ENGAGEMENTS IN ENGLAND.-Courtshlps
in England are short aud engagements are
LONG No sooner is it understood that
Young man and young woman are In love
than it is given out that they are engaged.
The American custom of leaving young men
and women free to associate together and
keep company with each other for an lnde-
finite length of time without declaring their
intentions is almost unknown in any country
Of Europe. It is not long after young man
begins to show the daughter attentions De-
fore the father gives intimatlon tnae ne
wishe. to know what it means, and either
the youth declares his intentions or ID notl-
fed to "cut sticks" Whatever the adVan-
tages of the English view Of this matter may
have il has. ut least, one most obvious dls-
advantage, and that is it leads to engage
meuts upou too short an acquaintance, ano
II makes of the engagement the courtlng
time rather than as a mere preparation lol
marriage. When once engaged the young
people are thrown together in the freest
fashion, and may be left to themselves at al
times aud in all places almost as though
thew were man and wife. Iu the general
society of America marriage Is deemed the
vtally important event in life, but IN Eng
lish society the engagement Is looked upon
as the most important, and really Is sor'
IF first stage in matrimony, or the persona
uniting of the lives only awaiting the lega
CEREMONY.
