Changing the Wedding Dale.

Dear Miss Iibbey: l have gentleman
pany for two years. We are engaged, and
had our wedding set for October, then
changed it for September. Do you think it is
bad ldck or any harm in it? Our wedding is
to be quiet; no one knows it but our fami-
lies We are to marry sooner on account of
disadvantages; lie has SO far to call and has
much better for is to marry earlier. What
should marry in? LULU
Personally, don't think there is any harm
in changing a wedding date, in spite of the
popular theory to that effect. If it is to your
advantage to change the date TO the first OF
September, | would advise you to change it.

that is always full of sweetmeats, no matter
how many are eaten? Or is it only a human

Do long engagements give young man and
