boarding house had a
hall bedroom, which she was obliged
to take until a more desirable room
was vacant. Where should a woman
boarding away from her home receive
the few friends and acquaintances
that might come to the door to visit
her occasionally? She wondered. To
attempt to talk to anyone in the little
stuffy parlor was worse than seeing
no n at all, especially If the gen.
tleman was an old acquaintance whom
she wished to see.
The woman who had moved to the
city was sensible and good. The one
man for whom she had waited long
years and wished for till hope had
nearly died out of her famished heart,
had come to her, in her little cottage,
on the v of her going to the city;
and asked her to write to him, and
when taking her hand, said in a low
voice: I'VE have been sweethearts
for years and have not come to any
conclusion as yet. VIII you allow
me to call upon you in the city and at
last to talk over the all-important
question, If it is not too late?"
IT'S a long road that has no turn
to it," she had always been told. The
landlady %curiously fathoms out the
mystery of why she had inquired If
she could accommodate two for sup
per in the dining-room, soon after the
others had gone. "A wedding sup
per, true as l live" laughed the land.
lady to herself. She was right in her
surmise. A bride and groom were her
guests after long waiting and wish
ing.

OF the patient pair who wait.
When chits of maids not yet sweet
sixteen are beginning to mix the
study of beaux with their school
studies, young girls just turned TWEEN
ty give "debutante parties" thus
tacitly admitting they may be wooed
and therefore won-and young women
halfway between charming twenty and
worrisome thirty are vying with
the younger women to carry on the
matrimonial prizes-no wonder people
are In bewilderment as to which Is
woman's best marrying age.
There are those who will declare
with Shakespeare, that maidens
should wed young. Juliet was but six
teen when she was wooed by the ro-
mantle Romeo.
Others argue that girlish fancies
change all too soon. The mar whom
a girl would firmly believe to be a
hero-a veritable Adonis-when she
Is two-and-twenty would appear to be
a coxcomb in her eyes two or three
years later. Older and wiser people
fix a woman's best marrying time at
twenty-five, declaring that her wisdom
Is ripper, her judgment clearer, and
she Is better adapted to battle adroit-
ly, with womanly tact, with the aver
age cross-grained husband. Men are
seldom or never willing to adapt
themselves to their wives moods or
views. In such a problem as which
Is the right age for a girl to wed,
when the wisest of philosophers dis
agree, how shall one go about to un-
ravel the p%erplexing tangle?
Taken all in all, there are some
maids wiser and more competent to
become wives, and good ones, at six
teen than others are at a decade of
years later. Some are younger in
their hearts, their ways, and in ok
p%erience at twenty-six than Is the
shrewd maid of sixteen, who has an
old. clever head on her young shout
ders. In such matters courtship of
not less than a years duration should
be insisted upon by the girls
guardians. At the expiration of that
time it should be left to the heart to
decide.
Love broadens a woman's ideals,
causes her to ponder long and well
over life's possibilities. Realize the
fascination of being nearer and dear
er yet than all others to the one
whom she loves, and who loves in re-
turn, offering her marriage. Any age
past sixteen is the proper time for a
girl to wed If she has made the right
choice of a mate. At no time is a
woman SO old that she should forego
the blessing Of companionship such as
a good husband can crown her with
peace and happiness for both. Good
marriage, and alas, poor ones, can be
contracted without regard to age, i'm
experience, or profound wisdom.
Much discretion should be used in
the selection of husbands and wives.
An elderly man cannot expect Simon.
pure love for him to fill the breast OF
the girl of sixteen. A middle-aged
man can rarely find congeniality with
the wife many years his senior. Care
full choosing adjusts the matter sat
isfactorily.
