SO _von sec there is plenty of groniid for arguinent pro and con. but for my part l .side with the ehilclrcn_ and l think parents should be very sure of the reason for their objections before they interfere in their chilclrcn`s heart affairs. Their selfisliiiess, their avarice_ their whims, their prejudices. their religious intoierance is not sufficient cause for their either breaking oil' or promoting a marriage.

There are plenty of fathers who cirivc away potential siiitors from their daughters by their giwiffincss.

'luxurious feeling usually accom- children and splendid young men and girls because they didnt' belong to the same church, or political party, or because one's mother was a Colonial Dame and the other wasnt. ` 1 have in mind one mother who kept her daughter from marrying a " fine young man because she didn't like the shape of his nose. I think of a ,young man whose mother wept and threatened to kill herself until be gave up a girl he adored, because the mother thought the girl frivolous whenl she was merely gay and young and light-hearted. And I remember onel embittered woman whose family forced her to break her engagement to a ' brilliaiit young chap because he belonged to a. less aristocratic family than she did, _vet she lived to see this man Governor of his State and Senator, I anti to have his wife roll by her in a limousine, while she ,walked to work. " Nor :Io parents invariably know best when they pick out their child- I rcn's liiisbands and ivives. How often have we seen ii girl forced to give ; up her poor. yoiini; lover and marry the fat. middle-aged good chance that 5 her parents chose for her, and then behold the good chance bankrupt and I the poor lover successful. How often have we seen the sensible girl, wltp _it iiicc fortune of her own, that mother selected for her son, turn into a ,ilnillstniie about his neck and a naggei' that made his life a torment to him. " ‘ l!l`ll. , . I I l The truth is that marriage is the most individual and personal thing on arth and the one thing in which none of us can judge for `anotlier. Happi- ness in marriage is merely a matter of taste, getting the one* that suits you iiidiridualiy. and very often that one isn't the one who would suit mother or i father. i So, this being the case, fathers and mothers are wise to keep their hand off their childrcn's niarrizigcs. and let them dr their own picking.
