THE PRIESTS
LECTURE ON
SPARKLING

Lathrobe. Pa, Dec. l5.-The Rev. Father
Angelo Rauber, attending the retreat at
St. Xavier's academy, lectured the alum
nae and graduates on courtship, laying
down hard and fast rules as follows:
"Courtshp is as serious a proposition
as the responsibilities OF marriage II
should not continue longer than seven or
eight months. II is the duty OF mothers
70 ascertain the intentions Of young
men"
Father Angelo said the girl OF today
has so much freedom that there is con-
stant danger for her. He does not ap-
prove OF the family deserting the parlor
when the young man calls. nor does he
permit OF dark corners OF dim parlors.
The hours for calling should be from
$50 10 1890. and with no additional half
hours to say goodbye. He does not be-
heve that the young people should sit
close on the sofa so engrossed In their
happiness that they forget the flight OF
time
