Work and Marriage.

In the New York courts recently a girl, aged 17, on being told by bet mother that she was old enough to go to work, replied: “Work, I will not; I prefer to marry.” Whereupon she was married before night to a young man earning $8 per week. This is of a piece with the reasoning of another girl who, being Interrogated by a friend, “Where are you working now, Mamie?” answered promptly, “I ain’t working; I’m married.”—Boston Herald.
