Y. 14th Regiment have just arrived in Washington from Richmond by way of Fortress Monroe and Baltimore. They, with several other men -of their regiment who had lost limbs at the Battle of Bull Run, were sent down the James River by the Confederates. They said today that they were given no possible chance of learning any- thing about the affairs of the Confed- erate Army around Richmond.

DEAR MISS DIX—At or around what age should a man marry—in his early twenties or eight or ten years later? If a man is in love at 21 should he for- get the affair and wait until he is older? Should he marry if his financial re- sources are very limited? L W. 8. Answer:—I have just been reading a book about eugenics, and in that the au- thor gives 25 as the T age for men and women to marry, because by that age they have reached mental and physical maturity. But, of course, no specific date can be given for marriage, because whether a marriage is advisable or not depends upon so many other things besides age. En- vironment; whether a young couple have inherited money or have parents who are ready and willing to help them; whether t.heu{mm‘ man is ambitious or not; the occupation he intends to follow in life; are all factors that should be consid- ered in determining when a man should marry. But under any and all circumstances I am opposed to early marriages, and I base my opposition upon the experiences of the thousands upon thousands of people who write and tell me of their matrimonial woes. At least nine-tenths of these unhappily married men and women lay the blame for their marriages being faflures upon their having married too young. Occasionally a man and woman will write and say that they married in their teens and that they grew up together and that they have lived happily, though even these tell of the terrible struggle they went through as boy and girl husband and wife to make a living and rear a family, hardships that they might have avoided if they had waited until the man had settled at some work that would have enabled him to support a family. But it is sheer luck when a boy and girl who marry in their teens develop along the same line and remain comrades. This good fortune befalls few, and so most of my corrospondents tell of boy and girl marriages that have resulted in disaster because, as they grew up, they grew away from each other, they lost their taste for each other, and nearly always when they were mature men and womeh they found their real mates. Then ensued broken hearts. Divorce or else a dull acceptance of duty that crushed all of the joy out of life. The horror of being bound to an unloved wife or husband that is as much death in life as it is for a live man and woman to be chained to a corpse. 2 ‘The more intelligent a boy is, the greater the risk he runs in m: at 21. At that age all he looks for in a girl is for her to be good-looking and a peachy dancer and to like to play the games he does and to have an amusing Ele of chatter, and so he thinks he is in love with any giddy little flapper who is lively and gay and easy on the eyes, At that age he is as silly as she is, but five or ten years later she may be still Just where she was. Not quite so good-looking. Not quite so r‘y and lively. But mentally the same. While he has m: on growing and developing and learning until he has left her miles behind , 50 far behind him that they live in dif- ferent worlds and have no longer even the same speech. The bitter cry of the neglected wife is that her husband picked her out for a wife and that he marry her? And the answer is that but she doesn’t suit him as & mature man, riage would be an exception to the general rule. There is no to-1 shot on drawing the matrimonial prize. And don’t you have some assured way of making a living. It isn't fair fair to the girl.
