opportunity to put down a solid foun-

the university law school in addition

One day she remarked that she did

to wait a while, she thought, and was
in no hurry, says writer in the Amer

The next time l saw her l was
armed with some interesting facts l
had obtained from friend of mine
who is an insurance agent. These
facts dealt with the marrying ages of
women in various states, and showed
that the average bride is surprisingly
young In other words, the woman
who does not marry before she is
twenty-five stands an astonishing big
chance of not marrying at all. | told
her that out of every six girls of TWEEN
ty-five who refused a proposal only
one on the average ever received a

Cod-Skin for Book Covers.

According to the Weser Zeitung
(Bremen), Berlin bookbinder has
discovered a new material for book
binding-codfsh skin-a doubly-wel-
come discovery in these days of leath-
er shortage. In itself the use of fish
skin for book-binding is no novelty;
among others, shark leather had pre-
viodsly been used for binding de luxe
for the sake of its durability and beau
tifui markings.
Cod-skin has several advantages
over shark-skin; it is more abundant,
more easily procurable, and, therefore,
cheaper. The appearance of the skin,
unscaled and properly prepared, re-
sembleS snakes skin. Its strength
and durability have been tested and
found equal to parchment by the royal
misunderstanding Office in Berlin. 1t is
easy to work and literally untcarable
and should therefore prove very
valuable substitute for leather, not only
for bookbindery, but for the manufac
ture of leather goods.
