Courtship in the streets, doorways and
dark parlors | 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
short. The people of few hours
acquaintance do not know enough OF
each other. A courtship of long stand
ing is bad for both. One year is long
enough and two at the most are sufti-
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 theatre 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.
81 think a widow has no right TO
set her cap for any young man until
all the young girls have been supplied
with husbands. Profting by their first
experience, they practice wiles on
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 pre-
ference to the widow. Believe me,
YOU will have to be most eXtraor-
binary man to be as good as the first
husband
"The married woman who refuses
to bear children is unspeakable.
Christian motherhood is noble. The
woman who avoids motherhood IS
cursed before God and man. She is
the worst monster on earth.
at is folly for a woman to THINK
she can change the habits of a man
after marriage. Scan the man well
who 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 IF
character.
make up your mind that the man
who is interested all the time in
creasing his trousers and having his
hair parted in the middle is worthless.

Widows Should Keep More In
Background

Brockton Mass, May 14.-In the
course of a recent service the Rev.
William E. Heating, of St. Patricks
church, made some suggestions and
gave advice to young women in re-
gard to marriage that have already
made him famous.
Here is his advice:
Women who could marry and don't

tlcular They usually start off in life
ny saying they will marry the man

get none. There are no better people
III lhe world today than these same

marry a spendthrift.
put no confidence in the man who
drops on his knees, looks up INTO yo--
face and says with a smile, I'd die
for you You don't want him to die.
You want him to live and work.
avoid the lazy man. | have little
respect for the able-bodied man who
sits easily in a chair while his mother
gets him glass of water or hunts up
a newspaper for him. Such a man can
neglect to build fires when he is mar
ried. If you marry such a man you
have secured gold brick.
Watch the temper of the prospect

guard. See how he wrangles with the
conductor over the transfer. If he
abuses all others except you, depend
upon it that he will abuse you later
1t is temper that makes hell out of
some homes. The man with a surly
temper will beat your children and, If
you are not lucky, he will beat you.
Beware The Drunkard.

no cure. Don't marry the drunkard
