Tn case where an officer, male or fe- male. wishes to become engaged to an ordinary soldier-for rank in the Salvar ton Army is not caste-the same rule of separation IS observed, but the prl- vate must rise from the ranks before inc marriage will be sanctioned. ThfS provision is made that there may be extraordinary efforts made by the pr1- yate in doing good work-and love will find a wav-for thus the marriage will reflect honor upon the army.
 If any officer should happen, as IS sometimes the case, to fall in love with one outside the army and this one re- fuses to join, tEen he must cease to be an officer and return to the ranks, dis honored. One of the precautions against counting among the officers IS to place a man and wife or two men and their wives in command of every corps.
 If a female officer and male private wish to marry, then, be it leap year or not. the woman must take the initial tive. She must make the application to headouarters, fill out the required amount of blanks and do whatever she can toward making her prospective lord and master an officer.

Any breaking of an engagement, /" the field book ordains, must be at once reported to the division officer, and any officer found guilty of shame less and heart-brealting iilting will be reduced to the ranks. Counting means, more or less, a division of feeling, neces- sarily interfering in some measure with the discharge of duty, and is, there fore, deprecated.

 The section of the rules and regula- tions of the Salvation Army relating to love, courtship and marriage among the field officers is not generally known. Such strict regulations toward the lit- tie god with the bow and darts exist in this body that it would be little won der if but a small amount of romantic feeling entered into the matter of be- ing engaged and married.
 1t is only to the officers of the army, however, that these rules apply; the rank and file may make love and marry as they see fit, provided they limit the number of their marriages to one. if the susceptible heart of male officer becomes stirred with the tender passion of love, and he ardently desires to be come one with the fair lady of his affections, he does not drop at once on the left knee and ask her to allow her soul to join with his, nor does he then slip on the engagement ring while she prettily blushes. Neither does he timidly approach him whom he fain would call father, declaring that life without "her" is of no account at all
