Best Food
for LOUe
By MARTHA LEE

AS everyone knows, love thriyes
upon opposition. To tell a girl that
she must have nothing more to do
with any young Nnan Immediately
sends his stock soaring many
points. No matter how ordinary a
young man may be, he assumes a
romantic and dashing aspect as
soon as the pater familias issues the
command forbidding daughter to
see her beloved.
If parents intend to break up
any affair. they must be more than
subtle and extremely diplomatic.
There must be no evidence of their
interfering in their daughters af-
fair of the heart or else their effort
will be of no avail.
My advice to parents is to inter-
fere only as a last resort. Remem-
Der that most boy and girl attach
ments end abruptly with some
ridiculous quarrel. However, if the
young man and woman feel that
the parents caused the trouble be-
tween them, a reconciliation will
take place The daughter seeks So
lace from the young man and may
run away and marry him just be-
cause she feels that her parents
have misunderstood her
Let these affairs end themselves.
if possible, parents. Otherwise, you
are open to reproach from your
daughter for the remainder OF your
lives because she feels that you
killed a wonderful lover" or else
she is forced into marriage just to
prove she is capable of managing
her own life.
Dear Miss Lee: I want your advice.

that he would like to II he could get
something where he would not get his
hands dirty. Now We have given her a
nice home all her life and her father has
worked and got his hands dirty. We have
saved some money and bought property

have her over for dinner, and she will
come home all up in the air to get mar

one who can. support her. But what can
two persons do on SIS week? His family
tells her that We do not want her to have
a home of her own.
What should do?
A WORRIED MOTHER AND DAD.
Dear Worried Parents. Your OPP
posing your daughter in her affair
with this young man no doubt has
encouraged her to stick" to him.
His family wants him TO marry her
because they feel that you have
money, and she will be able to sup
port him.
You are right in your assertion
that the amount he makes is insult
flcent to support himself and OF
course. impossible to meet the eX-
penses of a wife. Explain to your
daughter that no young man has
any character at all if he marries
a girl knowing that he can not
make enough to pay The bills.
Of course, how the young man
makes his living is his own affair.
Your husband did not mind doing
work that would soil his hands. but
you know that everyone is entitled
to his own ideas about this. You
have no reason to criticise this boy
on that score. Tell him if he has
those ideas he ought to prove that
they are worth While by working
hard, sticking to one job and by
managing to get out of debt. Tell
him if he can do those things you
will not object to his marrying your
daughter. Be frank with these two
young persons and perhaps they
will agree to wait until he has
proven he is right.
Dear Miss Lee: I am alone in the world

derful fiance and I could hardly expect
them to answer these questions I am to

How soon after the ceremony should the
announcement cards be sent?
Dear Forest Hall: A June we'd
ding out doors is beautiful. I sug-
gest that you wear a large picture
hat either in the same shade as
your frock or else in a blending
shade. Large hats are to be very
smart this summer so you will have
many occasions to wear it. Gloves
are not necessary.
Since the wedding is to be in the
early morning. you may have a
wedding breakfast served. 1t will
give you and opportunity to have
a quiet farewell with the two fami-
lies before you leave on your we'd
ding trip and, it also makes the
wedding seem more complete than
if you just left Immediately. You
and your husband may slip away
