By Helen Oldfield. T is only natural that matchmaking should possess an ] Irresistible attraction for most women and for many men, Old people would like to see the young friends in whose wolfare they feel a warm Interest well settled In Iife, and they are convinced fully that, with thelr superior ex- perience and knowledge of the world, they can judge which of them are best fitted to make each other happy. Still more anxious are newly wedded couples that all thelr unmarried friends and relatives In whom they are specially Interested should follow their example and enter Into the holy estate of matrimony. Nor, In the least, te this, as misogamists assert, on the same principle that Aesop's fox, having lost his tall, advised his friends to dispense with thelrs. They really are actuated by the purest mo- tives, Angelina, finding Edwin all and more than her fancy painted him, wishes that her dearest friend shal! be, not as happy as she herself 1s (that 1s not to be hoped for, since the Ike of Edwin {8 not to be found), but as nearly so as can be attained. Edwin, who In his own opinion 1s the most fortunate of men tn his cholce of a wife, does his utmost to persuade his best chum to take to wife the next best and swetest woman as speed !ly as possible, In the natural course of things, which makes all humanity more or less Inter- dependent, outsiders frequently have it In thelr power either to help or to hinder a marriage, For one thing, propinquity is a potent factor In bringing about matches. Many a man and woman have become husband and wife chiefly be cause, being constantly thrown together at the houses of mutual friends, they have grown used to each other. When a third person undertakes to introduce a couple where even a one sided fancy ts supposed to exist, It f the part of discretion to be silent regard- ing such a supposition, In such case, even though “speech is silvern, silence ts THEY Give ONE SUCH An Exquisite "FIGGER" !
