The state board of health has issued a booklet under the title of “ Marriage and Engagement,” which while not pretending to be a compendium for the lovelorn, yet contains gems of wisdom that many a couple would do wellto heed. It bears the seal of the state and is circulated at tate expense. Its author is not revealed. Here are some excerpts from it *A young woman appears at her best in the presence of a man, especially if ske likes him. A man, especially a yourg one, appears at his worst in the preserce of a woman, particularly if he likes her. A woman should never marry a man to reform him. If she just must marry that kind of a man she should make him reform first and make him prove it, too. “Neither man nor woman should mar ry under 20 years of age. After that, the sooner the better. ingagements shouldn't be too long; they promote late hours and extravagant expenditures for clothes, gifts and enter tainments. “Engagements shouldn’t be too short; cs lead o unwise unions those sometim “A couple may safely wed if the man has an income of $50 or $60 a month ard he has saved up $2c0 or $300.

A young man who is thought to be wealthy is especially liable to be caught in this trap.” —Arizona Republican.

Don’t you think a girl foolish to marry a man who doesn’t know her?” “It’s the only way to get a husband sometimes.” —Louisville Courier-Journal. comicbooks.com
