years my senior He makes $23

marry on that amount? He calls
to see me three times a week,
and has never broken an en-
gagement with me. He thinks a
great deal OF my girl friend,
and have heard he goes to see
her.
Do you think we will be hap
py-we are to be married next
week?

runors You have heard stand In
the way Of your happiness. are your
hope not. anyway. Why. you
ought to trust him for the very
reason that he has never broken an
engagement with you. Heaven
knows how many letters I receive
from girls whose friends have
broken engagements with them, and
your case is a delightful exception.
Dear Miss Laurie: am a
young man twenty-five years old

a girl that we are to become en-
gagged next winter, II by that

NEW YORK. Aug 6.-Madame lie
Mode has a perfect passion this sum-
mer for masquerading in rural raj
ment and adapting to her perverse
purposes all the quaint and primitive
sartorial devices Of the peasantry.
In reckless manner she has shown
that one touch of bodice makes
princess and peasant kin. In fact
this comic opera girdle of laced
black velvet may be said to have
struck a note of equality by being
half way of peeress and also half
way of a peasant with equally pleas
ing results. Not being confined to
the upper, lower or middle classes
exclusively it has confined the middle
Of all.
Many a last summers frock has
been freshened up to 1915 standards
by simply adding the peasant girdle
or bodice with Its cord or ribbon
laces.
Then there is the popue- smock
like the gardener and Greta, the
gardeners girl, wear when they go

nothing of the vide brinlnled foppy
