OF course, the architects that arrange
modern flats don't take love making
into account. They crowd the little

reason why there's less marrying In
cities than there is in the country and
small town.
The moral of all of which is that If
you want your girls TO marry you must
give them a chance. You must help

A Puzzle.

| know a beautiful and charming
young girl who is much admired by men,
who are much puzzled as to why she
never invites them to call upon her at
her home. though she evidently en-
joys their society elsewhere, and who
wonder why, when they suggest coming
to see her. that she always makes some
excuse to prevent their doing So The
real reason is because her family con.
siders every beau that she has as their
game. Only let man come to see her
and they make merry over his every
popularity. They Initiate his walk and
his mannerism and turn him into such a
figure Of fun that it has made the girl
have a perfect horror of having a man
come to see her and thus Offering him
up as fresh victim
The family think all Of this a merry
Jest, but about ten years from now,
when Sadie's beauty begins to fade
and they realize that she is still hang
ing on the parent bough, the fact that
they kept her from marrying by making
her afraid to have a man come to see
her, won't seem so funny But that's
Just what they re doing Family crit

maiden's budding fancy is the most del
icate and sensitive thing in the world,
and it can be blighted almost by
breath. Heaven knows why, but a Ger
| tain poetry and romance must surround
a man before a girl can fall in love with
him, and if you tear this away from
him there is nothing doing in the senti-
ment line for her.
I once asked a particularly charming
old maid why she had never married,
and she said that the reason was that

Many Ways.

This can be done in many ways; by
letting a girl go to places where she
will meet eligible men. by giving her
the best clothes that can be afforded,
because her youth is the sunshine in
which a girl must make her matrimo-
NAL hay, and chiefly by making the
home such a pleasant place that men
will like TO come to II.
Yet there are mothers and fathers who
make every young man who comes to
the house feel as if he was an interloper
or a burglar, with the very natural con-
sequences that no youth has the cour-
age to encounter such an inhospltable
reception a second time, and all the
men in the community flock around
some girl whose parents give them the
glad hand. Believe me, mother and
father have just as much to do with
making Mamie and Sadie a belle as the
girls own attractions have.
Another reason why so many girls
are old maids is because their parents
haven't enough sense to get out OF the
way and give a man a chance to make
love. How can a fellow have the nerve
to make love to a girl when father is
sitting by the drop light. not six feet
away, reading the evening paper. and
mother and Aunt Jane are gossipinl
whiting earshot, and little brother is
listening behind the portiere? And how
can a girl play up her little arts and
articles with the family looking on,
ready to guy her about ii as soon as the
front door closes behind the man?

Dorothy Dix's article On
Helping Along the
9 Game 3

when she was a girl every time any
man came counting her her family
would make fun of him. They would
point out that he had a nose like beak,
or jaw like bulldog, or that he wad-
died when he walked. or that he sput-
tered when he talked, and. having been
made to see him in this absurd light,
she could never again behold him as the
hero of her dream. The result was
that she kept waiting for the one per
feet man, beyond family criticism, to
come along. and as he never did, she
drifted helplessly into spinsterhood.
Another reason why girls don't marry
is because they have the misfortune to
have parents who are hindrances in
stead of helps. Before you can pull off
a success at anything you've got to have
a good chance to do It, and this is as
true of marimony as Of business. \
girl can't marry unless she has the OPP
portunity and 1t is up to her parents to
provide that opportunity

payment of his bill. Yet the girl cash
| Ter seemed to be surprised that such a
ragged youth should own so large a
sum.
"AH silver, please" said Philip, when
she began to count his change.
He would take no more risks if he
, could avoid them. Not single police
man in London would have failed to ar
rest him at that moment We're his store
of gold revealed by any chance. Yet
Philip was rich honestly, and there
were men driving away from the city
at that hour whose banking accounts
were plethOric with stolen money. For
their carriages the policemen would stop
traffic In neither instance could the
guardians of the peace be held blame
worthy; such is the Importance Of mere
appearances.
The boy, during his short and terribly
sharp tussle with London life, had al
ready grasped this essential fact, and
with great skill and method he set about
the task of altering his own shabby
exterior.
In side street leading out Of Gray's
Inn road he found a second hand clothes
shop, Here he purchased a worn, but
decent, blue serge suit for shillings
s pence, a pair of shoes for shillings,
cap for pence, wooden shirt for 2
shillings and a linen collar for 3 pence.
He haggled sufficiently over the bar
gain to suit the needs of a sCanty
purse.

By DOROTHY DIX

a GREAT many parents wonder
~ why their daughters do not mar
- ry. They see other girls, not half
so pretty nor attractive as their own,
settling themselves comfortably in life
with husbands and homes. while their
own daughters are headed for the Spin.
sters' Retreat, and they puzzle their
brains why this is thus and why one
maiden is called to the altar and an.
other left.
And it never occurs to them that they
themselves are their daughters matri-
monial hoodoo. They don't intend to
be. Good gracious, no. Far from it,
They are convinced that matrimony is
the predestined career for woman. and
that the wedding bell is about the surest
dinner bell that ever rings for a girl
If you would accuse them Of trying to
insure their NAMES and Sadies being
old maids, they would Indignantly deny
the charge. Yet such is the case. They
block the love game at every turn in
stead of pushing it along,
Take the case, for instance, in which
the family constitutes itself a commit
tee of criticism that sits in judgment
upon every young man that comes to
the house and tears him limb from
limb. Is any youth going to subject
himself to that ordeal if he knows it?
Is any girl going to stand for having
her men friends vivisected if she can
help it?
Not much. We are all human and
we've all got faults and foibles. but we
don't care to have them discussed and
ridiculed, nor do we enjoy having our
friends made the target for the near
wit Of even our own family.

in Don Quixote, where that immortal
