How the fa nee WW1 + effected is a

It used to be thought that early
marriages were in every respect'a
great good, that they preempted the
morality of a countrint!de the young
-
husband more itidnstrious And the
young wife more thoughtful and provi-
dent It all step/rids arpon whet is re-
ckoned "early." Anything more con-
trary to all sense and decency than for
men to marry girls that might be their
daughters cannot be thoug.lit of. Jariu-,
ary and June can never be expected
to get on together, and all the talk
about "an old man's darling," is so
much rot. .A. yoane, woman can never
talk kindly to an aged spouse who
needs a nurse for more than heeneeds
wife and she never ought Then the
absurd and immoral idea that girls
must start in married life at that age:
where their father and mother ended,
works a great deal of mischief. By air
means let yoimg people, especially in a
young country like this, marry even
though they cannot keep a servant or
two and cannot. indulge in all the deli-
cacies of the season. At the same
time it is worse than folly to marry
without a fairly reasonable prospeet of
supporting a family, or before either
wife.or husband has come to years of
discretion or maturity. It is a sin •
against themselves and against the
corning generations for Mere boys mil
girls of eighteen and nineteen to rush
into matrimony. 'They are in doirig
so violating physical laws and they
will pap the penalty in ways and to an
extent which they little suspept Any
girl that marries before' she is twenty.
one is ex.ceedingly foolish and shert-
sighted. She will be wise when it is
too late, and will then wish with all
her heart that she had not married till
she was twenty-five. She would have
been both healthier and happier and so
would her children if she had. On the
other hand a theughtful, prudent, mer-
e]. and upright young man will, in ordi-
nary circurnstefices, not think of
marrying till he is about thirty, The
disgracefully early marriages are among
the poorest and most provident, and
hence the rate of increage is geeatest
among the Meet thoughtful and the
most shiftlees of the eemmunity. It
is not that people thotild Wait till they
sr,et rich before they marry, but there
are physicial reasene Why none should
marry but these Who have eenne to fall
