J What Man Should Yo Marry? By DOROTHY DUL -i ; a-.Cv-.sWV A woman who is getting her fourth divorce, and who should have cut her wisdom teeth on husbands and know whereof she speaks, advtaea all (lrla to marry old men. She says that a young man dpes not know how lo treat a wife, and It la only the elderly husband who Is tender, kind and cona'.derate to a woman, and who may be safely trusted out of her sight. H'm I wonder? Of course there Is an old proverb that haa been banded down from mother to daugh ter for ages that says, "It Is bet ter to be an old man's darling than a young man's slsve." But Ilka other prorerbs this one Is only true In spots and under certain condi tions, and, as a general thing, the girl who marries an old man. thinking that ha will make of her a pampered pet, finds that she has been grievously gold bricked in the transaction. She has got the old husband, and the slavery to boot. But at what age Is it safest to take a matrimonial risk on a men? Twenty? Thirty? Forty? Fifty? Sixty? Pass up twenty to b-tiln with. Heaven help the girl who Is fool enough to marry a boy of twenty! At twenty a man haa all the matrimonial faults In the calendar and none of l he virtues. He Is callow, egotistical, self-centred, selfish, undeveloped, unstable, and mar. riagt with him spalls certain misery. There's a divorce coupnn that goes with nearly every marriage license that Is Issued to a boy of twenty. No very young man ever thinks of anything but Ills own pleasure. Life has not disciplined him and taught him selfrontrol, and so when things go wrong In the homo end he feels upon his shoulders the burdens of family llfe, he Is dead sure to take out on his wife the prlca of his own folly. The gaiety and a muse menu that rightly be long to his time of life call to him. and when be lias to stay at home and walk the colic and push the perambulator In stead of honking away in automobiles ir two-stepping at dances, or roaming the green golf links, he Is the family gloom, all light. Beside which, no boy of 39 years or thereabouts knows what he wanta In a wife, and the one best bet is that he'll tire of whomever ha did marry, no mat ter what a concatenation she may be of feminine graces and virtues. Therefore, girls, as you value your happiness, never, never, never marry a mere boy. Kidnaping is a life sentence at hard labor in matrimony as it is In crime. Thirty Is a good risk. By the II roe a man is 3 years old his character I, at least, well enough formed for a woman to be able to look him over and see what she's getting. When she marries blm she Isn't marrying a human riddle, the answer to which no one can gaesa, as she does when she marries a boy. Also a man at that age has bees batted up against the world long enough to knock some of the conceit out of him, and a little consideration for other peo ple Into blm. Agalnat thirty It may be said that a msn still retains many of the grand Turk Ideas of his youth concerning woman, and that he will expect any woman that he marries to be properly grateful to him for the honor that he confers upon her. Also, that moat men at that age axe Just in the hardest part of their fight to get a foothold In busi ness so that the women who marry them must be willing to do their part to make many sacrifices, endure many priva tions and to be content with the per functory attention cf a man whose .... heart . centered on getting along. But In favor of the man or thirty It may also be said that be haa the fir and passion of youth, for him are still the glory and the circling wings of love before romance pales and sentiment dies down into ashes. Ha can give to his wife that most precious of all boons, comradeship, and it matters not to the woman wo gets this whether her rugs are Oriental of New Jersey, whether she eats off Sevrea or Iron atone china. 80, if you marry at man of thirty, girls, you'll stand very good chance of never having to buy a ticket for Reno. Forty, though, is an even better age for a husband than thirty because all of the advantagea that a man possessed at thirty he still has at forty with two ad ditional qualifications that make bia mat rimonial stock a gilt edge security in which a prudent woman may safely In vest her happiness. At forty a man Is stiil csjtfcl' and when he does love It is with an ardor that makes the calf lov of youthful Ro meos taste Ilk milk and water beside champagne. He Is a man at the full maturity of his powers, knowing what he needs In a wife. body and soul, and the woman who mar rle him need never give herself a mo ment s uneasiness a to hi loyally. He's seen the whole generation of charmers and Passed them by for his ideal, and the flattery of the thing la enough to keep a woman daaed with happiness. Moreover, the man of forty has sown his wild osts. He Is ready to settle down and be as domestic as the house cat. and he la almost tearfully appreciative of the efforts a woman makes to make him a good home. Finally, t gild the Illy and paint the rose, the man of forty can nearly always give his wife a comfortable living, which Is not a thing to be de spised. Bo, If you want a soft snap, glrla. marry a man of forty. At fifty a man begins to deteriorate as a matrimonial proposition. Ills hab its have become too fixed. He hss set tled Into the narrowness of old bache lorhood, and ha cannot adjust himself to married life. He la used to spending his money on himself, and It hurts him Ilk pulling a tooth to have to ulvtda It with a wife. He Is accustomed t the protection of club service, and he gets grouchy because a woman with on cheap-i. maid can't run a borne as well as the club la run with a French chef and Eng lish butlers. The woman who marries a man of fifty can count on being bossed good and plenty, but very often fifty Is able lo offer some very attractive chromoe In the snap of automobile and country places along with Itself. Still, girls' don't marry a man of fifty unless you are sure middle name I Patient Orlselda. As for sixty, beware. All old people are tyrranlcal. and the elderly husband of a young wife can give lifelike imi tations of all th fifty-seven different varletiea of Jealousy, and then sonic If you marry a man of sixty you qual ify as a nurso for rheumatism and gout, and being a slave to an old man's whims. And that' a no picnic, believe me. Never marry a man of sixty, girls, without hiving a good lawyer draw up the settle ments. TheHurdy-GurdyJ BT PERCY SHAW.

There sr two eclipses scheduled for this month, both of which miss us by a narrow margin.

The world la In tn grip of tha carboni ferous age. Because men have not learned to supply themselves with beat and power except from the stores that nature laid up mil lion of years ago, a strike of coal min ers threatens to arrest th progress of civilisation.

We may eay that these plants, which with their feet burled In tha stag nant water, bore an outward resemblance to forests, of gigantic ferns, dub mosses, mareataira, rushes and weeds.
