The happiness of many a girl Has

of Parents.
Why is it that parents always
fancy they have a right to sit in
judgment upon the love affairs of
their children?
In all probability they resented
parental interference in their own
courting days, and possibly mar-
ried, in ap:te of it; yet, fur some
undefined reason, they consider
their choice of a son or daughter-
in-law to be of far greater import-
ance than their children's choice of
a husband or a wife, writes a
daughter in London Answers.
Their methods are often mean -
particularly in the ease of a daugh-
ter. Wher4the object of a girl's
choice is brought home for the first
time, it is to undergo an examina-

For example:
The family of one girl criticised
the man of her choice so adversely
that she felt it would be unwiso to
attempt to bring him home again.
She promised to think seriously of
giving him up.
After the lapse of only a month
she introduced a second suitor to
the domestic circle. This one was
received with gloom, and compari-
son was made between him and his
predecessor -much to the advant-
age of the latter.
With exemplary willingness the
maiden dropped the new -comer,
only, however, to submit yet an-
other for inspection a month later.
This one was practically shown
the door. And the girl's parents
began now to regret that the ori-
ginal lover had ever been discard-
ed.
For the fourth time the unfortu-
nate girl essayed to please her par-
ents. Yet another suitor was pre-
sented, and found wanting.
Upon this the maiden ingenuous-
ly confessed that she had never real-
ly abandoned her first lover at all.

The news of the proposer' inter.
slewbetween the Sovereigns, tom
ing sn soon fter the settlement of
the Balkan crisis, has aroti ed eag-
er speculation among the diplomats
at St. Petersburg. It was supposed
in some searters that German medi-
ation, which had ended tie crisis,
had left an inheritance of bitter -
nese which would estrange the two
Monarchs and lead Russia to identi-
fy herself more closely with Great
Britain's continental policy.
The meeting, whits, according to
some reports, has been arranged :if:
the initiative of Emperor Nicholas.
is taken to mean that Russia prefers
nn amicable arrangement with Ger-
many to the doubtful issue of an
antagonistic policy. If Emperor
William also meets President Fel-
lieres, as reported from Berlin, the
European stivation may be regard-
ed as entering upon a decidedly
peaceful phase.
