Late Marriages.

Grandmother. who married at

Boston marriage licenses that pres
ent-day brides and bridegrooms are
for orange blossoms is twenty-seven
to thirty three. and most bachelor
dinners are served when the man
most interested is between thirty and
forty.
To people with . pre-war slant on
economic and social problems these
figures are upsetting. The marrying
age has been usually roughly calcu-
lated as being somewhere in the early
twenties. At twenty-three or TWEEN
,ty-four 4 girl was either nlfing q
hope chest or absorbed permanently
in other interests which were. ac-
cording to sitting-room sentiments.
old style. The man not married ut
twenty-five also was looked upon as
confirmed in bachelorhood.
What has happened since the war
fs that young people are not FORM
ing partnerships until they have pre-
pared very carefully. Neither side
wants to marry until the other has
laid a firm foundation in business. or
has stocked up with household fur
nishings. 1t must be remembered,
too. that houses which could be rent
cd for S25 month in grandmother's
time are now priced at $50 to SIS, and
furniture is proportionately high.
Estimates Of living expenses are not
reassuring.
It IL evident that there has been a
serious dislocation OF life due to the
war, and the period of change and re-
adjustment 10 not conducive to set
tling down.
The marriage license figures in Bos-
ton may differ somewhat with those
Of the country. or with those in 9TH

taxable, and probably counts for more
unlovely symptoms in our social life
than we are prone to suppose.-Bos-

NEW YORK, March 2S.-The French
contention that Germany is able to

be taken into consideration that all of
these dividends were announced be-
fore the allied armies moved further
into Germany in an effort to collect at
least a fraction of the indemnities de-
manded.
