Too Young
Marriage
Problems
BY MARTHA LEE

wise against early marriages. The
young man or woman, thrilling with
the realization of perhaps the first
little affair of the heart, will plunge
madly into matrimony. The ending

story book finale because most of

mistake and unhappiness results.

find themselves in this predicament
missed all the parties, the dances,
and tine dates that every young
person wants to have. Consequently,

wants to experience the youthful
joys he or she missed by settling

couple will be able to settle down
