The question of how far parent ar
Justified in Interfering in their children'!
matrimonial affairs ta one upon which
youth and age will never agree.
All mothers and
fathers think that
tholr yearn, their
wisdom and experi
ence in life make
them the best
judges of what sort
f women and men
their sons and
daughters should
marry. And In
proof of their con
tention they point
jt that In the
countries where
fathers find moth
ers do arrange
their children's
marriages there Is
Ttiuch less- divorce
than there is In
.America, where
foung folks manage the matter for them
selves. This view of the matter is one in which
tr.dependent young America will never
mcqulesce. In this country marriage is
not entered Into primarily as an estab
lishment for the perpetuation of tho
family. It Is an experiment In individual
happiness. We want to pick out our own
husbands and wives, and at least have
the pleasure and excitement of making
our own mistakes.
" To my mind there are three cases, and
three only. In which parents are justified
,1n Interfering In their children's love af
fairs and breaking off a match If they
can. If parents know that a man Is Im
moral, or a drunkard, or lasy and shift
Jess, they are right to .move heaven and
'earth to prevent their daughter from
'marrying Mm. and thus bringing certsin
misery upon her own head.
!,' Or if parents know a girl to be care
less In morals, of shrewish temper and
'extravagant and slovenly, they do no
!nor than their duty In trying to save
their son from wrecking his life by
marrying her.
.! In each case It la a matter of the char.
acter of the Individual . to which the
parent has a right to object Nothing
Hse counts, and the father and mother
far exceed their privileges when they
object to their son or daughter choosing
a wife or husband because she or he
happens not to be of the same religious
faith, or shade of politics, or have the
peculiar colored hair that they admire.
'' Religious bigotry should have no plaoe
tn this country where people come be
cause It guarantees them, freedom t
worship Ood according to the dictates of
conscience, yet Just sow I know of a
ieart-broken young woman who has
'been parted from the man she loved be
cause her mother does not believed In
Ij'mlxed marriages." The young man is
all that one culd desire in a aon-l.i-law
except his faluT. which doesn't please the
girl's mother and which Is none of the
old lady's business.
tn such a case a young couple are
foolish to let the prejudices of a narrow
minded parent wreck their happiness,
fhe belongs to the day of religious in
tolerance and persecution, the rack and
thumb-screw, when people thought It
itious and pleasing to Ood to torture
-ther people into their way of think
ing. The young people belong to a
,1roader and saner and more tolerant
era of human thought, and If each Is
willing that the other should seek
Jteaven In his or her own way they
Should refuse to be parted by an old
woman's fanaticism. If there's nothing
io object to In a man except the church
jf-.e goes to he is certainly a matrimonial
prize that any girl should grab without
stopping to argue It out with her mother.
.', Another stumbling block tn the path
It true love Is tho family tree. Fathers
and mothers, and particularly mothers,
'feci that they have a perfect right to
,)reak off a match If their son or daugh
llerls going to marry some girl or boy
who Isn't In their particular little social
pvt. This Is ridiculous In democratlo
'America, where every man makes his
own place in the world, and Is con
tinually changing It, so that unless
Another has the gift of prophecy she
'never knows where the poor boy she
keeps her daughter from marrying la
'.guing to end.
:' A bitter old maid of my acquaintance,
who ekes out a bare Irving as a type
writer, often points out to me the name
of senator of the United States to
'whom she wss engaged when she was a
Klrl, and whom she loves to this day.
'Hul her mother broke off the engage
ment because she didn't consider that a
carpenter's son was fit to marry Into
her august family.

What is a honeymoon? "A honeymoon is
lonely, frail swing of silvery gold hung In the sky,
far away from everybody, where nobody can hear,
where nobody matters at all, and in the honey
moon, drifting, uncaring, lost to the world for
awhile, swinging their feet over chasms that they
never could cross with their feet on the earth,
snuggle the bride and the man she's gone with
for good! That is a honeymoon!
Why is a honeymoon there in the sky for only
a little while? Why does it go so soon, like a sand
lily in the sun? "Because," says Love, "because no
moon lasts, does it? And the honeymoon is the rar
est of the moon blossoms. Nothing endures and
5 .to
&
aax
the tenderest and choicest fades the fastest. That
is the way of the world. But there will be lots of
other honeymoons after this one!"
What's in the honeymoon besides the man and
the bride? "Oh, new baggage with a new name
upon it that makes the bride grow carnation pink
when she catches it with her enchanted eye; bon
net boxes, railroad folders, rice a-leakln' out;
white ribbons, roses and worn shoes, the blueprints
for a little bungalow, a treasure chest full of
memories not very old and dreams ahead into tho
future and a sigh and 'a kiss or two! Enough!"
"And I sit." says Love, "here upon by faery stool,
swinging 'em to and fro!" NELL BRINKLEY,

has tired of you and will think less of
you if you throw yourself at him. What
would you think of a young man who
persisted In writing to you If you had
ceased to be Interested In him?

By GARRETT P. BERVI88.
One of man's oldest companions on this
.lonesome, moon-chased earth la the silent,
little lover of dark corners and destroyer
of wool, fur and feathers, called the
clothes-moth. The
ghost-white wings
of these fluttering
creatures of the
twilight have
haunted human
habitations from
the earliest
recorded times.
T h patriarch
Job, who was a
great wool raiser,
knew only too well
their ravages when
he compared him
self to "a garment
that la moth
eaten." it Is prob
able that they Insinuated themselves Into
the smoky caverns of the prehistoric cave
dwellers, and luxuriated In the first fui
garment.
"The fondness they exhibit nowadays
for tailor-made suit and othsr expen
sive product of the loom," says C. L
Msrlatt of the United State Bureau of
Entomology, "la simply an Illustration
of their ability to keep pace with man In
his development."
Lake th still more objectionable. Im
pudent and dangerous ..snger-on, the
house fly, the clnfhes-moih dogs man's
footsteps wherever ho goes, embarks w!th
hlra on his voyages of trade or discov
ery, crosses oceans with him, and offi
cially helps him to Inhabit any new lands
that he may find.
Thus It appears thst clothes-moths
cam over with th pilgrim fathers or
some of th early whit settler on this
continent, for Mr. Marlalt snnaks of their
early Introduction Into th United States,
which seem to carry the Implication
that they were not here originally. But.
If so. they multiplied with astonishing
rapidity as soon a they got a foothold,
for by the yaar T7tt they had become
terror In th village of Philadelphia by
their destruction of woolen and fur.
It I not. by th way, the moths thenv
selve that undermine th hair of your
costly fur overcoat, plough winding chan
nels through the surface of worsted gar
ments and eat hole off th pile of ex
pensive garments, twit it la their off
spring, th larva, or caterpillars. The
ar of a dull whit color and hardly
three-eighth of an Inch long, with a
brownish whit heed. They are odd-looking
creatures, for they cloth themselves
as If they carried their unreciprocated
found nes for human society to the point
of Imitating their big, two-legged unwill
ing hosts, by wearing a garment.
The garment of the moth caterpillar
consist of a kind of sack, or Jacket,
woven by It own hand, and lined with
oft silk. In which It ensconces Itself up
to the ears, and when It take a walk
It put out a short length of It neck and
a bunch of forelegs and drag along. It
never take off it Strang Jacket or
come out of It unless pulled out by an
Inquleltiv entomologist. Perhaps r.
membeiing Its own dealings with laJd-up
garments. It keeps Its clothe always In
use.
Mr. Marlatt has given an Interesting
description of this curious appendage?
"With th growth of th larva It be
comes necessary from time to time to en
large the case both In length and cir
cumference, and this Is accomplished In
a very Interesting way. Without leav
ings It case the lama makes a silt half
way down on aide and lnsart a trian
gular gore of new material. A similar
Insertion Is made on the opposite side,
and the larva reverses Itself without
leaving the case and makes correspond
ing slit and additions In the other half.
The case s lengthened by successive
addition to either end. Exteriorly the
case appear to be a matted mass of
smalt particle of wool; Interloly It Is
lined with soft whitish silk. By trans
ferring th larva from time to time to
fabric of different colors th caa may
be made to aasum as varied a pattern
as th experimenter desires."
When It feels Its end drawing near the
larva usually attache Its case to th gar
ment on which It has been feeding, but
sometime carries it elsewhere to be at-
Itached. About three weeks later th
J transformation Is finished, and th moth
""' . reauy io lay eggs ror in pro
ductton.of a new generation.
Tl eggs 'are laid In April, May, of
June, according to the latltuda, as a
certain warmth 1 required, and usually
they are deposited directly on th gar
ment that la to serve aa th foraging
field for th larva. The eggs ar scur
clly visible to th naked eve. Sometimes
I they ere deposited In crevices of tr inks
and boxes, tn which garments' hsvs been
laid away, and as soon as they ar born
th larvae creep In through the minute
cracks and begin their forbidden feast.
The best way to protect garments is to
begin In April or May and beat and
brush them thoroughly every few day
before they are put away In tightly closed
receptacles, with camphor, tobacco, naph
thaline, cedar sprigs, or soma of th other
"repellents" commonly used. But If any
ggs have been left In the garments they
wl'l hatch, and th larva will promptly
act to work. The surest protection Is cold
storage, th temperature never being al
lowed to rise above 40 degrees Fahrenheit
