By BEATRICE FAIRFAX, A LL girls grow up with a vague idea regurding the romance of marriage. By the time she is 15 the average girl has planned her wedding gown, her bridesmaids’ gowns, and nil the details of her wedding. But the bridegroom, the next In Importance to herself In the ceremonies, she speculates little about. He 1» a dim, unknown Prince Charm ing In the background, that is all. Until she falls In love the glories and pomp of a big wedding are the chief items concerning marriage In her eyes. After she falls In lovd she would just as soon be married In a cotton frock as a satin creation from Paquln or Worth. She Is apt to fly to the extremity of romanticism In her fervor, and Would, If she 1st very young, like to elope. Now, girls, eloping Is the poorest of all ways to got married, for it often means marrying In haste and repenting at leisure. There is only one satisfactory way to get married, and that Is with your pa rents’ consent and approval. Nine times out of ten when a girl’s* parents oppose her marriage they have some excellent reason for their opposi tion. From their experience In life and Its handicaps they know that the young man is not ready to shoulder the re sponsibilities of married life; or per- hups they realize that he Is not the man to make their wilful little daughter happy. Girls In their teens are not very ac curate judges of men's characters. They are too prone to bo carried away by prepossessing externals, and not to think enough of the real man. No girl should become formally en gaged to a man until her parents have met him and passed Judgment upon him. Of course a girl cannot be expected to give up a mnn simply because her parents object to some unimportant personal characteristic of his. But she should defer to their Judg ment as to his being a lit man for her to marry. They have her welfare at heart, nnd excepting in rare cases are only acting with that in view. Don’t try to keep your love affairs from your mothers, girls. If the man who is paying attention to you Is not willing to come to your home, meet your parents and court you In an hon est, manly way, he Is not the right sort of man for you to know. He Is not t/io man who will make a good husband^ *' If he urges you to elope, don't listen to him. He would not ask you to do .so unless ho had some reason for being afraid to marry you openly. There in nothing romantic about nn elopement. It merely means that yo*i start In married life without any homo |to go to, without the blessing of your parents, without the good wishes of your friends. You miss all the Joy of helping pre pare your little home and the pleasuro of having a lot of pretty clothes to wear. Be as romantic as you like about love, girls, but get married in the pre scribed. commonplace way. And first, last and most Important of all, don’t deceive your mother.
