Hands Off! Let Your Children
Do Their OaUn Choosing

boy whose lives they are doing their
conscientious best to wreck are the
only possible judges of what they
want in husband wife.
For there is no other such myS-
terry as the mystery of love. Science
can measure the distance to the sun
and determine the course OF the stars,
but it cannot tell where ones fancy
will fall. Philosophy has formulated
codes OF ethics and systems OF re
ligion for man to live by and die
by, but it has not formulated any
theory by which he can be happy and
successful in love.
Experience has taught humanity
wisdom in everything except love.
Before that the sage and the fool, the
adept and the amateur, the debutante
and the valentudinarian stand upon
the same platform.
Nobody is capable of judging of
who is another's affinity, or with
whom he or she will be happy. We
do not know by what tests we make
selections ourselves. We only know
that out of all the world someone
who has not more beauty, more
worth, more charm, or more intelli-
gence than million others is the
only possible one for US.
We are swayed in our choice by
a double current of mental and physi-
cal attraction that draws us to some
particular one that sweeps us capric-
ously and helplessly away from one
man or woman to another.
This is why marriages that are ap-
parently incongruous so often turn
out we'll None of US would pick out
a dull husband for brilliant woman;
or a simple and ignorant wife for a
learned man, or gay little butterfly
for a preacher, or grave scientist
for a society belle, but these people
select each other for mates against
the protest OF their friends, and are
happy ever after, because each
answers to the other for some need
that no stranger could possibly know.
In matters of the affection love is
supreme, and a man or woman should
take counsel of nothing but his or
her own soul. Family and friends
have no right to dictate on the
subject.
Because girl does not fire mans
mothers fancy is no sign that he will
not love her forever and day. Be-
cause man does not cause a girls
fathers heart to go pit-a-pat is no
token that he will not thrill her as

By DOROTHY DIX.

A woman recently told me, with
tears of disappointment in her eyes,
that her daughter was going to marry
certain worthy but commonplace
young man, who did not come up to
the mothers ambitious aspirations for
her girl
Il can't see why Alice wants to
marry him, or what she sees in him, "
walled the mother.
OF course, you can't" | replied,
the only match that has ever taken
place since the world began that out
siders could account for was that Of
Adam and Eve, Every other match
has US guessing"
Nobody ever understood why any
one falls in love with any one else.
We don't know why we love the one
we do. No one on the outside feels
the attraction, physical and psychic,
that draws two people together, and,
this being the case, it is pretty good
indication that third parties have no
business intermeddling in love affairs,
or making or breaking marriages.
No one heeds the warning, how
ever. There probably isn't a single
individual living who doesn't consider
himself, or especially herself, perfectly
capable of picking out husbands and
wives for everybody in the commun-
ity. We all have secret feeling when
ever we hear of marriage that has
turned out badly that it is the result
of people following their inclinations
instead of having asked our advice.
Certainly there are no parents who
do not consider themselves perfectly
qualified to settle their chiidren's love
affairs.
Every mother in the land feels that
she could guarantee her sons happi-
ness by marrying him off to that nice,
domestic, pious Mary Smith next
door, who has a comfortable fortune
i'll her own right, and pug nose and
carroty hair.
Every fatier is sure that it would
be for his daughters welfare if he
could only induce her to look with
favor upon the sensible and substan-
tial widower around the corner, who
has good home and a good income
to offer her along with his embon-
point and fifty years.
The mother would, if she could,
break off the engagement between
her son and the pretty and gay and
impeeunious young girl whom he has
chosen for a wife. The father con-
siders that he is doing his duty in
keeping his daughter from throwing
herself away on youth who still
has his fortune to make.
An neither parent is troubled by
the slightest suspicion that the girl or

FUN AT THE FAIR
Likely that Lots will be Doing on that
Occasion in the Amuse-
ment Line

Mr.. Irving j. Polack, general man
ager of the Rutherford Greater Shows
which will furnish the joyland OF
amusement features for our coming
fair, spent yesterday in conference
with the management of the fair, and
met the executive committee at 7.:3O
p. M, at which time he made many
suggestions that will greatly add to
the interest and success of this our
ninth annual fair which bids fair to
be the largest and best that we have
eyer held.
Mr.. Polack is interested in his work
and in the success of the fairs with
which he eo-operates, far beyond the
interest taken by the ordinary show
manager. He says he is bringing us
eighteen shows, including the new
$4,000 Whip.
The progress of Chase City, Va,
where the show played before going
to Eastman, Ca, where they are now
located, says of the Rutherford shows:
AThe carnival shows are among the
largest and best on the road and have
been given liberal patronage since the
opening of the fair on Tuesday morn
ing. There are fifteen shows on the
fair grounds including the latest and
greatest of all amusement devices,
the $4,000 Whip and to the credit
of the local fair association it may be
said that Chase City is the first place
in the state of Virginia to exhibit this
wonderful device. Other attractions
are the motordrome, the merry-go-
round, the Ferris wheel and all the
other amusements usually offered at
fairs
