for matrimony." What may be con- sidered certain limits?
 }, Answer: The age-limit for matri- mony differs in widower and q bachelor. A widowed may, with safety, marry later than the. bachel- or. because the man who has been l.arried is accustomed to pulling ir double harness. He is house. broken, go to speak, and II Goes not irk him x" to endure the bondage cf doncs ticity as it does the Da,;ie.vr. Also, he is accustomed to putting up with the ways of women and side-stepping tl.rir little l, 'uliarities. :ild is. there fore. more .lapihb.. thau the bach G or. -'
 . Of course. men differ, and you can never set any arbitrary age-limit for marriage. But should say g or B would be the very latest at which it would be advisable for bachelor to venture to take the plunge into the sea of matrimony.
 As between the two ladies whom my correspondent has. in view, the ore who is B is the best bet.
 A girl of p has little in common with a man of 4S. He is tired of the giddy whirl, and wants to settle down to his own fireside. She is just at the stepping-out age, when she is crazy for amusement and ,,1o eLn ~s& a merry dance or else be sour and disgrunted companion if forced to stay at home.
 But the woman of B is also ready to settle down and to begin the busi- ness of life. And she makes an ideal wife and mother because her heart is in her job.
 DOROTHY DIX. Dear Miss Dix: am young man of 30. have been going steadily with a girl for whole year and like her very much. But about six months ago I met another girl whom 1 like just as well and see just as often.
 What shall I do? I hate to lose either of them, for I know that they both love me and that I will break the heart of the one I don't marry. Please give me your advice.
 ANXIOUS. Answer: Now that they have stopped polygamy in Utah, am afraid you will have to emigrate to Turkey if you are not willing to give up one or the other of the girls Turkey is about the only place left where man can have two legal wives, and they tell me that even in Turkey plural wives are not so pop ular as they used to be, on account of the high cost of living. 5'' So perhaps you had better, after all, decide which one of the ladies you prefer and throw the handker- chief to her. But don't worry about the other one dying of broken heart. Girls have died and worms have eaten them, but not for love.
 DOROTHY DIX.

But she sat there motionless,
knowing well that her testing had

meet it. What she had done, she
must face-what she was. she
must admit-a hot obstruction at
her throat kept the breath from
