Mary and John When it Comes to Heart Affairs, for Parents Frequently Have to Pay Dearly One of the problems that doubtlessly originated when Cain and Abel

ﬁrst went a-coiutiitg is how much right, parents have to titterfere 1n their ﬂiiclrctrs love affairs and pick out their nlutcs for theni_

Fathers and mothers hutc always- be- lieved that they had a right to ri-gintent their sons’ and daughters‘ hearts ntttl direct their affections in the proper channels while the children have contended that as they were the ones who had to "live \\;th thitse they married, it was their privilege to please their own taste and not their paieitts’. And so the battle has raged on from kcncrutzon to generation, and is still going strongly

ulllOfllllltllkly, the qncstlozi (‘ﬁll itevcr be settled because there is so nun-h to be smd on both sides of it, and one aiiitzitnicttt. set-nus _ about as convincing its the other. Certain y

~ " parents speak no ice-s than the truth ivhen they tell their children that it takes more than a tiassittg gust of tiassloil. or il illlli'_\ tor a pretty face, or a bit of hero w-orshtp tor u grtiltron stai- to m nae a ltappy marriage; that romance does not last and that only _ s stand llte wear and tear of life that are built itpon the solid ton: union oi" common sense and reason and the ability to stipply a, fam- 1l_\ with three square meals a day.

Parents are also justified in trying to keep their adolescent children from ccinnnttitg hart kart by itmking premature marriages before they are old vsnoir. it to know what they :u"e going to be ihentseltcs when they grow up. mitt-ii loss what they are going to want regarding :1 husband or wife. And it is their bounden duty to move Iieavcn and earth to keep Mary from wrecking her fitc by ntarrgying a drunkard or John from tying a, nnllstone around his neck by picking out some little ﬁibbertigibbet without heart or brains for a wife.

It t..- folly to contend that parents have no right to any say-so in their chtldrettls marriages, because not only are a father's and mother's hatvpi t ~ss wrapped tip in their children and they are made miserable it Jol ' d .\l.ny arc unhappy, but when their childictfs titarriages turn out [all s they must pay the price of their children's mistake. You can't let youi- adored son or daughter starve, so when jobless Tom brings home his pennilcss bride there is nothing that Father and Mother can do but utipport them. Likewise, when Sally loses her taste for her husband and divorces him and comes back home with her offspring, Father and Mother uri- bound to take her in and divide their income with her, no matter how DIEJ ‘Vi’ it 1S. _

We all know dozens of men and women who are the real victims oi their children's divorces. Tom and Sally can't get. along with their wife o; - t rand. so they part and dump down their children as a matter of ct e on their parents. Mother is turned into a nurse-maid. Father Itztr- to keep on working after he had planned to retire and take life easy. The quiet house is turned into bedlam by noisy youngsters. The income that V5.15 comfort for two means pinching economies when it has to be sprain over the (iieLs apd doctors’ bills and education of children,

That is one side of the question. But, say the children, our parents give no inspiring example of oonnubial bliss themselves, so what guar- untec itave we that they would be more successful in picking out our hus- bands and wires for us than they were in pickng out their own? Be- ctdes, husbands and wives are purely a. matter of taste. 1t doesn't really matter what you gct 11st so it is the thing that suits you, and our likes no more Jibe with our parents’ in people than they do in food and the movies.

The very quality that appeals to us in a boy or girl may be anathema lo our parents. Every mother would pick out. for her son a nICB, quit?!’- domestic girl who is kind to her old mother, who would never waste his znoney on frivolous gewgaws, or want to step out anywhere except, to prayer mcetiitg, but that kind of a wife would bore the son to tears. He wants as a lile companion a woman who is pretty and gay, and on her

tlptoes and who would keep him always interested and excited.

Every father vtouid select for his daughter's husband a middle-aged. settled man with a bav window and a blgbank account, when wimt the

irl wanted was somebody to give her a. thrill, not pay her bills. And the etiittg is ten to nothing that after she got tired of yavtmntg in the face oi a .\llllI0(I shirt. she would buy a ticket to Reno.

So there you are, and just. how far parents are justified in making and brcalzing their chldren‘s matches, nobody knows.

It takes a woman to break a self- nrziie man. ' ' Nothing pleases a ﬂapper more titan a call to arms.

The modern gold-digger is a girl with a. do-all personality. Honesty‘ is the best policy-

es1:vcially' when you're being watch- ed.

The biggest fool is an old fool

because he has more time to ,' pritctce. t It's often the case that love at

lfirst sight doesn't stirvive a second 1 look. Home is not home

as long as

some birds look upon it merely as

n rnmiing lllilCi‘.

The wild life in the big open spaces may need preserving, but in l-hc city it needs tamimg.

The wife who keeps her husband in hot. water all the time could not complain if he becomes hard boiled.

Going to church doesn't neces- sarily make a man good any more than going to a garage makes him an automobile.

One of the most attractive and useful jewellery innovations is the double clip-brooch. These brooches are so designed that the halves can be worn separately on occasions when something discreet and not too conspicuous is needed. When worn together they make a more gorgeous display suitable for even- ing wear or more formal occasions.

would drag the information from her, and would rush out to buy her a diamond ring, or a gold cigarette case or something of that , kind, and present it with frantic ‘ excuses and apologies.

And Marcia could never make him understand that it wasn't the present, but the remembering that mattered. The fourteenth of Sep- tember wasn't their wedding day. And it wasn't a bit the same thing giving her a present on the four- teenth wthen it should have been the tenth just because she'd had to remind him of it. '

And there he was, brushing his hair in front of the mirror, and

‘whistling to himself. He didn't care. She hated his sleek head, and his broad back harnessed with

the blue silk braces. He just didn't care. He‘ couldn't care if he couldn't remember the day on

which he had married her. And she'd brought him the most lovely present. It had cost pounds. And she'd bought a four guinea frock t instead of a ten guinea one in , order to buy lt. | “Shank be in to dinner lto-night. I darling," he observed as he selected a tie. "Got to dine with old Carr. We've got a nice little scheme on. A further insult! So she was to dine alone on their anniversary, too And there'd be no chance of a nice little scheme to spoil his dinner, which she had thought out. “Don't expect I shall be late. though. But don't sit tip for me." , Not sit up for him! Wouldn't ' she though. even if he didn't get in till midnight, the horrible call- ous brute. She walked coldly to the door. "I’m dining out myself," she an- swered, as she went otit. ' "Oh, are you? Who with?" said Don, shrugging himself into his coat and followed her. “David? she remarked, from the bottom oi’ the stairs. "You dine rather a lot with him, don't you?" “Do I? I really haven't counted." "I never liked the fellow." Marcia seated herself at the breakfast table, and poured out

the coffee.

“He doesn't like you," she re- marked. _

"Why do You go out with him then "

"He likes me all right."

"Naturally," said Don, rather

curtly, as he cracked his egg some- what violently. "Of course. you can look after yourself, darling, but he's rather a slimy sort of bloke." "He's a very clever, intelligent, attractive young man," said Marcia provoklngly.

"Meaning I'm not."

“Oh. no."

"Well, mind your clever, intelli- gent. attractive young man doesn't get his head knocked off. He will, if he comes nosing round after you," said hei- husband angrily. "As you say, I can look after my- ‘self. Pass the marmalade, please,” said Marcia.

Don felt that there was some cloud on the horizon. But Marcia was always rather given to moods. He imderstood ell wives were. Anyhow he hadn't done anything; He was sure of it. And if she liked to dl with David, well he trusted her absolutely. And it would be dull for her dining alone. He knew she hated it, but business was business

So he finished his breakfast ln itzagnanlmous silence, only saying cheerfully as he got up:

"Don't be too late. darling."

As soon as he ad gone, Marcia shed a few tears on the marmalade.

after asking her a hundred quest- “Yes. . . David. . . am you do-f

“I wish you'd take inc out." "I was Just going to ring you. . .

“Rather not. Where shall we‘

“No, the frilly one—"

She laughed. "So you do notice! All right. there.”

She hung up the receiver and went upstairs.

That was the sort of man for you! Even remembered your frocks. Don never noticed. The account against poor Don was piling up

rapidly. Funny that it was his birthday. What should she give him?

“Ohl" A sudden thought came

t to her. She went into the spare l room and switched the elderdown l off the bed. There lay the wedding present she had bought for Don. A suberb motoring coat of the darkest, supplest leather, lined with a wonderful fleece, and with all sorts of gadgets for keeping the wearer warm. Here was a splendid present for David. Don didn't deserve it in the least. It was. ‘ David who was going to give her a gay evening. not Don. This lovely, lovely coat was far too good for an errlng husband.

She made up her mind to give it to David. But as she stood looking down at‘it big tears came into her eyes. Don would have looked no splendid 1n it. He was far hand- somer than David, and she loved

Don, and didn't really care tuppenoe .

for David. Why was Don so hate- ful? He couldn't really care for her much if he never remembered t‘ e day they were married. Rubbing her eyes, she went into her own room, and spread the frock that David liked on the bed. It was a. fairy-like frock of pink tulle, flounoed from the waist, with a rose coloured velvet bodice, and a butterfly sash. It wanted just a little pressing, and Marcia gathered

.it in her arms and ran downstairs

to heat the iron.

‘As the day went on her spirits rose. It was fun going out, even 1f it was the wrong man, and David was a. splendid host. She even found herself humming H. little tune, as she dressed for dinner, and put the final little touch of lipstick to her naturally rosy lips.

If Don had been what he should have been, he would have had the pleasure of entertaining this vision instead of David, even though, in

‘that case. her eyelashes mightwt

have been quite soblack, or her lips so carefully outlined with cnrmine, or her frock quite her prettiest on, because Don - didn't care what she wore.

She ran downstairs and let her- self out oi’ the empty flat. A taxi came crawling along. fortunately. and Marcia hailed him:

"Ratelllﬁs," she said, as she hopp- ed in. and was driven towards that ntalcstronm 'of maddening light and deafening noise and gay crowds that make up Piccadilly Circus.

Davi . was waiting for her on the steps of the restaurant, the kind of handsome, rather effeminate young man that women alternately mother and make love to. He was voted a grcnt pet with married women, and a beastly little bore by the husbands.

"1've booked a table." he said, as she entered the foyer. (Dan al-
