H game was suff mfort at this check If girls would wait until they are 26, 27, or even 30 be- ¢ fore advancing to the altar, would it eliminate much un-| happiness and sometimes divorces? The letter follows: Dear Miss Grey: A girl used to be grown up at 18. If she wasn’t married by the time she was 22 or 23, the family became nervous. If she reached 25 and had not made her maiden voyage toward the altar, she automatically passed) and thirty-{ivp, eh? into the “old maid” class, and that was that, And in those days, being the old maid of the family didn’t mean that a girl had a good job, her own pay envelope, her’ he, own friends, and her independence. She stayed around the home and wajted on the young folks and catered to the old ones, took what was handed to her and was supposed to be grate. | ful, and socially was somewhere above the hired girl and below the women folks who had married as women should. Half a century ago this advice from Justice Selah B. Strong, of Brooklyn, would have been considered too ridiculous or too radical to be considered at all. Today it sounds very sound: “It would be better if girls waited until they were 26 or 27 or even 30 years old before marrying. “It's the runaway marriages, the ‘kid’ marriages, the hurry.up mar riages that bring wives and husbands before me, pleading for a sepa- ration.” Undoubtedly there !s nothing so;#——— beautiful or so appealing as young | Cynthia Grey will love.
