Bayley, deputy mayor of Georgetown, the coun- try's capital. Here on a visit in connection with International Co-operation Year, Mrs. Bayley told an inter-; viewer Wednesday she herself was married at 16. She said some doctors con- sider that women in the tropics mature more quickly. Conse- quently, it seemed "a bit un- fair" for the United Nations to try and establish 15 as the legal age for marriage. But Mrs, Bayley feels, never- theless, early marriage cuts off the fun of adolescence too soon especially in "such a fun-loving country" as hers. The deputy mayor said women can be found in every walk of life in British Guiana and are increasingly in the fore- . front. Women were particularly * prominent in music and art.

My husband said we both had to quit smoking right then and there, He hasn't touched a cigarette since, I went back to smoking that same night. I don't smoke when little Ear! is in the room and it's awfully hard on me, My husband doesn't know I smoke so I make excuses to go to the basement or out in the garage whenever I want a cigarette. Sneaking around is making me nervous, Do you think it would be wrong if we let a nice couple adopt little Earl--a nice couple whe don't smoke? Then I could smoke in the open and my hus- band: could take it up again, | caring for eight children, Unlike the wives of other party leaders she doesn't rule out the possibility of some day seeking office.
