The Proper Way to Announce Marriage Engagements
BY MRS. FRANK

TN many OF the older countries n
petrothal is a serious rite, con-
Quoted with certain solemnity.
1t is considered binding and is cele-
DRAFTED with the assembling and re-
Jolclng Of relations and friends. Gifts
are bestowed almost as freely on the
Dride-elect rs for wedding.
There is no custom of the sort in
our own society, although something
might be learned from the ancient
and dignifed method Of recognizing
Detrothal tremendously. An en-
sagement is of vital Importance,
ana, like marriage, is not to be en-.
tered into lightly. Young people
sometimes form engagements too
easily, without sufficient thought,
ana are ready to break them for
slight reasons.
Although the days of an engage.
ment are full Of happiness and hone
and plans for the future, there should
De recognition of duties to the world
and not a selfish and unwholesome
absorption in each other.
A mans duty is to state frankly
10 girls parents everything about
his prospects, circumstances and the
ability to support wife and ask
their consent to the engagement.
1t is optional when the engagement
snail be announced, but 1t Is best to
nave it made known without I'M
necessary delay, provided the young
GIFTS parents have consented. or
course the initiative in the announce
ment Is taken by the young girls
FAMILY. man may not make known
MS engagement, except to his par
ents, until the young girls family
are ready to announce It.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-10-19

The proper and the recognized
custom in the world of society in re-
gard to announcing an engagement
is that the two mothers should write
notes to the older members of their
respective families and to the older
friends, and that the engaged pair
should write to friends Of their own
age. 1t Is. however, especially kind
and thoughtful of young people to
write to the older relations, instead
OF alloting that duty to their mothers.
1t Is advisable to make list of the
friends and relations who are sup
posed to be interested in the news
of the engagement and to decide to
whom shall be delegated the duty to
write the special notes. All of the
notes must be sent out together
otherwise some sensitive persons
may feel offended il not informed
promptly. OF course, there ia no
formula for notes esathe sort. They
should be brief, simple and natural
In expression, and, necessarily, they
vary according to intimacy or friend
ship. Words Of this sort may be
used, with the required beginning
and termination: 81 wish you to be
among the first to know of my en-
gagement to -" or, if a mother is
writing, it is obvious that the terms
are changed.
1t should be distinctly understood
that telephone messages announcing
an engagement are not good form
and not customary among those who
wish to do things with delicacy and
dignity.
No matter what others may say
about the possibility Of making an
announ cement at luncheon, dinner
or other entertainment, 1t is not cor
rect. 1t must be remembered that

ne Etiquette of New York To-day."


we have not betrothal ceremonial,
and there is decided lack OF dignity,
propriety and delicacy In making an
unexpected or a premeditated an
nouncement before assembled guests
and before the young people them
selves.
The engagement ring is worn when
the engagement Is announced. Tho
ring need not be a solitaire. Colored
gems are used, usually In combina-
tion with diamonds, the sapphire
being a favorite. Much depends on
a mans means as to the choice of a
ring. A girls own good sense will
not allow her to receive what her
nance cannot afford to give.

10 the bride-elect, expressing their
pleasure and interest in the engage

come for visit. OF course, 1t is gen
orally understood that it is not allow
able for girl to make visit at the
home OF her future husband unless
invited by his mother personally or
by letter and very explicitly. A mes-l
sage sent through another personj
cannot be considered a proper invi.l
tation. Strict etiquette Is safe In anil
engagement. The more punctilious
a girl or man may be in their rela1
tionship toward each family the bet

Is that young people who are en-
gagged may not travel about alone.
nor do they go to public places, thea
tres or restaurants alone. Wherever
they may be well-bred young people
are careful not to be conspicuous
by demonstratiye attentions to EACH

Manuel is sensitive to color. to sound.
Certain shades OF red make him, oh, so
tr1ste, 80 out OF humor with the world.
But green's and blues and pale yellows
make him happy. The Princess Au-
gustina knew this, but she said: How
foolish, how womanly to be angry with

boudoir done over in just the shade Of
red that Manuel hates. And she had
several red gowns made! The morning
after the wedding. when she poured his
conee for him, Manuel's soul became
triste, for the china was red, and the
brides negligee was red chiffon!
When Manuel got up from the table
and threw his cup on the floor, did the
princess blame herself? But non She

u man princess has come to what
you In America would call the grand
smash-up. To answer this question, l
must not only go deep into the psychol-
ogv of Manuel and of his bride, but
must take into consideration the very
peculiar incidents and conditions which
poor Manuel encountered in his court
shin of the German Princess Augusta of
Jiohenzollern.
Am l surprised that Manuel's wife re-
fuses TO live with him after a four
weeks trial? But now rather would l

never be happy in what that amusing
Anthony Hope calls double harness."
I knew that so perfect lover as Manuel
SIS could never make a good husband.
And knowing the mind OF the German
princess and her temperament, or, rather
her lack of temperament, I knew, alas,
that Manuel would never be happy and
that his marriage would be short and
not sweet.
Manuel is delightful lover. Yes, he
is very young for such perfection, but he
is Latin and king, and they learn to
love and to accept love In their cradles
But the perfect lover never makes the
perfect husband. The perfect lover must
feel free to love where he pleases. He
can never settle down in the bonds of
matrimony. At least not until he is fifty
or more.
Manuel is the last man in the world
TO make marriage of convenience. The
fact that he is expected to show devotion
10 definite woman, whether he wanted
TO or not. is just the thing to send him
flying from her even though 1t cost him
throne or fortune. We have a saving
in Southern France, where was horn
that love dies when the man is tied.
Manuel as said when his engagement
was told me. is not the man to kiss to
embrace to order. Embracing matrimony
and embracing his wife are two different
things. The minute Manuel found him
SELF married, he began to chafe. He
could not embrace his wife with the
eroor with which he had embraced his
fancee. Whenever occasion required
him to display affection, he unconsciously
turned cold and rigid. Where he should
have pressed forward he unconsciously
stepped back
Alas. poor Manuel. he could not help

impatient he becomes.

Manuel does not like to have
