.A WISE DECISION UPSET

t ' A Virginia court held, with a fine show ot reason, it seemed, that all right, title, and interest in an engagement ring does not necessarily vest ill the fair gcrson wto wears it until it is sup plemented with wedding ring from the original grantor. She merely held the emblem of betrothal by right of her plighted word to wed at some fit and proper time the person of the first part--lneaning the fellow--and in the event this condition precedent to title in fee simple was faithfully consummated, then the title vested absolutely in the grantee, her heirs and assigns, forsver; but not otherwise. This astute and highly important ruling came as the re- suit of an attempt by an Old Dominion swain to replevy diamond ring held despite his protest in the hands of a fair creature whose love had grown cold, whose matrimonial pledge had been withdrawn, but whose desire to retain the sparkler was greater than her courage to part with it peacefully.
 Young men ars easy marks at this season and part with engagement rings quite cheerfully, if handled properly. Their faith in womankind is beautiful to see, and should not be subjected to rude jolts and jars. It should be clear ly understood that while an engagement ring may be a lovely thing in feminine eyes, the tariff on them is pretty high, and they generally come one ill box, and the boxes few ard far between; and that the person intrusted with the custody of one is only temporary guardian of the same in right of law, and can orly obtain undisputed title at the hymeneal altar itself. All this is equity, if not law.
 Primarily, good taste would suggest it. Then, it should rot be permissible to withdraw one's affections and also retain the proofs positive of conquest to dangle gloatingly before the eyes of their girl friends, any of whom might ! engage tho subsequent admiration of the man involved. It snacks too much of the, barbaroas scalplock customs among the Indians. Moreover, there is hypothetical but not utterly improb- able gentleman who should receive the far-reac1 ing protsction of the court in the case cited hercin--the party of the second parts future. husband. If the party of the second, part be allowed to keep her engagement ring other rings of like persuasion she might here after accumrlate-she might if j she would, and she very probably would, make life exceedingly unattractive to the last aforesaid male person through the ostentatious display at certain psy- chological moments her kind recognizes Tall too unerringly. Suppose she wanted e. S6o hat and her husband had only scant $S,42 in bank. He would seek gently to dissnade her; she would weep. And out would come the rings to show how she might have married Tom, Dick, or Harry, had she not been so silly as to turn them down for the heartless brute then facing her, and soforth ard so on!
 Oh most excellent Virginia judgel Oh most wise and erudite judge! Oh cruel higher court that upset you!

PLAN TO OIL GEORGIA AVENUE
PROPOSAL TO MAKE FINE AUTO
MOBILE BOULEVARD.
Expense to Be Borne by Members
Of Auto Club-Would Cost
About 1000.

With the object OF making Georgia ave-
nue. a great automobile boulevard
and having in view the raising of funds
among members of the Automobile Club
and others interested to oil the avenue
throughout its entire length. Gist Blair
has asked the Commissioners to report
what the cost Of the work would be.
He will be told that the oil for Georgia
avenue from the end of the asphalt pave
ment at Park road to the District line
would cost S2O54. but that inasmuch as
the District is oiling some Of the streets
the money necessary to be raised by out
slders will be $1.O92
"Since my conference with you." says
Mr.. Blair In his letter to Commissioner
West II have conferred with the presi-
dent of the Automobile Club on Georgia
avenue and others concerning the possi-
bility of raising money to oil this great
thoroughfare to the District line, and
have been much encouraged by their In
terest in the subject.
.They appreciate most highly the offer
of the District government to authorize
us to use their wagons and labor to lay
this oil on the surface OF the street. l
have been requested to submit an author
itative statement which will enable US
to show how much money will be neceS-
sary to purchase the oil. This involves,
first, an accurate knowledge of the di-
mensions of the surface of Georgia ave-
nue. from Florida avenue, Or from the
point of that street where the paving
ceases, to the District line; second. the
amount of oil required to properly cover
this surface and its cost per gallon. May
I request the Commissioners to have the
department under them answer these
questions to enable me to submit the fig
ures to the gentlemen who are willing to
cooperate with me in this matter"
In response to q request from Commits
sioner West, L. r. Grabill. superintendent
of county roads, has made a report, as
follows:
BASED on the application OF 'tarvia b.
the cost OF material for the entire mac
adamiZed portion OF Georgia avenue north
Of Park road would be 31,6OO gallons at
6ls cents per gallon, or $2,O54. OF this
road, the distance from Park road to
Longfellow street (Brightwood Park) is
now being given an application OF road Oil
which will last for at least part OF the
season. The remaining distance from
Longfellow street to the District line will
require 1890 gallons at 61e cents per gal
Ion. and amount to $1.O92. The cost Of
standard road oil would be about the
same.
These applications would probably last
the rest Of the season and would require
some watering In dry weather.
'The cost OF liquid asphalt, which is
more durable, would be about double the
above. 1t would last well into next year"
Capt. Markham, assistant to the Engin-
eer Commissioner, declared that Tor mere
superficial treatment the ''tarvia b. has
given most satisfactory results.
