A About the house The match -making mother is one of those people whom we often meet in novels and at the cinema. We seldom see her in real life, because such odium is attached to the match- making mother that most women steer clear of the role. They wash their hands of all responsibility and leave their daughter"s to shift for them- selves about getting husbands. This is wrong. Between the schem- ing mother who disposes of her daughter in marriage as if she were a slave on the auction block, and the mother who leaves her daughter's ma- trimonial fate entirely to chance, there is a wide field in which it is not only the province but the duty of a good mother to forward her child's �RQM 'I'H� DESERT �'0 'SHE 1�[LL Great Engineering Feats to Held `Trade! 1011 of smaller waterways, :all of whi(h will combine to distribute water and render fertile e vast tract of oouu In many parts of the world there is boom in engineering, particularly in the construction of great dams, One is being erected on the Nile, which will be the largest in the world when completed -larger even than the fa- mous Assuan Dam in Egypt—others are being constructed in India, while another wonderful piece of engineering will be the mighty works In course of erection on the Colorado River, the object of which is to harness that mighty force.

She never feels safe about them until they are married, and the first breath of relief that a mother draws from the time her baby girl is born is when she sees her walking out of the church door on the arm of her husband. This being the case, why is getting her daughter married not a legitimate occupation for the mother? Why should not a mother use her wisdom and experience in trying to secure a good husband for her child? No mother has a right, to use her influence to make her daughter marry any'-` particular man just because he --•4s a- good catch?' But she should use her own matrimonial experience and . . her awn knowledge of men to guide her girl. an rs,alc xse'Llus xish choice of a }husband. \1/41x. Every woman knows that in affairs b�;: thr�iiiari an a+ince of prevention is worth a pound of cure. There is no use in arguing with a girl in love. She is temporarily incapable of seeing anything in'its true light. She is deaf to all reason. Girls marry the men with whom they are thrown in contact. Hence it is the mother's duty to see that the men with whom her daughters associate are the kind she would welcome as her sons-in-law. The sensible mother does not take into her family a handsome young relative and throw him into daily as- sociation with her daughter, and. then howl with horror when she finds that they have fallen in love with each other and want to get married. Nor does she give the run of her house to some fascinating ne'er-do-well and then weep with despair wben her daughter announces her intention of marrying him despite all the ware - trigs that are held up before her as to how such a marriage is sure to turn aut. The managing mother prevents these catastrophes. Not believing in the marriage of cousins, she does not invite good-looking young kinsmen to make their home with her. She freezes out the undesirables. The -wise mother teaches her daughter that while love is the great thing in matrimony, it is not every- thing, and that a woman does not long love a husband who has not the solid qualities that command' her re- spect. She teaches her that a man who can make his wife a comfortable living will hold her affections longer than one who starves her and repeats poetry to her.. So, when the girl se- lects her life partner she does. it in- telligently, instead of marrying the first attraotive man who strikes her fancy. Men help their sons to start in business. Why should not mothers help their daughters to marry? That's the average girl's business in life. five m e formed what is known, as the Salton without mistake, so as•to escape the ; a , Sea, a huge lake 50,000 acres in area. scrutiny of the Sunday strollers.
