MATCHES AND
MATCHMAKERS
By VIRGINIA VAN DE WATER

The matchmaker rushes in where
angels fear to tread. And yet she is
no fool. And her lot is not an easy
one. She is suspected by the world
wise, tolerated by the young and unin-
itiated, and frequently ashamed of
herself. Still she exists and continues
to make matches
In one of the Gypsy Brenton books,
dear to the childish heart of quarter
century agone, the small boy says
that God made matches, but that He
used the burning birthstone from the
bad place to put on the tips" Later
well-known author makes her hero
inc remark: Matches may be made
in heaven, but they sometimes serve
to light the fires of-well--the other
place, very effectually." The fact that
the two characters mentioned referred
to different kinds of matches does not
alter the truth that may be drawn
from both remarks. This truth is ap-
plicable to the match with which we
have to do more than to the innocent
little wood and birthstone article of
commerce.

taste of that locality from which the
