THE MARRIAGE
ABLE DAUGHTER.

Women who are anxious that their
daughters should marry should remem-
Der that propinquity is all important
Bold knights do not come riding out
of the forest to WOO maidens in lonely
castles nowadays. says the New York
Tribune, and girls that are hedged in
by all sorts of restrictions generally
remain hedged in permanently, for
there are no fairy princes to break
through the barriers to seek unseen
princesses in these modern times. A
family consisting of several daughters
who made their debuts one after the
other at their Fifth avenue home in
the winter and entertained in stately
fashion at their North river country
house in the summer without any
change in the even tenor of their lives
were last year taken in hand by an
energetic aunt who had a villa in the
center of a lively watering place and
a tiny box in Mayfair, where she kept
open house in the most hospitabe and
easy-going fashion. She took her
nieces one by one, the consequences be-
ing that up to the present two are en-
gagged and the third is very near 1t,
according to appearances.
Then there is the marrying set and

On their way to the ribbon counter,

of candy with which to fortify them

In their opinion candy was never made
