prospect of matrimony, am. the ma
tures brides of 17 and IS were sup
posed to travel the road that a pood
and obdeient daughter should go. if
she did not care to be numbered as
the eccentric member of the family.
Spinsterhood In tho "good old days
wns Indeed something to be avoided,
and the parents of daughters early
married were enviably regarded and
sincerely congratulated on their good
fortune.
According to our present view,
mighty Is the change .egarding this
momentous subject. Common sense
has jee . happily vouchsafed to tho
modern pater, and to their girls they
are giving time to ucvelop mentally
and physically before these take up
on themselves the one.-jus duty of
managing husbands and the hazard
ous one of bringing children Into the
world.
School days with accompanying
pleasures of life are no longer short
ened and the pretty noddles are all
the better preserved from the dan
gers of the eternal question.
To lost pone the marriageable age
of women la a tendency so clearly
evidenced that perhaps there Is dan
ger of going to the other extreme;
sooner or later we may regard the
bride of 40 as rather a rash and gid
dy person to be In such haste to
change her condition cf life.
No sooner will this fact be estab
lished than we shall as Is customary
in ail edicts of fashion, again turn
wildly backward to tt youthful bride.
But how unsettled and Hying will
be the intermediate stage! For the
woman who considers marriage the
aim and end of her existence perhaps
it may be well to heed the advice of
a present day novelist who suggests
that

SENATOR J. P. KORAKKi
He began t Ho practice of the l.iw
In 1S69. For ten years he fought
for position at the bar and at tha
same time battled bin way into poll
tics. He was absolutely wltlu nt
other influence than that which l-o
gained for himself by exercise of tin
genius of industry und the ;'pur of
ambition.
After the warfare of ten y;-ars V r-
aker considered his po.-iit'on seen e
enough to stand for an elective of
fice. He was chosen .lude of t'e
Superior Court in 1S79. but h's
struggle for success had impaired his
health and three years Inter he wns
compelled to resign.
For pix years Senator Koralter
neither held nor Fought ofhee, und
then he again blazed out like n new
star In tho political firmament, this
time at the national capital und In
"the greatest deliberative body in
the world." Against fierce factional
opposition, he was. In .January, 189fl,
elected to succeed Calvin S. llrice.
who for six years had filled one of
tho chairs of the Democratic side f
the Senate Chamber, and took h'.a
seat March 4, 1897.
In the Senate Poraker nt once
forged to the front. He was not
abashed In that august presence. He
took its meusuro and decided that he
need hi neither a fresh 111:111, a ro
phomore, nor a Junior, but that he
vns fairly equipped to take his place
at once with the mighty seniors; and
It was laurels upon his brow that no
atter.ipt was mrde to give him that
ftupei cllloiis reception that l.u.i
humiliated and crushed so many :;c
.Senators when they yearn to sign.il
l:;e their early days by ambitions ef
forts to set the Thames afire.
It wns soon said of him that be
1 cd been choiien by destiny to lift
fh!o from the comparative oblivion
Into wh'ch It had fallen in the Na
tional Senato with the lamentable
deeadeiu-e and death of John Siif.
