GIRLS FUTURE
There is the girls own future
to be considered. What little
money they have left is trickling
away for expensive clothes, life
in fashionable hotels, expensive
beaches, to aid mama an her mat
rimonial schemes.
And the girl-not allowed to
finish high school because it
would make her seem too old-ls
worried about not being able to
get enough education to hold
down a decent job.
The letter mentions something
about the disapproval Of her
fathers family, who seem to be
comfortably off. It seems it
might be well, if Peggy would
throw herself on their generosity
and get them to help out with her
education.
This would give mama more
money for beauty parlorS, clothes,
etc., besides relieving her Of the
embarrassment of having "a great
soldier of a girl about the house"
as Peggy describes herself.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

what did you mean, in your
column, when you spoke of the
brides side of the church and the
groom'S side of the church?
"WONDERING."
The "groom'S side of the
church" is at the right of the
aisle down which the wedding
procession comes. Here, in sne
first pew, sit the groom'S mother
and father and perhaps his
brothers and sisters. The groom s
other relatives and friends sit in
the other pews at the right of the
aisle.
The reason that the right side
is the "groom's side" is that the
groom's mother and father are
the guests of honor at the we'd
ding so they sit at the right
Of their hosts, who are the brides
mother and father.
The brides side of the church"
is the left side of the aisle. In
the first pew on the left sits the
brides mother, who is later joined
by the brides father, after he has
presented the bride in marriage.
The brides other relatives and
friends sit in the other pews at
the left of the aisle.

She knows 1t Will not De loIlB
before her 10Th birthday dawns,
but that does not suit her Mama
at all. The girl tells me she has
been announced as Is for the last
four years, and that her mother
dresses her to look about IL.
"If this showing back of my age
continues, won't be surprised,
some day, to find myself in baby
carriage, with a nice pink rattle
in my hand, and sternly ordered
by Mama to gurgle and coo."
MOTHER LOOKS YOUNGER
After this summing up Of
Peggy's tribulationS, it is hardly
necessary to add that Mama is
a charming widow who will never
see 40 again. But due to the
beauty parlor and a dogged deter
mination to marry rich this
time" Mama actually looks
younger than her rebellious daugh-
ter.
The girl wants a real educa-
ton; to be taught something
which will help her to make a
good salary. She doesn't care II
she marries or not. She confides
that the atmosphere of romance,
in which Mama has lived ever
since she has been a widow. has
made her see decided advantages
in spinSterhood.
She hates Mama'S callers, who
are not as young as they once were
and are apt to have bulging figures.
These gentlemen often catch a
glimpse of Peggy, and like to pinch
her ear, but Mama sternly orders
"her little girl" away. And Peggy
Is only too glad to go, because she
has no interest whatever in these
callers.
LOST INTEREST IN LOVE
She asks me: What on earth
can a girl do under these crazy
circumstances? Her mothers
Stiffness, she writes, has driven
from her mind any trace Of falling
in love or marriage, for the time
being, at least.
She wants to get away some
where, act her own age, lead her
own life, have job, be sensible.
But none of these things can she
do till Mama is married and off
her hands.
The usual situation of mother
getting a daughter settled in a
home of her own is reversed here.
Peggy must get her mother settled
before she can have any real life
of her own.
Mama has had several rich
friends, whose intentions appeared
| to be matrimonial, but has lost
them all through what her daugh-
ter calls innate Stiffness"
VAIN ATTEMPT
And so the situation goes on
mama putting more and more
rouge on her cheeks every day i'll
vain attempt to outwit time, her
hair growing "redder than the
rose" and the girl chatting at
restrictions which life with mar
riageable mother impose.
Peggy begS me to save her from
the baby carriage and the rattle
which she thinks will be the next
development. Her letter is signed
