LAND OF LONG COURTSHIPS
In Country Districts Of Holland the
Young Couple Think Nothing Of
Waiting Three Years.

There is a story told in Holland that
one evening in the catechumen's class
an amorous youth was called upon
to answer the first question in the
Heidelberg catechism: "What is thine
only comfort in life and deathT To
which the young man replied: ITO
marry Geertie de KOning and to have
a farm of my own" A curious feature
In the evolution of a Dutch courtship
is that it begins at church. Eyes
meet eyes there. A visit is then paid
by the young man to the home of the
esteemed beauty. Papa" Is APP
preached as to whether the visitor may
speak, privately, TO the daughter, and,
If no objection is offered, both par
ents are called in to ascertain the is
sue of the conference. If both parties
are agreed TO open courtship, 1t begins
that night in cOffee-drinking and So
cial enjoyment and then the court
ship lasts for at least three years, dur
ing which period of time the Dutch
maiden will attend to the dairy work
Of the farm, baking, mendlng, and
cooking. The young man will have
amassed enough guilders to invest in
farm, and then the clergyman is
called in, and the neighbors revel for
many days, celebrating the event in
true, generous. hOspitable fashion.
Needless to say, this order of nuptlal-
tying does not apply to cities.
