The Proper Way to Announce Marriage Engagements
d. Author of "The Etiquette of New York To-day"

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 II is, however, especially kind
and thoughtful Of young people to
write to the older relations, instead
of alloting that duty to their mothers.
ID 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 10
write the special notes. All of the
notes must be sent out together,
otherwise some sensitive persons
may feel offended if not informed
promptly. OF course, there is no
formula for notes of the 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
ana termination: Il 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.
It 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
announcement at luncheon, dinner
or other entertainment, it is not cor
rect. II must be remembered that

Manuel is sensitive to color, to sound.
Certain shades of red make him, oh, so
triste, so 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
a color. | adore red" and she had her
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
coffee for him, Manuel's soul became
triste, for the china was red and the
brides negligee was a red chiffon
When Manuel got up from the table
and threw his cup on the floor, did the
princess blame herself? But non. She
scolded Manuel for his bad temper,
Manuel does not like Wagnerian music.
He loves the lighter Italian and French
music. He adores American ragtime.
The princess plays badly, and always the
rumbling music of Wagner.
When Manuel stormed, the princess
banged the poor piano harder and said
ut is my piano, and it is my money
which pays for this splendOr about us
l shall play what / please. You are
merely my husband, not my master. not
even my equal"
Was it any wonder that Manuel fed
to Paris for a two days respite from so
much matrimony? His trip made the
princess very angry. She thought he
had fed to join some Paris beauty, when
he only wanted to get away from the red
boudoir, the red china and the piano.
The princess is a careful hausfrau.

The engagement ring is worn when

By MRS. FRANK LEA

tn many of the older countries a
betrothal is a serious rite, con
Quoted with certain solemnity
1t is considered binding and is cele-
brated with the assembling and re-
joicing of relations and friends. Gifts
are bestowed almost as freely on the
Oride-elect as for a 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
a betrothal tremendously. An en-
gagement is of vital Importance
and, like marriage, is not to be en-
tered into lightly. Young people
sometimes form engagements too
easily, without sufficient thought
and are ready to break them for
slight reasons.
Although the days of an engage
ment are full of happiness and hope
and plans for the future, there should
be recognition of duties to the world
and not a selfish and unwholesome
absorption in each other.
A mans duty is to state frankly
TO 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
shall be announced, but it is best to
have it made known without un.
necessary delay. provided the young
girls parents have consented. or
course the initiative in the announce
ment is taken by the young girls
family. \ man may not make known
his engagement, except to his par
ents. until tn" young girls family

- rOU ask me, Gaby Deslys, why the
" marriage of Manuel and his Ger
L man princess has come to what
you in America would call the grand
smash-up To answer this question, I
must not only go deep into the psychol-
Ogy of Manuel and of his bride, but !
must take into consideration the very
peculiar incidents and conditions which
Door Manuel encountered in his court
ship of the German Princess Augusta OF
Hohenzollern.
Am | surprised that Manuels wife re
fuses to live with him after a four
weeks trial? But now rather would !
be surprised if she did continue to be his
wife. They are psychologically unfit to
live together. Manuel is utterly incapa-
BILE of playing successfully the irksome
role of husband. There is no one who
knows Manuel better, more intimately,
than do. Who knows his every mood
so intimately as /, Gaby Deslys?

Manuel is the last man in the world

fact that he is expected to show devotion
to a definite woman, whether he wanted
to or not, is just the thing to send him
flying from her even though it cost him
a throne or fortune. We have a saying
in Southern France, where | was born,
that love dies when the man is tied.
manuel, dS Sdlu 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
ardor with which he had embraced his
fiancee. 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
it. The whole thing was psychological.
Then again, Manuel is very impatient Of
control. He is stubborn, and the more
he is opposed, the more stubborn and
impatient he becomes.
He is generous. All, who knows better
than the generous nature of this little
king! 1t is his nature to desire to
shower the one he loves with gifts. He
must always be the lordly benefactor.

Father ever was a-blowing
OF his skill with carving knife;
Carving goose no one could beat him
Well, you better bet your life!
He would swing the knife before him,
Make quick stabs at empty air
And go through the carving process
As If gander was right there.
"Boy." he said, "go buy fat goose
must teach to you the trick.
You will surely be accomplished
II at carving you are slick
ASK the preacher too, to dinner.
He thinks he can carve a goose.
Well, he'll see an exhibition
When your papa, dear, cuts loose"
So 1 went and bought a gander.
Must have been in Noah's ark;
He was tougher than sole leather
Tanned and retained in oak bark.
Father sharpened up the carver.
Swung 1t round and round in air;
Then he went for that old gander
With a w-you-watch-me air.
Whangl The knife bounced back from
gander
Gander made wondrous spring
And went bouncing round the table
Really like living thing,
Whacked the preacher on the bald top.
Smeared Aunt Sarah's best silk dress,
Splashed the preachers wife with gravy
And just made an awful mess.

No woman should consider herself
healthy and well if the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass off in the
secretions when the Kidneys are well,
are retained in the body when the kid
neys are disordered. If the kidneys
and bladder become infamed and swollen
worse troubles may quickly follow.
This is often the cause of bearing down
pains, lameness, backache. etc. Uric
poisoning is also frequent cause of head
aches, dizzy spells, langour, nervous
ness and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kidney
Pills, remedy that has proven effective
in thousands of such cases Let Mt

WHITE COCHIN COCK.

White, like the others. is really fan
cier's fowl To get true Cochin shape,
color and feathering is an art.
They have good utility points, but
can't keep up to the fast, new breeds
or active fowls like Leghorns. Their
great size means slow maturity, slow
movement. Their profuse feathering
means great feather growth and mod
crate egg output.
A real White Cochin is much like a
big fluffy SNOWFALL.
This rotundity is made by the exces-
sive, loose, downy underfiuff, which, in
true breds, Is three-fourths of the en-
tire plumage; the neck, back, saddle,
tail, breast, underbody, fluff, wings.
