Selecting Mates for Their Children. 'UST how far parents are justified in interfering in their children's marriages i8 & rhatter of controversy between the two generations that will never be settled. T Doubtless, it began in the patriarchal times when fathers bestowed their sons’ wives ‘upon them just as they did their cattle, and the fight has waged merrily down through the ages to these days when father and mother insist on John and Mary giving up the flapper and the cake-eater on whom their fancies had fallen, for the practical and sensible mates they have picked out for them, Of course, it is perfectly natural for parents to believe that they can make a far better choloe of 4 hiisband o & wife for thelr children than the children can for themselves. They feel that their wisdom, their experience, thely knowledge of life, even their dfffllusion with matrimony ftself, fits them to make a better selection of a suitable lifo mate for son and daughter than the young and ignorant boy and girl comWd make for themselves. . In particular, do parents feel that they can bring a calm, cool judgment to bear on the matter, for they will not be carried away by any glamour of fleeting ‘physical attraction; will not be influenced by the fn!,c! that a chap is tall and slim, and has a way with him. Nor will a girl's peaches and ¢ream complexion, and naturally wavy hair convince them that she is the Heaven-destined mate for their John. No. The lure of beauty, the ability to do the latest jazz steps, and a cute conversational line, would cut no ice with them. They would get right down to furidamentals, and in picking out Mary’s husband, they would select a man begause of his high moral character, his ability to make a good living and his generally quiet and stald demeanor. The type of husband, you know, that can be guaranteed to glve his wife a good closed car and to a without befng hitched. e s e IKEWISE, they would select for John u girl who had a bit of money of her own, who belongbd to their own social set, who knew how to cook and get the most ott of a dollar, and whose mind was set on higher things than having the latest things in clothes and hats and gadding around to parties. And you needn’t tell rhother and father that if John and Mary would go alang and marry the hice, sensible, suitable young woman and man they have picked out for them they wouldn't be happier than they will be with the silly girl and boy they have selected for themselves. But John and Mary reply that, inasmuch as it is they and not father and mother who are going to have to live with the ones they marry, they are the ones to be pleased. Furthermore, that tastes differ and that they do not care any more for mother's and father's tastes in husbands and wives than they do for their taste in clothes, and, as happiness in marriage consists in getting what you want, instead of what you probably should have, they prefer tg do thelr own picking. All of which i{s undenlably true. Doubtless parents could select for their children: better hysbands and wives than they often select for themselves but the ratio of happiness would not be increased thereby nor wguld divorce decrease, for so contrarily is human nature constituted that we cannot love to order those whom we should love nor find inspiring companionship in the Bt of the-elect. Just what it is that fires o woman’s fancy in some hopeless detriinental and makes poverty and struggle and even heartaches more worth while with him than riches and a placid existence would be with another man she doesn’t know. It just'happens that way. . Just what it 1s in some foolish, frivolous girl, who never learns to keep house and who always keeps her husband’s nose on the grindstone that still makes her the most precious thing in the warld to him and fills his days with romance, while he would be bored with a domestic woman who was a real helpmate to him, a man can never figure out even to himself. It just | . . o /AND you can't argue with facts, especially with matrimonial facts. A man :or a woman has that intaggible something you want, though you yourself don’t know what it is, or he or she has It not and you are happy if you get it and miserable if you don’t, and that is all there Is to it. Also parents forget that the faults that they find so objectionable in a &irl or boy their children may not even perceive. The youns and the old do not look at things froni‘the same standpoint. They have not the same ideals nor do they judge things by the same standard. The old bugaboo of parents, that of having thelr children marry out of their class, marry out of their religlon, marry a poor man, marry a frivolous girl; means absolutely” nothing to the young who have seen the turn of the wheel that carried aristocrats to the bottom and brought profiteers to the top of the ladder; who have imbibed the broader religious belief of today: who kriow how to make their own living and do not have to marry for it, and who know that the flapperest flapper often turns into the most domiestic of wives. All of this makes it more and more impossible for parents to decide what ‘sorts of wives and husbands will really suit their children. Probably they never did know, for in the few cases where mothers and fathers did succeed in forcing thelr children to take their choice we see many disasters, So since nobody can tell beforehand how any marriage will turn out, it is just as well for parents to keep their hands off and let their children have at least the pleasure of making their own mistakes.

They are not only sanitary and convenient, but cconomical as well. They save on laundry, prevent stains and econo- mize on time and effortdn the process. You can buy rubber sheeting rang- ing from 27 to 64 inches wide. The popular sizes are 27, 36, 45 and 64 inches. This sheeting comes in both white and maroon rubber. Sometimes it becomes dried out. Look at the a ticle for tiny pin pricks, which are the signs of dried out rubber. ber sheeting for an emergency.

White, of course, tooks more sanitary and neater on bed linen, but the maroon sheets otherwise are just as desirable, Rubber sheeting is made waterproof by coating plain cloth with rubber and sometimes by treating it with wax or ofl. Sanitary® sheeting comes double- faced' and single-faced. The double- faced wears longer because it has twice ag much waterproofed surface to use. ' The single-faced sheeting is cheaper, because it.is only rubberized on one side, and will .answer many needs. 'If you just wish a sheet for emergencies a =ingle-faced article will do. . For bables’ cribs, stockinet is a favorite sheeting. - It is made with cloth on both sjdes, and it's softer than rubber against the skin. Tt is very durable stuff, but be sure if you buy it to find out whether both sides are waterproofed. Stockinet is some- times used by housewives to cover a table top, under the ordinary cloth, to protect a pelished surface from possi- ble stains. Stlk rubber makes a fine sheeting, too. It is both soft and light in weight. It 1s made with a foundation of silk, which is covered with rubber. Don’t buy & sik rubber sheet unless your local dealer knows the article well, or unless you find a rellable corn meal. Add a cup of molasses and a scant teaspoon of salt.

Sometimes the boys whose lives and hones have been blighted by the be. trothal of their lady love to another creep away and nurse their wounded feelings in sllence. Sometimes they ask humbly whether they may con: tinue to see her—to be good friends with her. And the girl, secretly rather pleased at having inspired such ardent devotion, gives her consent. She tells her broken-hearted suitor gently that he will always be one of, her dearest friends, that she wants him to like her fiance and that everything is just going to be perfectly dandy. That was the line Eleanor handed Steve when she found that her heart belonged to Phil. She ured her old sweetheart that he was her good pal and that Phil was sure to like him ew- fully. Phil hadn’t heard about the plans for | this bright, new friendship.

We know that certain vitamins have certain amazing effects on human health. We know that without vitamins human beings cannot live. But what are vitamins? What relation do they bear to the fundamental, vital spark of life itself? Why, for example, can a small dose of cod-liver oil each day make the difference between a pale, anzmic, rickety child and one who is normal, sturdy, rosy-cheeked? How can so much health, not only for children, but for grown-ups, be packed in so small a compass? Perhaps some, day Science will give us the answer. Meanwhile it is enough For, indeed, it is so. The astounding virtues of good cod-liver oil seemed almost miraculous until ! the existence of vitamins was discovered and it became known that good' cod-liver oil was in- credibly rich in the important fat-soluble vitamins. These vitamins raise resistance to disease, promote growth, protect children against rickets, act almost like some strange and mythical Elixir of Life. But, unfortunately, unless special measures are taken, the precious vitamin (A) may be easily lost, during the process of preparing and packaging the oil. Squibb’s Cod-Liver Oil is prepared under a special exclusive process developed in the Squibb Laboratories. This process insures the retention of the all-important vitamins.
