GIRLS ENGAGEMENT

Still. there is nothing new in all this Women have
proved faithless time and again since the days Of
Lilith. and later of Helen, and it forty years
ago. Whereabouts, that Miss Flora AeFlimseys idea
of an engagement of marriage was exploited:
You know. I'm to polka much please
And ffrt when like-now stop; don't you speak;
Or talk TO either at party ball
But always be ready to come when I call
So don't prose TO me about duty and stuff;
If don't break this of there viii be time enough
For that sort of thing; but the margin must be
That long as choose am perfectly free;
For this is a sort of engagement you see
Which is binding on you. but not binding on me-"
Really and truly. when one comes to investigate
the twentieth century woman is far more inclined
to take a serious view of love and matrimony than
either her mother or grandmother appears to have
been. She may like admiration-which of us all men
women, do not?-but, as a rule, she has no desire
to pose breaker of mems hearts. She has vndi-
Gated for her the right remain single and she
has also abundantly proved TO the world that the
fact of not getting married. whether of neces-
sity or of choice, does not constitute a woman
crank or a bore. -Old maid is no longer a term of
reproach and for this if for naught else the bach
eior girl whatever may be her falings is product
of the twentieth century for which Woman with
big W. may well be thankful. Viewed even from
moral standpoint the girl of the 30s the maiden of
ready bushes and simple white muslin frocks who
was taught to regard every unmarried man who
crossed her horizon probable lover and a pos
sibe husband, was much forward MINK

law unto her herself, walks StTaghtly by that law
Such is most unlikely TO promise to marry
without the full intention of taking him for
better for worse
Nevertheless there are times when a promise is
far better broken than kept Half the miseTies that
develop in married life arise from the false estimate
which lovers form of each other. II is many times
better for them to know each others faults and fol-
lies beforehand. and to cry of from the bargain than
to ind the angel of cOurtsfip transformed into the
demon OF matrimOny. When the society columns OF
the newspaper announce that the marriage arranged
between Mr.. A and Miss win not take place one
wonders how much tragedy or comedy lies behind
the brief announcement In most cases the less said
the better, but there is usually the satisfaction of
knowing that two people have probably escaped the
scandal OF the divorce court later on. However diff
cult the situation may be- it is better TO confront it
bravely and to avow error than to drift unresist-
ingly to the goal of an unhappy marriage.
Neither 1t be insisted too often nor too stren-
uously that when an engagement is to be broken it
the womans right to the tie even though the
man may hand her the knife, he must do so under
the rose The reason is self-evident 1t may hurt
mans vanity; 1t may go far to break his
heart to be jilted but it does him no such harm in
the eyes of q censoTous world befalls the woman
