WOMAN'S ...MOST ATTRACTIVE AGE.

tW^ consideration the fact that more women are married between than at any other period of their lives it certainly appears that it is at such a tune that females reach the zenith of f 18™' S»ch an assumption, ir?n% ri ? by n? Means so correct ac n.any readers might at first suppose. * * -these early marriages are pasilv accounted for by the factihat Ihe mfnj of t^nt fage younß man at the aRe ot twenty-two or twenty-three li^htTv turns, to thoughts of love, and hem™- ™ fir' '°r' Perh«PS> younger but V^JtiS. m likely t0 mak-h™ At the age of twenty-two or twentvthree the majority of women 'are uncxubtedly more attractive as reUds personal beauty than at any other time of their lives. But while they have t j at buoyancy of youth which captivates and-makes men so susceptiSe to their charms for the time being Vet a deeper study of their powers of falcination will quickly show that their attractiveness is very shallow as compared with thatof an older woman A pretty face constitutes only one of the characteristics which go toward making a woman attractive, and it £ absurd to suppose that her charms decrease as time adds a few wrinkles to her face.
