lildI liieSt lldIl ldScS are HtNs
dice against them.
The study of married couples
shows that age is not always a
factor for happiness and unhappi-
ness in marriage. No hard and
fast rule can be laid down. The
individuals must be taken into
consideration. In many highly
publicized cases of tragic old men
and young girl marriage, the trag-
edy came not so much from diff
ference in age as from the fact
that the girl married for money.
1t has been found that marriages
of older women and younger men
are not generally so happy for
both as marriages of older men
and younger girls. Even 10 or
IL years difference in age is not
certain handicap. A recent
study OF group of married
couples showed that a high per-
centage of happy marriages was
among couples in which the age
seniority of the man was as high
as u years. However, many
authorities believe the ideal age
seniority of the man is two to
eight years.
Marriages of older women with
younger men are usually happy for
the woman-unhappy for the man.
There are exceptions in every
case. For those who wish to dis
regard the warning of age diff
ferential, it must be said that age
differences are no longer consid-
cred serious handicap to mar
riage happiness. There are other
factors much more important.
Young marriages are not likely
to be as happy as mature mar
riages. Where both bride and
bridegroom are young and i'm
mature, there is a greater chance
that they are not fully aware of
the lifetime obligations and prob
lens of marriage.
1t must be understood that mar
riage motives and marriage ideals
change with increasing maturity.
A young man of 20 may marry
because of a strong physical at
traction, whereas he might have
married at IS for social prestige
or money and at so for intellectual
companionship. A girl may marry
at IS because her boy friend is a
good dancer, and at "a she might
be interested in a man mentally
mature and capable of providing
a good home. For these reasons,
early marriage often leaves a
bitter taste in after years.
1t ia impossible to set an ideal
age for marriage. Individuals and
races differ in age of maturity.
Just remember that you should
be physically and mentally mature
before marrying.

problems of courtship).

WRITTEN FOR
SOME ONE ELSE
BY EMILY POST

Dear Mrs. Post: Is il proper for
me to write thank-you notes for
my employer? His wife died re-
Gently and he thinks that ! am the
one 10 write people to thank them
for flowers and other kindnesses.
Since / am his business secretary
and in no way connected with the
family, I think this is somewhat
outside Of my province. I would
be glad to take care Of these notes
for him but I am afraid the peo-
pie will think it curious for an
outsider to thank them. don't
want him TO be criticized.
Answer: Most people are very
lenient at such a time and no one
will be likely to criticize your en-
ployer If you write his notes. II
is quite customary for some one
very near to the person in deep
mourning TO take care of this de-
tail, and after all, a mans per-
sonal secretary is certainly closely
associated with his concerns. You
OF course explain that Mr.. En-
ployer is i'll but wants you to tell
them how deeply he appreciated
Tor how much he was comforted
by their kindness COR their SYM
pathy). l mean. the note must
take a personal message by him
and not be a note of thanks from
YOU. Do you see?
NO Flowers"
Dear Mrs. Post: once in a while
the family of the deceased will
request that no flowers be sent to
the funeral. And yet many peo-
pie will send them. Is it proper
to send flowers even though the
family prints this request?
Answer: mo flowers" means
that no flowers ere expected from
any one, and that it will not be
thought unfeeling if people do not
send any. But this does not pre-
vent those who may have cared
very much for. the deceased or
for an special member of the
family from expressing their per-
sonal feelings by sending flowers.

legislative drive for judicial and legal reforms.
 One bill provides that no one but an attorney-at-law shall be eligible for the office of judge of probate. A similar measure failed two years ago.
 The fee system for probate judges is also abolished by another Gaus- taferri bill. The judge would serve on a straight salary basis.
 During the last election discus sion took place in several parts of the state, notably Hartford, over the limitation of eligibility for pro- bate judgeships to lawyers. There are several probate judgeships in the state now held by laymen and the Democratic candidate in Hart ford was also a layman. He was defeated.
 In eliminating the fee system the Guastaferri bill sets up salary of $6,000 a year as maximum. The salary paid would be based on the amount of business transacted in the individual courts during the year. The bill further provides that fees revert to the city or town in which they are collectible.
 Two more bills of the Waterbury legislator continue his efforts to prevent officials appearing in civil or criminal cases.

IN JOINT SESSION

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 13.--(UP)- The general assembly met in joint session today to observe the 300th anniversary of the signing of the fundamental orders-the worlds first written constitution-and to adopt a resolution commemorating that historical date.
 The orders, which established the form of government continued in the state to this day, and which formed the basis of the national Constitu- ton, were signed by representatives from Windsor, Wethersf1eld and Hartford. It replaced a provisional government set up by the Massa- chusetts colony when Connecticut first was settled in 1885.
 The resolution, in part, read, "Be 1t resolved that:
 'In gratitude and humility, mixed though they be, with pride in our heritage, acknowledge our mmeas- ureable debt to the Divine power under Whose guidance the founda- tion of our state were laid, and to those public spirited and gifted men to whose wisdom, foresight and un- remitting labor we are met today to pay homage with the hope that we, under continued Divine guidance, may devote our unremitting efforts to worthily support those enduring principles of good government that are still as necessary to the we'll being and progress of our common wealth as they were 300 years ago."
 The orders governed the colony for 20 years until King Charles II granted the famous charter which Sir Edmund Andros rnsuccessfully tried to wrest from the colonists so that he might rule as their gover- nor.
 Senate President Pro Tempore Charles J. Arrigoni presided at the joint session and the ceremonies were opened with the singing of America the Beautiful"
 A history of the orders was given by Prof. Odell Shepard, Trinity col- lege, and another speaker was Su- preme Court Justice William M. Maltbie.
 The states observance of the an- niversary of the anniversary will be held at Wesleyan university tomor- | row.
