From the Ladies' Home Journal
When a girl has arrived al what is con-
sidered a marTiageable age in Germany
her parents invite young men 10 the
house. Two or three are invited al the
same time, so that the attention may net
seem too pointed. But no young man is
ever invited TO the house until after he
has called at least once, and thus signified
his wish TO have social intercourse with
the family If he call several times in too
close succession il is taken for granted
that he has intentions" and he may be
questioned concerning them. Generally en-
engagement is made public as soon as the
arrangements can be made. This is done
by means of the newspapers and formal
announcements on cards. The man sup
plies plain gold band ring for each. This
is worn during the engagement on the

time the contracting parties are bride and
