All unconscious Of the man in the
next seat, two girls on a Germantown
train were discussing engagements.

1 really loved a man and he was poor
I would insist upon marrying him at
once, rather than submit to a long
engagement"
That's the way I feel" said the
girl with blue eyes. "The young man
who stays single until he can save
enough to get married on is up against
it. At least, that's what my brother
Jack says He says the trouble Is
that when a fellow is engaged to a
girl he wants to show her a good time
and the consequence is that he never
saves anything"
Jack is right" said the girl with
red hair, according to the Philadelphia
Record. Il know a case that proves
it. The girl has been engaged now for
eight years. Her 1ance Is in business
in New York, but he comes over to
visit her once a week.. He comes over
on Saturday afternoon and goes back
Monday morning. Saturday night he
always takes her to the theater. and
there's generally a supper afterward.

salary every week. Now r."

Married Men Fined So for Staying out
Late az NIaht.

'faf"
At Uelzen, a city in the western part
of Hanover. the authorities have Just
passed q law which has met with the
warm appreciation of the women of the
place and the Indignant protests of the
married men. The town was getting
altogether too cOnviviaL The old time
hOn0red EXCUSES Of 1.-THE lodge and
business and sitting up with a sick
friend" were worn %threadbare. The
women resolved to act. They exercised
all their influence with the city fathers
and finally got a law passed requiring
that all married men be home at or be-
fore IL o'clock every night. The pen
atty for a violation Of this law Is fixed
at a fine of So for each offense. Half
Of the fine goes to the person making
complaint, who, ina all cases so far, has
been the wife.
BY means Of this law the homes Of
Uelzen are expected to be ia an ideal
condition before long, and the wife's
authority therein unquestloned. If
hubby" forgets himself and stays out
after IL O'Clock some night the wife
can either have him fined and get her
share of the proceeds, or she can do
what is better-she can hold the knowl-
edge Of his law-breaking over mis- head
as a club with which TO enforce ODE
dience and good behavior generally.
Needless TO say, the married men Of
the neighboring German towns are
much exercised over the action of tine
city authorities of Uelzen, for the law
Is working so well there that they are
afraid II will prove contagious and
spread to their own borOughs. The UNI
married men of Uelzen, of course. are
as much pleased with the law as the
women of the town. They can now
stay out at night and enjoy themselves
free from the incubus of the old
f0gies.
