TOO EARLY MARRIAGE OFTEN FATAL
TO HAPPINESS, SAYS BRITISH WRITER
LONDON. May ~.

LONDON. May ~.
VTYHAT II the right age for
w marriage,

question Is one for doctors and
psychologists. II 10 for them. and
not for the student Of manners. to
determine the age at which . girl
becomes . woman and maid may
properly become q matron.
Though they cannot lay down
any hard and fast rule. for there
Is a world Of difference between
different individuals. II IL quite
certain that they would favor IN
absolute prohibition Of marriage
until an age vastly In excess Of
sixteen; and we may take It that
everyone would like the law to
take cosnizance Of their views.

eugenists are rather fond Of writ

tai and moral as well a. physical
considerations: and when he have
settled the age at which . wise
eugenist would sanction marriage.
there remains another question Of
more. intimate concern to most Of
US.
Are early or late marriages the
more conductive to the happiness
of individuals and the stability Of
society7
It 10 Q question to which super
ficial people are prone to supply
. facile answer.
THE PERMANENT PACT.
Late marriages, they tell ps. are
the chief cause Of the lax morality
OF the age.
It 10 natural. they argue that
young men who delay marriage
should SOW wild oats. Young
women cannot always be trusted
not to initiate them In that respect.
Early marriage, gratifying their
passion for romance. would re-
move temptation from their path:
