TO A GIRL ENGAGED.

Winnipeg Tribune: How asks Engaged" in letter to the editor WI is regarded as an authority on many subjects, can girl be sure the man she loves means all he says?"
 The cold hard fact about it is that she can't. Neither can he. Solomon, who knew a lot, said all men were liars; and human experience in the centuries since hasn't produced many reasons to change the verdict.
 Not necessarily wilful and deliber- ate liars-let's give them that bene- fit. But let's also be candid. A man in love is like man in drink-he's too intoxicated to be responsible for all he says.
 Do you suppose there ever was a man in love, from Adam down, who didn't swear by all the deities that he'd never let the woman take in washing to support him? Yet the wash tub supports almost as many homes as the pick and shovel.
 Circumstances change. When a fellow gets down to earth after his emotional tour of the stars he is apt to be practical and matter of fact. If he remembers his ecstatic prom ises at all, it is vaguely. The wise woman doesn't presume upon them. She just marks off the discount to profit and loss and thanks her luck if there's enough left to make the basis of a working agreement.
 No, dear, you cant believe all that Romeo tells you; but you can judge him fairly we'll on form. Is he kind to h's old mother? Has he good men friends who believe in him and trust him? Back of the froth and embroidery of his impassioned chat ter do you detect the rudiments of plain horse sens |? Has he shown gumption in tackling the business of making a living r two or more?
 If so, and you really love the chap. and would be willing to pare pota:; toes for him until death do you part, then we guess it's all right.--Ex.
