SAYS YEAS Is LONG ENOUGH
TO PAY COURT.

Boston, Mass.-"Use your head dur
ing the courtship and keep your affec-
tons in allegiance. After the engage
ment you may begin to cultivate the
affections of the heart and soul, but
not before" said the Rev. Henry p.
White, S. j., of New York, in his Sec
ond talk to engaged coupled in old st.
Mary's church in the north end.
Then he proceeded with his advice,
saying that the courtship period
should not extend over year. "a year
is long enough to decide upon the suit
ability of a partner. When it runs over
it is an abuse and priest should be
consulted. He is an expert and knows
all about such things, for the Catholic
church has been marrying couples for
twenty centuries"
A suitable partner, as outlined by
Father White, "ls one who has suffi-
cient health and strength. One who
has any infectious disease is prohibit
ed marriage until he or she is cured
People of the same education and
position in life have the better chance
for ahppiness in marriage" said Fa-
their White, land they should be of the
same religion For Catholic to marry
out of his religion is fraught with mis-
cry and danger
Good principles and a serious dis
position are essentials in the life part
ner," the priest emphasized.
Don't marry a frivolous person." he
warned, "for nothing can be done with
such. Don't try to take a person you
have doubt about The future is doubt
full enough. Don't try to reform those
who have had habits. 1t is accom-
plished but rarely. Let them reform
themselves.
And now, having been businesslike
and prudent in the matter of selecting
a partner, these things are permitted
you" Father White told his hundreds
of hearers.
kissing is permitted after you be-
come engaged, just as you would kiss
your father or mother or sister or
brother. Don't be ashamed of it. DO
it in the open and not in the dark or
behind closed doors.
You may embrace each other. as
YOU would your relatives and friends
but hugging is not allowed Cultivate
the heart and soul during the engage
ment. Control your imagination; keel
yourselves pure and sweet and avoid
temptation by prayer and devotion and
frequent participation in the sacra-
ments of the church
Weekly confessions and daily com
munion are the direct antidote for the
temptations Of the engaged" Father
White ended
