If the truth We're only known. there tre
very few mothers or fathers who have
cheerfully consented to their chi,dren's
marrying. barring age entirely. 1t is ma
ternal and paternal instinct which gives
the parents such a feeling abont their
children being ''taken from them" as
they term it. Although unpleasant from
every point of view, it is something
which cannot be rectifed, something
which times and years will not change.
When a person reaches the age of 20 or
thereabouts. marriage lis very often the

any bnt white garters. on her wedding
day win have an unhappy ending.
The girl who wears her garters below
the knee will early lose her beauty.
To put on the left garter before the
right on dressing in the morning will
bring bad luck all day. s.
Geld garter buckles are lucky and sill
yer ones the reverse.
