LOVE LAUGHS AT YOUR
LOCKSMITH AND JAlLERS
Parents Should Not Refuse Their Sanction When Love Is FOun'
to Be True and Happiness at Stake.
BY ROSE B. LEE.

VI p EY, why. why will parents insist OF mating their daughters to
40 men not of the girls choice? The unhappness caused by such a
v ' marriage is often enough brought before the public to be a warning
IN scher,ing mothers who are anxious to have their daughters wed men Of
riches In the case Of Hubert Hunter and Edna Grace Dtze n we're ar
rested just before they were to be married on a warrant secured by tn
volne woman's father. it might be said that we ave rot heard thu other
patys story. But in nme cases u If ten the father wanted his 70
a sutton whose financial prospects were probably much better tmn
those of the man the young woman selected u she loved MI Hunter anu
all the arguments in the world will lot change Ter mind Cupld camot
be fought with when his dart has found it's resting place.
of curse, if the man of the young womans choice should be found un-
worthy of her then drastic measures are necessary but it is my belize nat
in this instance the favored bridegroom is the right man FOR the right girl
If parents see that their daughter is in love with a man Why not pursue tn
is worthy of their daughter, if he is able to provide for her, and whether they
really owe me another. Then. even il he is not the mar the parents wanted
because If his lack of riches let them make the best of the situation, and let
it be a happy union
Let the young couple start their wedding journey with all the bright
hopes imaginable. Give them a chance to begin housekeeping with all the
goo wishes If their friends and relatives and let 1t De a love mattel, pure
and simple. Love is the victor after all Even if the young woman succunbs
to her parents wishes and marres the man, who can boasto of riches, it very
seldom is a happy union. There arr o many trials and fluctuations which
young people have to endure that unless love is constantly at their side he
union is one which will bring much sorrow to them and to those nearea and
dearest to them.
Parents should know from experience that love is the mainstay of every
household. OF course. they will argu that when here is n o money to buy
bread and buuer love flies out of the window Probably it does, but We
take it for granted that when a young woman marrfes she will not be foolish
enough ito 90 into this union unless she and her lover have gone vr &C
counts and found it possible that they may buy the required subshnuas
which are necessary to build a home and be supremey happy
Another appeal to mothers S necessIy Why not be the companion of
Your daughters? why not ht them come to yu and eonhde their most in
most thoughts? If Miss Edna mad been made he companion and friend Of
her mother she would probably have married the man of her choice without
any trouble She would have been happy and 50 would her parents 1t is
the only course to pursue, dear mothers and the sooner you begin to cult
secrets should be you secrets, and never should yu betray their conf
ldenccs For as soon as eonhderce is misplaced, just 50 soon Will the daugh-
tors refuse to bring their secrets to yeu. So mothers do the right thing
four your daughters and be their companion and friend.
