After the Announcement.

It would be ridiculous. to say that a
girl should be more careful OF her
manners at one time than at others,
but nevertheless 1t Is perfectly true
that girls actions are more likely
to be scrutinized and criticised on GER
tain occasions than on others. Per-
haps a girl is more apt to be crti-
cised during the early part of her en-
gagement than at other times. Every
small act of girl is under the sever
est inspection by the family and
friends of her future husband, and
especially If she has not been known
TO them before. 1t is an exceedingly
wise young woman who conducts her
self so that even the most critical
could find no fault.
II would seem unnecessary to say
that girl should not accept any at
tentions from any young men, yet
there are many young women who
make the foolish and seemingly harm
less mistake. 1t is not the place of a
young girl to make any ADVANCES to
the family of her fiance, except un-
der exceptional conditions. The the
DRY is that girl should watt to be
welcomed into the family to which
she will belong in the future. and II

The Massachusetts, Vote.

The fact is that the Republicans lost
larger percentage than usual OF
their normal vote. and the Democrats
not only held substantially the
strength which they had last year.
but increased It. In the towns the
Republicans lost exactly oue-half Of
the majority they had tn them last
year and came down 70 the cities with
only 25.o00 majority. which was re-
duced To 1.e00 By the Democratic vote
OF Boston. After that the vote in The
other cities determined the final re-
suit. There cannot b. too much praise
OF the efficient manner In which the
Democratic campaign was managed.
All along the line the Democrats sup
ported their party ticket with enthu-
siasm and were Justified in believing
up TO the last moment OF the cam
paign thar they were winners. As II
vas they came so near victory that
the Republican success Is not much
