Te Ladies Fair.
All blondes ae not light-headed, says
the Boston Transcript.
Girls with liquid voices should be
careful not to strain them.
Some women are a delight to the
eye and a drug to the mind.
Never tell a grass widow that she is
in the hayday of life.
If woman’s age counts against her
she knows enough to keep down the
count.
The girl who marries for a lark
often finds out that sire was the jay.
The idea of marring will haunt a
woman if she has the ghost of a
chance.
Giris feel proud of having many
new admirers, but one old one is rea
lly more to her credit.

“Engaged” means “pledged in
marriage. ’ ’
That is what my dictionary says.
I have looked up the word, because
I rave been asked by so many young
people from time to time to define
the privileges and claims and liabili
ties of the engaged state, that I want
ed to have my friend Noah’s help.
“Engaged” means “pledged in
marriage”—that is, it means that
two young people who are engaged
have decided that they love each oth
er enough to leave father and mother,
and all home ties and cleave to each
other all through life.
Now how much liberty of inter
course, with some particular member
of the opposite sex, other than rhe
betrothed, should these two people
who feel that way have? This is the
question which, in one concrete form
or another, is continually being asked
me.
And my Yankee answer is, “How
on earth can they want any at all?”
The only question, I suppose, is
whether either may provide himself
or herself with an occasional substi
tute when he or she cannot possibly
have his betrothed.
Os course, there can be no question
but that neither would ever want any
one else when he or she could have
his life partner. That would be to
deny the meaning of the betrothal,
that each vastly prefers the other to
anyone else in the world.
Now, perhaps I’m wrong, but it
seems to me that in this matter, en
gaged ought to be considered the
same as married.
And when a man is married, he pre
sumably doesn’t expect to take some
other woman to the theatre or dance,
even if his wife is away from home
or he is in another city. And as en-
jportrum and -Altman

beginning Thursday. Sept. 21. we will have on display,

Wisdom in the selection of our styles enables us to offer

i
,gaged people have made up their
I minds that they care enough for each
, other to be married, I don’t really
! see why he should want to when he is
j And when a woman is married she
(presumably dosn’t want to entertain
jor be entertained by other men, if
her husband is away. Why then,
should she want to when she is en
gaged ?
I believe that if two people care
enough to be engaged they should care
so much that all other men become
sexless to the woman and all other
women become sexless to the man.
If any engaged man or woman finds
that this is not so he or she finds a
danger signal.
Now, all this does not mean that
I am advocating that an engaged man
shall become monklike in his attitude
towards other women, or that women
shall shun the society of all men and
the two confine themselves solely to
each other’s society.
Married people don’t do that.
It just means that I think the same
standards on this subject should be
observed by engaged as by married
people.
These are my notions on this sub
ject.
You —my correspondents have
asked me for them and you have them.
But please don’t lay too much stress
on them or judge anyone’s conduct
by them.
I believe that the very best way
to avoid trouble on this subject is
for each engaged couple to talk the
matter over frankly -with each other
and abide by the feelings of the most
scrupulous since one party cannot pos
sibly suffer as much from giving up
a little freedom as the other party
would suffer from that arch-torment,
jealousy.
