IN BRIEF.

N BRIEF.
Growing observance among fashionable
| ,..o.rof the foreign custom of announcing
-..,erears has caused some controversy
,.,a-ae rropriety of giving publicity TO
aba, has been considered the private affair
.r ,t. interested parties. Hitherto any
-.s,,rrure has been considered allowable
-fircrt gossip from an engaged pair, and
,-r,cjert!ous young women have been put
.,.rsfr wits end to find way to escape
-..g.. living. We're there public an
,.rrcerrent much of this would be averted.
ps,,f,. mere seems but two reasons to be
.r,at-cre that women are tickle and men
ar. false. and the other that young woman
tr,vl 10 be engaged is converted into
vs.-a5yr.r and left to the sole companion
slp.f her Be:roihed, Giving publicity to
OH enhancement would have the effect of
rreyea'iHr an entering lightly into this
S.rd ~3u.d tend also to remove temptation
nrUgge,ry or tijrratiCn. and at the same
tine di,arm gossip. An engagement is
properly only the waiting period before
marriage, and lis purpose is served when
-eeacagai parties observe the time as one
ofurobatiaa that is to be used for obtaining
more borough knowledge of each other
and IN preparatory training for the new life
h.t1re them. Again, while TO make or
break 'ro'h lightly is wrong, the time be-
ta .u promise and fulfillment is mainly to
To-. each o,uer, ana if essential to future
happiness 70 sever bond not so binding as
tue marriage bond, yet second only to it in
solemn obligation. During this waiting
period there is no good reason for RELOCATING
tie betrJthrl maiden to nunlike seclusion,
ua.'her should her friends of the opposite
sex ,aun her society. 1t is not presumed
that Young men give their time and at
tt1,.on to young women solely with an
t.e'y marriage, and the girl by her en-
Flgrmeut ought no. in their eyes to lose the
Charms mat heretofore attracted them; the
rather can they now bestow upon her all
those pleasant attentions that we're in dam
garof being misconstrued in other days.
In Europe the first appearance of an en-
Feged couple after the announcement is the
sigma. for congratulations, and the bride
t.eet almost reglins the eclat that was hers
OF first entering society. There is one Gus
tom wfica if followed would surely find
favor. III that of presenting silver cups
by 'ae friends FOR however heavy the tax
night Gal. on friends, the engaged pair
would raise no objection.
