Dix Says PARENTS’ OPPOSITION Rosana YOUTH INTO FOOL MARRIAGES

Propinquity Is Very Effective As A Match - Breaker

I_ get many letters from parents asking how they can bunk ofl the unsuitable marriages that their children are bent on making and that will inevitably ruin their lives. Well. making a loveslck boy realize that be~ cause Sally has golden curls on the outside of her head does not com- pensatc for her not havintgla single idea inside of it, and causing an en- amoured girl to perceive at John is a lazy loafer instead of a Fairy Prince. is a feat that deserves to be classed among ths minor miracles. still ltdcarlit be done. Only fathers and mother can't do it the way they

try to o

.. . The time-honored technique in such cases is for Father and Mother to get rough and to as- sert their authority. They forbid John to dat the Smith girl again and shut their door in the Jones boys‘ face. They a over the family his- tory of the lad and lasse who have dared to cast amorous eyes on their own darlings, and dig up the fact that their grandparents lived on the wrong side of the tracks. or that their Uncle Abner was a bootlcgger, or that their Cousin Susie was gosslped about when she was a. girl. And thev play upon the shortcomings and the personal idiosyncrasies of the boy and girl friend as upon a. harp with a thousand strln s.

All of which simply prec pitatea the catas- trophe they dread. Parental opposition has rush. ed more boys and girls into fool mania es than anything else in the world. It rouses ai of the combativeness of high-strung youngsters and . makes them determined that they will show Mother and Father that they won't be dictated to, or let anybody else pick out their husbands and wives for them.

Worse still, it makes them the 01181133710115 of the boy and girl to whom their parents oblect. and causes them eliberatcly to shut their eyes to defects that they otherwise would perceive in those with whom they con- tempted spending the balance of their loves. .

Wlmt, then. is the best procedure for_ parents to take in trying to save their children from making the fatal mistake of marrying the wrong ones? An old method of dissipating loves young dream that is almost as infallible as Grandma's recipe for sponge cake is to give them an over- dose of the society of the party of the other part, for propinquity is just as effective as a match-breaker as it is in match-making.

So instead of trying to separate John and Sally from the ob ects of their ill-advised affections, the wise parents have them always un er foot where John and Sally get a close-up view of their little "ways" and an earful of their conversation. Any romance that can survive spending a week in the country, with nobody to see or talk to but their sweeties and nothing to _do but to bill and coo. is a deathless passion with which no one has a right to_ interfere. Otherwise they will be so fed up with each other that thcv will never want to met again. This remedy is particu- larly recommctided for hot Summer weather.

Another true and tried way of making a love-blinded youth or maiden see how unsuitable a mate not in his or her class would be, is the one that, Thackeray recommends in one of his stories where the old Major after vainly trying to induce his ward to give up an illiterate girl with whom he thinks himself in love, says: "Ah, I see ln her letters she s lls affection with one “f." That tun-led the trick, for love can stand BBS-EC and contumely. but not ridicule.

A mother I knew used to scare off the undesirable suitors who hung around her pretty daughter by being as sweet as honey to them. and in a burst of confidence telling them what. a darling Maud was and how she would hate to give her up. but that she feared that she had spoiled her because she didn't know the first thing about anything domestic, or how to take care of money. And what it cost to dress they simply wouldn't believe if she should tell them! That made the prudent move on.

‘These are mere suggestions for handling the situation diplomatically. Naturallv every case requires different treatment, but all parents shoudl know the a caches to their own children,
