ddence between husband and wife, and
as my children were some of them If
teen and sixteen years old, began to
give them little lectures upon marriage
and home life. The fountain of hap
piness lies In the spirit of the home.
Every time that t7go people who live
together are not of the same opinion
or of the same taste, a concession on
the part Of the one or the other is
necessary or trouble will follow.
In conjugal parlance, concession is
the name Of peace. Il should extend to
the talk of the home, the acts and the
everyday living All these things
pointed out. And in speaking of mar
riages-for the children began to have
sweethearts and Iovers-I pointed out
the wrecks of life made by too early
marriages.
I told. with tears In my eyes. Of my
own sorrow that had married against
my fathers wish at seventeen.
Her Daughter Eloped.
I hoped that these little heart-to-
heart talks would help my dear ones TO
steer clear Of the rocks.
What, then. was the shock TO me when
my precious daughter Hazel eloped two
years ago and was married to Roy Her
rera by Justice of the Peace Macs, OF
No. 4 Oakland avenue, Jersey City. She
was sixteen and her husband was not

Marriage Too Hasty

The crime of careless marrying is not
confined to New Jersey. In one town
near Chicago the record of marriages
for last year showed that 100 couples
had come there from another State and
had been married durirzS the stay of ex-
ours on parties at the port. How many
of these hasty marriages do you suppose
were happy?
Hasty and untimely marriages are the
fOrerunners Of divorce The home is
the foundation Of human society. Mar
rage is the basis of the home. And
the habit OF divorce into which the
people of this countr,- have fallen is the
direct result of unwise marriages. Those
people who are agitatlng against divorce
should take up the subject of marriage.
I would suggest a course of study for
young girls in school and out of school.
which. if they have not taken they
cannot be married. This course would
enIighten them upon the duties OF wife
hood. Of motherhood, and the meaning
Of arriage-things that are not under
stood by one-half Of the young women
who annually become wives.
A great many people are crying for
more freedom in our daily life. 1t is not
more freedom we need. It is more and
better laws, and living up TO them on
the part of the people
Napoleon cried out that what France
needed was more mothers. France did
not hear the cry. To-day France is dy-
ing because of the lack of mothers, of
homes and Of homeIy virtues. And 1
want to make 1t plain that hasty and
early marriages do not ordinarily make
happy homes.

The Age to Marry

They do not beget children who grow
up 20 be a credit to their parents Ny
own family is an exception to the rule,
but it only proves the rule.
Tie family that makes the nation
strong is the family founded upon
mature love. conceived in temperance.
and horne in the peace of a happy
home To have such a happy home il
is necessary that our young people
wait as a rule, till they are Of age.
The boys should be twenty-one. and the
/ girls at least eighteen.
1 hope that the United States Govern
ment will make a uniform marriage law
/ as the upshot of the Mormon investiga-
ton. and that 1t will be difficult for
! young people who ought not TO be mar
ried to be welded, and at the same time
not impossible for those who ought to
be married to be.
/ I do not forget all the unwritten and
unspoken things which ought TO be con-
sidered in framing marriage laws. But
do wish that the laws could be made
more exacting in some way. In my
own case the elopments of our children
have only brought me sorrow. because
OF their unwisdom. All but one Of them
are living happily with their mates.
And that one never was married in any
thing save form. and is now free.
There is one mystery that I have
never oeen able to fathom. And that is.
what is the influence that makes young
people prefer 70 elope and be married
secretly rather than openly in their
/ own homes. I think perhaps, in the
| case OF my children. the example Of
their mother may have influenced them.
| Therefore, do not set unwiss examples.

- HE laws which allow justices and
ministers to indiscriminately
marry young people in New
York and New Jersey are re-
sponsible for much of the IN
happiness in married life. and for most
Of that great evil we call the Divorce
Peril.
The home is the safeguard Of the
State, and the foundation Of the hearth
stone is marriage. Therefore, marriage
should not be lightly entered upon.
Sometimes / think chat the transgres-
sions of the parents really descend to
the children in a more certain degree
than we realize. When was seventeen
years old I unwisely listened to the en-
treaties Of my lover and left home
against the wish of my father. 1 eloped
and was married. To my unutterable
sorrow. after my children had grown up,
three of them followed my example and
eloped.

It seems a long. long time ago that

Advice to Children.

My husband did everything to make
the home pleasant. Then came two
more little ones, Percy and Mildred, who
were benedictions from heaven upon
my second marriage
/ had nearly forgotten the transgres-
sion of my youth in marrying against
my fathers wish. 1 had forgotten that
it might rise up and confront me in my
children. Had the laws of New Jersey
and New York been more stringent it
would have been impossible.
1 used to gather the young people Of
my home about me and give them long
talks upon the duties and responsible
ties Of life.

the home depends upon perfect con-

Then Her Son Welded.

He was seventeen years old last Oc-
tober. and on the seventeenth of that
month he took his sweetheart, Miss
Lillian Martin, seventeen years old, g
SO Henry street, 20 Justice Macs in Jer-
sey City. They gave her age as
eighteen and his age as twenty-one, and
his residence as Storm avenue, Jersey
City. They were married.
When 1 heard OF it I was i'll in bed
for weeks. had not objected to Miss
Martin. She is a sweet and lovely girl
would have had them married at
home, though, If I had known they
were going to be. And 1 could have
wished them to wait till they were
each twenty years old, but would not
have insisted.
They are living happily together at
the home Of the bride IN Carnarsie. and
will, l doubt not, soon make a home
for themselves.
Again I recovered from the shock of
this elopement and began 10 think Sc

But. nevertheless, I wish that they
had not found it so easy to be married
by stealth. 1 would ask all mothers and
fathers to talk openly and not over

bound to be married they may do so at
home and in the right way, but begging
them not to wed too young

Der of women students is increasing,
while the number of men is diminish

thus sounded may be little more en-

The Influence OF q Book.
How many men have been ruined for
time and eternity by the influence of
one bad book, Am l describing the
experience of any OF you when imag-
Inc scene of demoniac siege and con-
quest! For many years Satan was
trying to batter down the doors OF
your fathers Christian home Again
and again he had charged upon that
carefully guarded stronghold to cap
ture your heart. but again and again
he had failed. Satan would come up
to that front door and he would hear
the family singing at evening and
morning prayers. and he could not get
In. He tried TO entice you away from
I : straight path OF virtue. but your
Christian parents had surrounded you
with so many piOus influences that it
was almost an impossibility to break
them down.
At last Satan became completely dis
couraged. He called council OF war
of all his fiends TO plan for your de-
structiOn. Plot after plot was gone
over and pushed aside as useless But
just as the Satanic demons were about
TO scatter I'm utter dismay an arch fiend
spoke up and said: Let me try n flank
movement OH that home. Instead OF
sending any more of our stalwart ennis
saries Of flesh and blood to that Chris,
