gers In WOoing.


In the course of recent service
the Rev. William E. Heating, of ST
Patrick's church, made some sugges-
tions and gave advice 70 young wo.
men In regard to marriage that have
already made him famous, says a
brockton. Mass, dispatch.
Here Is his advice:
Women who could marry and don't
are often SO because they are too par.
ticular. They usually start off In life
by saying they will marry the man
they want or none. They usually get
none. There are no better people in
the world today than these same old
maids.
Mothers and fathers should know
wei the character Of the man who
Keeps company with their daughter
Courtship in the streets, doorways and
dark parlors l do not approve Of
Courtship protected by darkness Is
protected by the devil.
There are two extremes of court
ship; one too long and the other too
snort. The people of few hours ac-
quaintance do not know enough ~
each other. A courtship oflongstand-
ing Is bad for both. One year Is long
enough and two at the most are suA,-
cient
Short courtships are the things.
they help keep down the expenses. A
young man in love must have in long
courtships the best style of clothing
regularly bring around the bon-bons
purchase theater tickets, pay for ex-
cursions to the beaches. 1t is more
expensive than housekeeping. After
marriage this practice ceases. | never
could understand this.
As to the Widows.
i think widow has no right TO
set her cap for any young man until
all the young girls have been sunnIied
with husbands. Profiting by their first
experience, they practice wiles on a
man and thus draw a second prize NV
advice to the young man is to marry
the fresh young girl, who has NOT
worn the orange blossoms, in prefer
ence to the widow. Believe me. Won
VIII nave to be a most extraordinary
man to be as good as the first hus-
band
The married woman who refuses
TO bear children is unspeakable. Christ
ian motherhood is noble. The woman
VINO avoids motherhood is cursed bv
Nature. She is criminal before Cod
and man. She is the worst monster
on earth
1T is folly for a woman to think
she can change the habits of man
after marriage Scan the man we'll
VINO comes seeking you. Be careful
OF the man who is willing to promise
anything, only to gain your consent
TO lead You to the altar. Set stand
ard based on honor, virtue. temper-
ance' religion, love and strength of
character.
Make up your mind that the man
who is interested all the time in creas-
ing his trousers and having his hair
parted In the middle is worthless Do
not marry stingy man. Do not marry
a spendthrift.
Put no confidence in the man who
drops on his knees. looks up into your
race with smile and says: I'd die fer
you You don't want him to die. You
want him to live and work.
Avoid the lazy man. l have little
respect for the able-bodied man who
slts easily in chair while his mother
gets him glass of water or hunts IN
a newspaper for him. Such a man can
neglect to build fires when he is mar
RED If you marry such man YOU
have secured gold brick.
Watch the temper of the prospec-
1--WE bridegroom when he is off his
guard. See how he wrangies with the
conductor over a transfer. II he
abuses all others except you, depend
upon 1t that he will abuse you later,
1t is temper that makes hell out of
some homes. The man with a surlv
temper will beat your children, and if
you are not lucky, he will beat YOU.
Beware the Drunkard.
Shun the immoral man as Won
would deadly disease You can cure
disease, but for immortality there is no
cure. Don't marry the drunkard I
don't mean the man who takes an oc-
casional glass; mean the man who
drinks to get drunk.
