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. Ton-
need her advice, confidence and help atj
* n#ver more so than In,
all times, but
choosing a husband.
