Lady Jeune has just given her opinion on the age at which a girl should marry, and she has come to the conclusion that our modern life may fit a woman better to maty late than

Early.

That womenkind do not belong to one type alone is a fact to he remembered, and Lady Jeune admits that early marriage is still every. thing to the woman of a clinging, gentle nature, to whom the role of wife and mother is the ideal one.

The girl who finds interests outside the home, however, postpones as long as she can the giving up of a life of pleasurable excite. ment for the responsibilities and restrictions of marriage. Grandmothers of forty will not be seen by the present generation, declares Lady Jeune, for girls are less and less anxious to marry before they are past twenty-fiva.

To fix the exact age when it is best to marry. is a difficult task. School room bridas some times make very good wives, and middle-aged romances often have very happy endings.

"Again and again," he says, "I have put a nice man next to a nice girl at tea, only to find that they never spoke to each other. Still, in the end, the right man and the right girl always found each other."

Sir Francis Jeune and the London borough stipendiorles, however, would probably have their doubts as to the soundness of Mr. Meyer's philosophy.
