A young girl who is now in the
senior class of the high school went
east to spend part of her summer
vacation, and came home wearing a
diamond ring on the telltale finger.
Her people demonstrated with her,
pointing out to her that she couldn't
possibly know what she wanted at her
age, and that she was entirely too
young to consider marriage. She
bIithely assured them that she would
not get married until she was plenty
old enough but she liked to feel safe
and sure that she wasn't going to be
an old maid. An engagement at seven
teen may not be a positive guarantee
against perpetual maidenhood, but like
a wooden leg, it's better than none at
all.
