Man Is Much Older

Dear Martha Lee What are the posi-

where the man is i'll the late forties and
in such a marriage as this as the girl is

OF home and matrimony rather than in

So much depends upon the girls
disposition. My observation con-
vinces me that difference in tempera-
ment, much more than difference in
age, is the deciding factor of hap
piness in marriage. The girls
thought may in no way be a selfish
one. A serious minded girl often
admires matured intelligence and
judgment.
