Who Takes the Initiative.

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly advise me how to
act? If a fellow proposes to a girl In
the presence of her parents, is 1t
proper to kiss after the parents and
girl consent. and If so, whose place is
it to walk over2 Is it proper for the
girl to walk over to the fellow and
kiss him, or Is the fellow supposed to
walk over to the girl and kiss her? We
expect to announce our engagement in
two weeks. Is any gift proper to give
but a diamond ring? And If SO, when
is 1t proper to give the ring, before
the party so she can wear 1t to the
party. or in the presence of all the
guests? Thanking you in advance, /
am, yours
1t is quite customary to seal the en-
gagement with a kiss, and it woul be
perfectly proper for the young man to
walk over and kiss the young lady in
the presence of her parents after they
have given their consent to the engage
ment. A diamond ring is not absolute
ly necessary as an engagement present.
Any other kind of a ring can be given,
and unless the young man can afford to
give a diamond ring 1t would be much
better to give something else in jewelry
and present her with a diamond ring
later. Give it to her before the party
and not before the guests.

Getting On.
by Barbara Boyd

' get o. is the ambition Of nearly everybody. In fact the person who
has no desire to get o is considered a rather worthless sort of indi
Woual yet getting on surely has more interpretations than the one
usually given IT. for getting o means generally only in a material way. The
salesgin struggles to get or that is to gel a better position and more salary
Inc lawyer considers he is getting OF when he secure more clients and
earn more income. The business mar is getting on when his business in
creases pleasingy. The society woman is getting on when she penerates
more exclusive or more fashionable circles. Getting on, in the accepted
sense, IS always allied to increasing ones worldly advantages. And the one
h doesn't get O. n in this way is apt % consider herself a failure.
But is this the only way in which III ian get on, and is it the finest
way? Surely to get on in character, to get on in mental attachments, is more
worth while.
The salesgrl who fails to get on to a better position or higher salary.
may be building into her character, seadastness patience, sef-control and
the large vision of what is worth while. Surely she is getting on.
The lawyer, though his clients may not grow numerically, may himself
be growing in a knowledge of the fine and beautiful things of ife-music,
art literature, philosophy, nature. Surely he is getting on, and getting on
In a far better way than If he were only adding to his bank account
