And they lived happy ever after— AFTER they sucoseded in sidestepping her mother and-her father, and her sister Bertha, and he- brother Joe, and her sister Mary, and her brother J Louis, and her eunt Louise, and her uncle Walter, and her aunt Emma, and her best friend Pilla. For the deadliest enemy of young love is neither the “other woman” nor the “other man,” but the inter fering in-laws. They are the official torturers of Cupid, who must be cruel when they think they are being kind. And the omly sure way to escape their benevolent thumbecrewing is to leave them, to “leave them fiat,” as Frank Craven ‘expresses it in his comedy of family. pecked lovers “Too Matty Cooks.” obviously subscribes to the philosophy of that sensible man qwho eaid that when he married he should select an orphan or live on a desert island.

It is this resolve on the part of his hero which turns love's defeat to victory and utterly routs father, mother, slater Bertha and the reet of the flancee’s domestic tmped!- mente. Having @ pronounced personal an- tipathy to “well-meant interference from family or alleged friends, 1 was slighted with Mr. Craven's denun- ciation of such meddling. “It dues xo mueh more harm than good—that is the point you make, isn't It?" I asked him. He nodded laconic assent, He is quiet, business-like young man, this playwright-actor, with observant gray eyes, not too close together, and & manner almost dry in its simplicity. OVER-SOLICITOUS FRIENDS ARE TROUGLE-MAKERS. “I have observed so many cases,” he said, “in which the over-solicitous friends and relatives of the young woman stir up trouble between her and her fiance, or even between her and her young husband. “When a young man gets en- gaged, the people who knew him, even the members of his own family, usually smile and say, ‘Oh, well, he's let himeelf in for this and he can just look out for himeelf’ But whon e@ young woman announces her engace- mont, every one sighs, ‘Poor what | can do for joeen’t + marriage, it’s not threugh lack of effort. “I suppose the general attitude gurvival of the old idea that a wom- an could fot possibly be permitted to choose her husband for herself. ‘We know that thero was a long per- fod of history when every father mar- ried off his daughter to suit bis own sweet will, and she was allowed ab- solutely no voice in the matter. To- dey in many parts of Europe the American loye match, the free choice of two free young persons, is un- known, and the pafentally arranged marriage prevails, ALL “ON THE JOB” WITH ToR- TURE WEAPONS. “At least we'@se past that condi- tion of affairs in the United States. But though the father does not se- lect his daughter's husband and rarely, if ever, forbida her to marry the man of her own selection, the rest of the family are right on the fob with discouragement, advice, innu- endo, suspicion and other instruments | of torture.” “You don't think, then, that the in- terference with true love is restricted to the mother-in-law, as the co! supplements would have us believ: I asked, “It 1s not!" etoully maintained Mr. Craven. “A girl's mother ought not to interfere, of course, after the girl la old enough to decide for herself, her daughter, and it's only natural [that rhe should want to take every Precaution, even every mistaken one, jfor her child's happiness, | “But what right has an aunt to butt in?

It must be a Policy of ‘hands off’ The two must sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, according to what's in them. No one can help and “But o1 her hand the Amer- foan girl is continually being criti- cized for her ‘headstrong belief tn herself,” I submitted, "She is told that she doesn't pay sufficient atten- tion to the advice of her elders,” ‘If she doesn't pay attention to it, the advice is nevertheless offered,” Mr. Craven observed dryly. “A little thing like non-attention never stops it, I believe that the American girl 1s more independent in following the voice of her heart than she was once, and I think it’s a good thing. For now, you see, her heart is cqunselled by her brain. Before she marries she usually knows something of the world and of men. Isn't she given an excellent chance to get acquaint- ed with both during the years she spends in the shop or the business office? “It 19 @o particularly foolish to-day for the family of a young woman who has been earning her own living for several years to step in suddenly and attempt the arrangement of her life, If she isn't qualified to know what sort of husband she wants, and wheré and how she wants to live af- ter marriage, who 1s qualified to teach LOVERS’ QUARRELS ARE LIKE THOSE OF CHILDREN. “She may make a mistake, of course.
