WAITED 59 YEARS TO WED

Bride Says No Woman Can Pick Good Husband Before She Is Fifty. Sunbury, Pa.—Philip Graham, sev-enty-two years old, a widower of Epsy and Miss Martha Powlus, fifty-nine years old, of Bloomsburg, were married, here last week. Mrs. Graham told friends: *1 had many chances to get married in my time, but I refused all my suitors, because it is my belief that no woman possibly can pick a husband she will be happy with the rest of her life before she is fifty. “I am proud that I was an old maid, because I will live happily with my husband.”
