those essentials ho might love the gill lo

Tho Jnpauoo maiden in any cveut does
not choose he own husband II would
no moio occur to her to do such an nuda

given her at blith An interested ft lend
of the family known as the gobetween
attends to this matter
When a gill reaches a marriageable age
this gobetween mats about ror a hus
band for her When he finds a young
man who meets all of the requirements
of family and fortune he arranges for a
meeting with the girl and her mother
Another wav Is to nrrnngp for a meet

the matchmaker will pretend that It Is
