The following letter from him under

You ask my consent to your mar

enough to climb on my lap and whis-
per desire in my ear l have given
You everything you longed for. I see
my mistake. for now. when you ask
for something 1 should refuse, I know
that the power of refusal is beyond
me.
Il know that you SIX me as a mat
ter of form: that should I saw no YOU
will do as you have done for years;
laugh at my refusal. and then pro-
coed as IT pleases you.
This is my fault. I am not blam-
ing you, my child. have never
taught you to investigate. to reason
or to consider the consequences
When I knew your own way would
not be best for you I have weakly
let you have 1t. and then have thrust
myself between you and the punish
ment that came afterward.
In this case, l can not DO that
Have you thought Of that?
so l say In the beginning that
will give my consent to your marriage
with John if you insist. but | wonder
at your ignorance Cor bravery in
dreaming OF going away from your
home with a man you have known
less than six months. and then chiefly
through correspondence.
Some Doubts.
you know that he is good looking
is Of pleasing manners, generous to a
fault with his money, and that you
love him. You will marry him ana
go with him to a strange town, and
YOU do not know what his standing
in that town ls.
you do not know IL he is consid-
cred in his home town the kind Of
man a respectable girl cares to go
with; you do not know if he Is good
TO his mother: II his business pros
poets entltle him to assume the sup
port Of a wife.
You do not know what his habits
are. He may drink, gamble, loaf and
be addicted to the company Of those
who blaze the primrose path-A but of
this you know nothing. You are not
making as much effort to learn some
thing of the character of the man
who wants to be your partner for
life as your mother makes in finding
out about the maid whose stay VIII

Changed Times.

The times have changed. Your

low. is quite the fashion, but it Is not
the fashion we want our girl to fol-

We want YOU TO love. TO he loved,
and to marry. But we want, more
than this for you to marry so happily
you will stay married. We don't want
you to come back in a few months
with every hope, every faith in life
and love and mankind trailing in the
dust.

izing that if l refused it you would
marry without il. but | am going to
put II straight up to you To be sure in
your own heart that you want it,
ut is up to you! Shall ! order the
wedding cake as ordered the doll YOU
cried for when child or will you
make him prove his vorthiness first?
