The | time is past when a young cou- ple of ordinary fortune can safely Begin married life with a simple pro- vision for the present and a faith in the future. So that first love, which | i | in luckier days implied marriage, n&w! implies itself merely. It is looked upon | passion, butterfly hued, and light on the wing. Recently the clerk of the marriage ! the Interesting statement that for the last twenty-two years the average age of marriage has not varied from 25 years for man and | While the accual rumber of licenses taken out by the very young and by the very old has| increased with the growth of the popu- | lation, the proportion has not changed | enough to dffect statistics appreciably-f This general postponement of mar- riage until maturity means, without doubt, many heartaches for early youth. Boys and girls fall in love with each other without regard to the out- ceme—or to the income, for that mat- ter. Sometimes they defy common sense and marry on nothing a year, to their ultimate regret. But more often they fall out of love as naturally and as comfortably as they fell in. And each puts to good use in succeeding love affairs the knowledge gained from the first experiment. At the beginning of the twentieth century, when bread costs what cake used to, and turkey is to many a city hcusehold an unsubstantial holiday dreéam, marriage is the wildest extrav- agance of which youth in its teens is capable, unless it can go right on liv- ing at.home with papa. The license and the ring. are the cheapest part of it, even when they do take all your pocket money. H A boy is not qualified to take care of a wife. He is hardly competent to take care of himself. When starting . out in business life he has need, for his own use, of all the resources at; his command. A wife and family are ne help to him; they keep him depend- | ent by cutting off that freedom of choice in work which is likely to open for him the road to success. Then his tastes are not yet formed. His judgment is not firm enough. He is-not ready to take his place among men as the head of a household and the. father of a family. When married | he is still a boy and one who is enter- | ing manhood with a heavy handicap. And the girl who marries early is robbing herself of one-half of the zest ' She is making a short hurdle race out of girlhood, courtship and ! marriage. | Is the game worth the candie?

And that! i# what you jeopardize when you take | =0 madly your matrimonial fences. | But first love as an educational ex- | petience is distinctly worth while for| either sex- It is a course of training ! which is of general utility.

Editor The Call: Being a taineer’s wife and mother of quite a family, I should like to say a few words for the old man, the boy and the people that own the land that raises the game. I have never seen anything in favor of them, or, rather, moun- 1 think those that make the game laws never consider the ones that raise the game. A writer in The Call says: “When the law went into force that the quail should not be sold there.was a gueat cry, but still we live, and the rich buy something else, and we are just as well off.” But he did not mention what the old man suffered from the loss of warm clothing, or the boy that went barefooted through the winter. Neither did he say anything about the way the deer keep the orchards and vineyarde back by eating them off. When your orchards come into ‘bearing, your prunes are picked, slipped and put on trays to dry, in come the deer at night and eat them. Also, when the grapes are nearly ripe | and you are counting on the money to pay your taxes and other things, several hundred quail will come. and nearly take the yineyard. The law will not permit us to shoot those quail, to sell or kill a female deer or have a hide found in our po-se:- sion If. however, stock gets into an- other man’'s pasture he can collect damages. 1If you keep chickens in a town and they run on another per- son’s lawn, there is a row right away, and those chickens are quickly taken care of. But the game can take the whole outfit and for those that suf- fer there is no redress. You pay your Commissioners. Why not allow the old man, the boy and the onmes that raise the game something?
