rho Right AGO no Marry.--i.

The Right Ago To Marry.
A youth wants to know at what age
a man should marry.
That depends on circumstances The
clock does not strike the same golden
hour for every man. but. generally
speaking. the right age for a man to
marry is when he Is old enough 20
know bis own mind, when he has met
the right girl. and when he is making
enough money TO support family in
coihIorn and this Psychological mo-
nent may occur almost anywhere be-
'Ween the cradle and the grave.
ersohaliy, believe that q humane
ana paternal government should pass
law making 1t impossible for a man
70 marry before he is rs wears cid,
before that time man Is no more
Tilted to undertake the responsibIlities
OF matrimony, and to take his own
s u q Momans life into his hands
than baby is TO pilot the Leviathan
| across the Atlantic
Before he is 20 a mans tastes are
unsettled and crude, his Judgment Is
uniformed, and he has not the slightest
idea OF what he is going TO be himself,
wife. ~
1t is boys who bind themselves for
| lie to women old enough to be their
mothers. 1t is college lads who
espouse odies OF the chorus with tenn
pestuous pasts whom they meet At
midnight frolics and marry without
ever having seen them with their
paint off. 1t is when a man is asihine-
and-twenty that he picks out a wife
by her complexion, and for the little
furi on the nape OF her neck without
ever investigating into the interior
furnishings of her head, or giving a
thought ms to her temper and tongue.
Now ii is melancholy fact that
our tastes in people change just as
much as il does In food and clothes.
No really grown up man relishes the
| strawberry ice cream soda that raw
ished his youthful palate, nor could
he be hired to wear the flamboyant
neektie of his sophomore days.
And, by the same token, the mature
man is bored stiff by the very type
of woman who was his ideal OF
feminine charm in his boyhood. No
man ever meets his first sweetheart
after the lapse of years without
thanking God for his mercy that he
escaped marrying hcr, while II he did
marry her--well, sometimes miracles
happen and heaven protects fools and
the long shot wins out after all. And
sometimes there is divorce. And some
times long years of dull endurance OF
hopeless misery.

He carries no bundle Of bills past due
He's up TO the minute,
