tions. There are enough risks IN matri-
mony without him taking any chances on
what he is going to be himself when he
grows up, and the kind of u wife he VIII
want when he Is a man.
That carly marriages are much more
apt TO turn out disasterouslv than those
entered into by mature people i amply
proven hv statistics, which show that far
the greater number of divorces arc asked
for by people who married IN their salad
davs More than this. If you Will notice
YOU will find out that the men who 1T
fftv and over suddenly kick over the
traces and become involved IN dIsgracciul
scandals with women. are men who,
nearly all, married when they were boys.
They married when they were SO young
that they had not had their fling they
knew nothing Of women and their wiles
and arts. and So when they got middle
aged. and had accumulated enough
money to make 1t worth while TO bc pluck
ed, they fell victims TO the first siren who
made eyes at them. Moreover, the

Ten years later, when he meets up with
her, she bores him stiff and he wonders
what he ever could have seen III her 10

ferent set of graccs and charms to fire his
fancy then because he has come to mans
estate, and thinks as man and not rs a

Another objection to early marriage is,
that q boy is selfish and lacks sclf-coutrol,
and is arrogant, and very superior to
woman in his own opinion. and 50 unless
he marries Patient Griselda they are
sure TO spat and fight like two children
1t takes age and experience with life To

1t was a warm, murky morning and the
wagons of vegetables around the big
market seemed wilted with the heat. On
the walk stood boxes of beans, crates of
peaches and piles of potatoes and melons
while between them walked women with
heavy baskets on their arms.
Near the curb stood an old wagon, rusty
and with the top broken off. And in il
was pile of cabbages and green things of
all kinds. On top OF nest of bags lay
thin, brown, ragged form. 1t was poor
little Rastus. No father had he ever known
his mother died but few weeks before
and he had been taken care of by an aunt,
who was poor and cross. The boy helped
her with her garden truck and drove the

bags.
