MARSH. Los Andeles. Cal. F my daughter is bitten by the matrimony bug at the age of 17 1 shall sigh for the days, the good old days, when the parents of refractory maidens were wont to shut them into their rooms to think over their foolishness on bread and water. That is the course I should like to pursue, but, living as I do in these days, when the new commandment, "Parents, obey your children," has geen given unto us, I shall probably not" be allowed any "say" in the matter at all. Still, like little Mary, "I can't help finkin'," and here are some of my "foughts." Is a girl of seventeen old enough to marry? Well, just think of the seventeen-year-olds of your acquaintance---little giggly, gushy high school girls, immature in body, mind and soul. Think of marrying one of them! Think of being married to one of them! A girl of seventeen hasn't a thought of any one but herself. Her pompadour, her complexion, her figure, her character (with a capital C, if you please), constitute her sole interests in life. This is all very natural. Youth is inevitably selfish and self-centered. I am not criticising Miss Seventeen; I am only protesting against piling the burdens of wifehood and motherhood upon her slender young shoulders. Don't, don't force the child into premature womanhood as a careless hand pressesa open a rosebud. Such a blossom is always blighted and withers much sooner than the bud which blooms naturally. Let the girl grow into womanhood before she assumes its obligations. The wife at seventeen is usually a middle-aged woman at twenty-five, while her sister who has remained single until that age is still in her lovely girlhood, and at thirty-five will be no older than the early married woman at twenty-five. The girl at twenty-five hard and cynical! The cynical ones at that age are the married women who have outlived their illusions and seen their idols decay. If by sheer luck the young wife has chosen a good'huslbnd, the wifely duties so early assumed will have aged her far more than if she had been prepared for them. But she is much less apt to get a good husband than her twenty-five-year-old sister. Usually he will be only a boy, with no more capacity to bear and for bear than she. Friction between them will be more frequent and neither will understand how either to t meet or avoid it. A pitifully large number of early marriages end in the divorce courts, while those who defer marriage until twenty-five or over are usually married for life. At twenty-five a woman doesn't accept her suitor because he has "lovely eyes" or a Grecian nose, but be cause he is a man of honor, of high principles and ideas, who will be a good husband and father. For corresponding reasons he loves her, and their love founded upon such a rock endures. To those who contemplate a season of I "roughing it" I would say that elaborate Faithful camping outfits and preparations defeat the very ends sougbt. If one camps out O ffice for pleasure, the pleasure may reasonably be supposed to consist in the differences W orker between camp life and living luxuriously Often at home. The joy of roughing it, to me, is in reducing life to its simplest terms and Passed By pitting human resources and ingenuity against primitive conditions. By A. RMslsm, New T lrk This is the camp equipment my "part ner" and I used to take in frequent expe ditions: A blanket and poncho for bed ding and shelter; for tools, a hand ax and a moderately heavy jack-knife. Weapons, a shotgun, with shells adapted to various kinds of game, and a small caliber rifle for "sportsmanlike" hunting of squirrels, and such b "small deer." Our larder contained salt pork, corn meal, sugar, beans and occasionally dried apricots. Two pipes and plenty of tobacco completed our outfit. For the delicacies of the table we depended upon what we could catch or kill and it was an unwritten law that we should not kill more than we could use from day to day, leaving the "big game" until we were about ready to return to town, when we could take that with us for gifts. To live well and comfortable we had to hunt close and work hard. Sometimes we built a shack that would house us against the roughest weather. These expeditions were achievements in that they brought our facili ties in triumphant conflict with elemental conditions and with few of the tools of civilization to aid. The indictment that college graduates do not make desirable farm help because of u t ttheir indolence and indifference to their S to work, brought by the New York 8tart Co lee department of agriculture, is not a fair one. College men who are lazy and indifferent M en about work on a farm would be lazy anad As indifferent about their work in any other vocation. If the New York department of . ~ agriculture has found lazy and incompe tent men among university graduates, it Iyjp.il.PsU.. should be charged against them as individ uahl--not: against the fact that they are college graduates. The employe on the farm who would play the mandolin or rest in the shade during the hours he should be at work, would watch the clock anad soldier on the job wherever he might be--even though it inight be in mahogany-furnished offices. Undoubtedly such men "cut" clauses when students and me a "pony" to assist them in their translations. They are simply 50-cent boys into which hopeful parents are trying to cram a $8,000 education. It isn't the fault of the education if it can't be done. The number of college men who are making a success of farming is much larger than the layman thinks. In fact, the awricltural districts of the richest portions of our country are filled with college men Hood River, Oregon, distinctly a fruit-growing community, has more Scollege men in proportion to the total number of inhabitants than any * other community in this country.
