A woman recently told me. with tears of disappointment in her eyes, that her daughter was going to marry a certain worthy but commonplace young man, who did not come up to the mother's ambitious aspirations for her girl. j "I can't see why Alice wants to l marry him, or what she sees in him," i wailed the mother. "Of course, you can't," I replied, : "the only match that has ever taken place since the world began that out I siders could account for was that of j Adam and Eve. Every other match has us guessing." I Nobody ever understood why any 'one falls in love with any one else. ! We don't know why we love the one we do. No one on the outside feels the attraction, physicial and psychic, that draws two people together, and, I this being the case, it is a pretty good indication that third parties have no business intermeddling in love affairs, or making or breaking marriages. No one heeds the warning, how ever. There probably isn't a single individual living who doesn't consider himself, or especially herself, perfectly capable of picking out husbands and wives for everybody in the commun ity. We all have a secret feeling when ever we hear of a marriage that has turned out badly that it is the result of people following their inclinations instead of having asked our advice. Certainly there are no parents who do not consider themselves perfectly qualified to settle their children's love affairs. Every mother in the land feels that she could guarantee her son's happi ness by marrying him off to that nice, domestic, pious Mary Smith next door, who has a comfortable fortune in her own right, and a pug nose and carroty hair. Every lather is sure that it would be for his daughter's welfare if he could only induce her to look with favor upon the sensible and substan tial widower around the corner, who has a good home and a good income to offer her along with his embon point and fifty years. The mother would, if she could, break off the engagement between her son and the pretty and gay and impecunious young girl whom he has chosen for a wife. The father con siders that he is doing his duty in keeping his daughter from throwing herself away on a youth who still has his fortune to make, v An neither parent is troubled by the slightest suspicion that the girl or Julius Orkin "FAMOUS FOR BLOUSES"" 1508-1510 Douas St. Friday and Saturday Wonderful XMAS BLOUSE SALE Our Mr. Orkin is now in New York and has sent us for this great two-day event hundreds of beautiful new style blouses.

Neh , boy whose lives they are doing their i conscientious best to wreck are the only possible judges ot what they want in a husband wife. For there is no other such mys tery as the mystery of love. Science can measure the distance to the sun and determine the course of the stars, but it cannot tell where one's fancy will fall. Philosophy has formulated codes of ethics and systems of re ligion for man to live by and die by, but it has not formulated any theory by which he can be happy and successful in love. Experience has taught humanity wisdom in everything except love. Before that the sage and the fool, the adept and the amateur, the debutante and the valcntudinarian stand upon the same platform. 1 Nobody is capable of judging of who is another's affinity, or with whom he or she will be happy. We do not know by what tests we make selections ourselves. We only know that out of all the world someone who has not more beauty, more worth, more charm, or more intelli gence than a million others is the only possible one for us. We are swayed in our choice by a double current of mental and physi cal attraction that draws us to some particular one that sweeps us capric iously and helplessly away from one man or woman to another. This is why marriages that are ap parently incongruous so often turn out well. None of us would pick out a dull husband for a brilliant woman; or a simple and ignorant wife for a learned man, or a gay little butterfly for a preacher, or a grave scientist for a society belle, but these people select each other for mates against the protest of their friends, and are happy ever after, because each answers to the other for some need that no stranger could possibly know. In matters of the affection love is supreme, and a man or woman should take counsel of nothing but his or her own soul. Family and friends have no right to dictate on the subject. Because a girl does not fire a man's mother's fancy is no sign that he will not love her forever and a day. Be cause a man does not cause a girl's father's heart to go pit-a-pat is no token that he will not thrill 'her as long as she lives. The individual who is going to marry, and who has to live with the party of the other part, has the right to choice, and this is a fact that fam ilies who intermeddle in love affairs would do well to remember.
