RIGHT AGE TO MARRY
Beatrice Fairfax Thinks Any Time Between Twenty and
Forty Is In Order With Love and Respect
AS the Real Motive.

; others. Julia at nineteen was
quite mature in her outlook on
life. SO her marriage to twenty
four-yearold Frank was not q
risk. They have SO many interests
and enthusiasms I'm common that'
they go their way together shar-
ing every joy as husband and wife
should.
Helen spent her first summer
after she finished college with her
friend, Mary. And. naturally, she
was thrown much with Mary's
older brother, VIII. For several
weeks VIII and Helen were the

her childish pranks. Before the
summer was over Will and Helen
were engaged.
Helen was twenty, VIII thirty
five when they married. Yet
HeIen's mother gladly gave her
consent. For Helen's bright. live
ly twenty and Wins steady de-
pendable thirty-five happened to
be thoroughly congenial. They
loved each other. So, in their
case, age was comparatively an
unimportant factor.
The marriage Of April and De-
cember - twenty and sixty 10
never wise. Whether based on
daughterly affection, youthful
admiration for an older woman
or love OF money, it can never
be founded on the love that lasts
and satisfies through years Of
married life. We naturally and
rightfully seek companionship and
understanding love among those
of our own generation. J..
The right age to Marry
When you've had your years Of
happy young girli1ood free from
serious cares - when you're old
enough mentally ara physically
to undertake the responsibilities
and duties of wifehoOd ana
motherhood; when you're not too
old, too settled, too infirm to
adjust yourself happily to mar
rage. 81
Aside from these limitations
of extreme youth and advancing
years, the right age for q woman
to marry is any time between
about twenty. and about forty
when she meets man who loves
her and whom she can respect
and love.

trees hung over the sides Of the

many gorgeous birds-parrots and

There is much disagreement
regarding the right to marry. It's
doubtful whether there's any one

a girl is practically a child at six

Boys are still slower IN growing

abled him to chain the lightning
and to talk through the air, but
it as never taught a woman how
to chain a husband to the house
nights or to keep silent during a
bridge game.
1t has demonstrated that per-
+ petual motion is only a fond
dream, yet we still continue to be-
Ieve in perpetual love.
By it's aid man has found the
poles at the ends Of the earth,
but he never can find his own
hat nor the particular socks he
wanted to wear.
1t has taught him to understand
the Einstein Theory and the
civilization of the ancientS-yet he
cannot understand woman with
whom he has lived half his life.
It has helped him to compute
the exact number of miles a
comet will travel to reach the
earth, and the exact moment it
will arrive, but never the num-
Der Of miles he will walk in
search of lost golf bail, or the
exact moment he will get homo
for dinner.
It has shown us how to draw
electricity from the clouds. but
never how to draw a smile or a
compliment from a husband be-
fore breakfast or the truth from
the lips Of a lover.
It has convinced man that two
atoms cannot occupy the same
space at the same time, but not
that two women cannot sinful
taneously occupy the same space
in a mans heart.
It has taught man the mys-
FERROUS and powerful effects Of
the X-ray. but it has not yet
taught him to refrain from lying
on the beach under a hroi!ing
sun, until his shoulders are blus-
tered.
1t has taught him TO beware
of touching a lighted match to
dynamite, but not to abstain
from writing burning letters to
q lady Of the chorus.
1t has demonstrated that an en-
CINE must be continually fed
with coal or gasoline in orde: to
keep it running. but it has never
caused a man to doubt that u
woman's heart will go right on
jumping and beating for him,
WITHOUT fuel.

She rested her head on the

She followed him quietly to the

kissed her. Then she took the
ring from her finger and drop

mothers desk.
Hours later she was sitting
there writing:
