She now accepts the company OF other men.
She receives very encouraging letters from
a man and sometimes answers in the
same spirit. She has also kissed him.
Is this the right thing for her 10 do when
she has promised to be true and wait for
me? Could the promise be regarded as an
engagement? II I acted right / would
have nothing more to do with the girl. but
I do not want 10 let her go because love
her too much. II. V. c.
II is evident that the young woman Is
not sincere in her promises to you.
advise you to have a talk with her and
ask her II she wishes to be released
from the promises made. Such promises
should not ne made unless the young
man has asked the woman to be his
wife. Under these circumstances an en-
gagement exists. If the young woman
does not care 10 wait, release her and
then when you are in a condition TO
make her your wife you may be able

WEARING JEWELRY

z THINK that the topic Of my little
talk today is of great Importance. It
is subject of which there is lament
able ignorance. and this state of af-
fairs exists, OF course. among women.
for they are the jewel bearers. From
the remote ages women have decked
themselves with jewels. AS the CEN
turtles have rolled away, certain set
of rules have evolved which are recOg-
nized by women Of good taste and are
ignored by those who lack a certain
sense OF the fitness OF things.
First of all. let me speak TO my girls
who are business WOmen-Wage -earners.
Whether you be In an office, store or
In any OF the professions that women
should wear as little jewelry as possible
during working hours. JeWelry is for
the 'playtime' Of groWn-ups. II belongs
with the more ornate dress that women
wear at formal occasions, not with the
letter file, the forcepS or the order book.
1t has no more right 10 be seen during
working hours than chiffon dance
frOck, or a decOllete gown, or long
white gloves. Any little pins that are
ornamental but primarily useful are
all right a watch chain is much better
II IL be a plain black ribbon. A follow
ing Of a certain scheme OF color is al
ways good; for instance, blue pins with
your blue tailored suit, silver with your
gray, and so on.
Do not rob the drawer Of every gift
that you ever had. An indiscriminate
mixture shows ignorance. Be careful
not TO look like an animated advertise
ment for the best limitations" that very
rarely deceive any one.
Keep diamonds and pearls for all for
NAL dinners and entertainments after
6 which is the signal, you know. for
evening dress. Never under any circum-
stances wear these expensive stones be-
fore that time-and by all means eschew
their limitations.
Err on the side OF too little jewelry
rather than too much. An ostentatious
show OF just how much one woman can
wear at a time is vulgar. The glitter OF
a hand loaded with rings takes us back
to the days when women dressed to at
tract men. Indeed. We are accused Of
doing that now.
But let your jewels speak for your
refinement in dress. and never lose sight
of the fact that a beautiful thing can be
overdone and that consistency rs the
best jewel OF all.
