BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. What {s the ideal age to marry? Prof. Dallas Lore Sharpe of Boston University announced yesterday that from a scientific point of view, the ideal husband should be twenty- five years of age. “Thirty,” announced this latest advocate of early marriages, “is the timid age, forty the dangerous age. At thirty @ man counts the cost. At twenty a boy is still Mable to be croupy and to need castor oll and his mother. I am inclined to place the ideal age at twenty-five.” Man that he is, this Boston pedagogue considers the ides! age for marriage only as it affects his own kind. At least his published remarks make no mention cf the age at which a young woman is best fitted to be- come a wife. Ferhaps he shares a widespread masculine belief that the ideal age for a woman to marry is whenever she can get a husband. Ward McAllister, when leader of New York society, once gave it as his solemn opinion that s young woman should always accept any | proposal received during her first season, as this undoubtedly would oe jthe best she would ever get. This would place the ideal age of marriage for women at less than twenty. What do you think about it? ‘The topic of the best age at nineteen when he married Harriet Weat- | WED!
