When Mr. Parsons called it was sup- owed that he was there as an interme- diary from the operators, When he came out of the conference he was asked whetier this was true. “Wen, 1 am a sort of an intermedi- ary,") he replied, “but I did not come ‘he with any olive branch.

Accomiing to Arthur T. Vance, editor of The Pic- tortal Review, the baneful rule of “her” mother be- eins before the ceremony — In GREELEY*.SMITH many instances Prevents it altogether. The sum and substance of his philosophy is that the American mother's excessive de- mands for her daughter are respons!- ble for the increasing number of bachelors and old matds. “I can't get away to marry you to-day, my ma won't let me,” is what the American girl says to the young man earning’ a salary—at least Mr. Vance thinks so, and his explanation has the merit of novelty and plausibility, When the $0 a week young mun lays his heart and pay envelope at the feet of hits adored, and the adored tolls her mother about it, this !s Mr, Vance's version of the subsequent proceedings, an related in his article in the current number of his periodical.

That is a problem for the two young people to work out, and most of them will be found strong enough to do it. “Helping a man make good is the best thing @ modern American girl does, Moreover, she does it just as well as ber mother and her grandmother did before her, which is saying @ great deal. “But certainly thera must be some minimum of safety in the matter of ry," I remarked. “a mother has a right to look out for her daughter's future, What do you. 1k Is the least salary upon which a young couple should marry?"
