she arrives at that age, and does not
leave the home roof or show any In

exceedingly careful not to give the
impression that they wish her mar

and daughters Is something in which
parents have no rights or privileges.
However, should daughter give her
heart to young man of whom the
family knows little, 1t becomes the
duty of the father to make a thor

him to be of immoral character, he
should confide his discovery to his
daughter.
Arranging Marriage Never Duty.
"The girl who has been reared in
an atmosphere Of love, obedience and
respect for her parents will prove
herself the dutiful daughter and will
give up the undesirable young man.
She will listen to her parents in re-
gard to- her marriage as she has list
ened to them during all her life in re-
gard to her minor AFFAIRS. While 1t Is
the duty of parents to prevent the
marriage Of their children in such ex-
IRENE cases, 1t is never their duty or
privilege to arrange marriages for
them. The mother who has her
daughters confidence will never need
to find husband for her. That kind
of a girl is sought for by the right
kind of man and need not look for
husband"

EazgYS of them owns she has
= n hoped from the first mo-
ment of her child's existence that
somewhere sweet tempered little
fellow Of good parentage and some
means was being reared to be ct
companion for the little daughter Just
born to her.
Mrs. Charles H. Conover says nice
girls will marry only nice men. "The
girls who are brought up in the right
way need no interference in regard
to their matrimonial ventures" says
Mrs. Cohover. There is no necessity
for parents interesting themselves in
the character or financial standing Of
young men who simply call upon their
daughters. Such a proceeding as in
vestigating on. the part of parents
would be entirely too premature.
"A father need not assume that
every young man is interested to the
point Of matrimony, and unless he
sees that matters are reaching q
crisis, he should let the young people
alone. When, however. he finds mat
irimony impending. he should satisfy
himself that all Is well and II char
acter is found to be moral, personal
objections should not stand In the way
Of his daughters happiness. The chill

parents. heartily disapprove of
matchmaking"
Parents Should Watch Associates.
Mrs. Alice Bradford Wiles thinks
parents should guide the associations
of their children. Parents need not
be matchmakers to order the pathway
of their sons and daughters" she
says. '.The first duty of a parent Is
to exercise all possible care with re-
gard to the associates of their, chill
dren from infancy. They should put
desirable companions within reach
and should encourage eligible young
people. In this way their children
will make no undesirable acquaint-
ances. II they have always had the
