By the time she is 15 the average girl has planned her wedding gown, her bridesmaids' gowns, nnd all the details of her wedding. But the bridegroom, the next In Importance to herself In the ceremonies, sne speculates little about. He 1s n dltn, unknown Prince Charm ing In the background, thnt Is all. Until she falls In love tho glories and pomp of a big wedding are the cbltff items ooncernlng marriage In her eyes. After she falls In love she would just as soon be 1 married In a cotton frock as a satin creation from Paquln or Worth. She Is apt to lly to the extremity of romanticism In her fervor, and would, If she Is very young, like to elope. Now', girls, eloping is the poorest of all ways to get married, for It often means marrying In haste nnd repenting at leisure. There Is only one satisfactory way to get married, and that Is with your pa rents’ consent and upprovnl. Nine times out of ten when a girl’s parents oppose her murringe they have some excellent reason for their opposi tion. From their experience in life nnd Its handicaps they know that the young ntnn Is not ready to shoulder the re sponsibilities of married life; or per haps 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 be carried away by prepossessing externals, and not fo 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 fir! cannot be expected to give up a innn 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 fit man for her to marry* They have her welfare at heart, and 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- th« man who will make a good husband. If he urges you to elope, don't Ifiien to him. He would not ask you to do so unless he bad somo reason for being afraid to marry you openly. There Is nothing romantic about an elopement. It merely means that yon start In married life without any home 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, lost and most important of all. don’t deceive your mother. You, need her advice, confidence and help at; all times, but never more so than In choosing a husband. Hit Wish.

I one little fellow, who Chicago, Dec. 18.—Benjamin Gold fredson, a Detroit millionaire, declares that his 10-year-old son, Robert, has been kidnaped and held in Chicago for a ransom of $30,000. He refused to pay the amount and later, he says, the amount demanded by an attorney, claiming to represent his former wife, was reduced to $20,000.
