MATERNAL MATCHMAKING.
The Mother and the Lover Who Is
Wooing Her Daughter.

1t is always an open question as to
whether mothers should select hus-
bands for their daughters. OF course
there is lot to say on both sides. So
far as the mother is concerned, 1t is IN
deniable that really she is in the better
position to judge the qualities of
young man than the daughter. The
mother looks at the lover with un-
biased views Hers is no great ro-
mantle love dream Her time for that
has long gone by. and today she stands
as a guardian to her daughter. watch
ing her interests and always wary of
undesirable suitors. She herself has
benefited by the experience Of her ro-
mantle period and it is to the better
ment of her daughter that she has
made up her mind TO step between her
and any sutton who appears TO her I'M
satisfactory. or course the daughter
has her own views on the subject. but
undoubtedly if for one moment she
We're to sit down to analyze her feel
inEs il would not take her long TO come
to the conclusion that she had forgot
ten everything for love. What does
she care whether he has money or
what faults he may have? She likes
his appearance. his conduct seems per-
fect-in fact she is desperately in love.
And with a Girl in this condition all
arguments are futile.
Then ii is the duty of the mother TO
step in with tactful diplomacy. 1t is
not necessary for the mother TO rush
in and say, Il forbid YOU marrying
This man" or course any girl with
spirit would Immediately make up her
mind that. even if they had to live on
nothing. she would marry the man of
her choice Many girls have rushed
into hasty and regreuable marriages
simply on account of this treatment.
\ Hother should talk quietly to her
daughter in love, argue points for and
against quietly, hut deciSively.
Then perhaps YOUR daughters eyes
will be open 10 the truth. The feeling
Of rushing anywhere with her lover
will give place 10 the more sober idea
that there are other ingredients in the
structure Of marriage besides love.
Perhaps the greatest mistake
mother makes is trying to impress
these facts upon daughter just at the
wrong moment This Intrusion is al
ways resented Wait until that soul
absorbing idea Of love has cooled
down. Then speak to her calmly.
Common sense will very probably pre-
vail. and the result will be happiness,

Hot Water a Beautifier

We are not all beautiful-that is. we
