1t was the social side of affairs that
depressed Una. She had been used
to company, entertainments, slelghs

When her father died she had to

In the days Of long ago 1t was con-
sidered a perfectly dreadful thing to
break an engagement. and the girl
who did 80 had a sort Of stigma at
tached to her for the rest Of her days.
She was regarded as that most dread
full OF female mortals, "a heartless
jilt," and the other eligible young
women in the neighborhood we're
strongly warned against her by their
respective mamma and papas.
The result Of all this gossip and ex-
citement was that very few girls had
sufficient moral corage to face up the
neighborhood, brave criticism and
break OF their unfortunate engage
ments when they realize that they had
bestowed their affections wrongly, or
worse still, elsewhere! They would
listless.y drag on in some melancholy,
heart-breaking ENHANCEMENT, getting
thinner and paler every day, when a
few sensible, breezy. honest words
would have set the matter right for
eyer-and incidentally scandalized all
the good ladies of the neighborhood.
Another curious thing in the days of
long ago was that the men were never
hindered by any such delicate scruples
on the matter of heart-breaking. If
they felt like ending an engagement,
why, they just ended it then and
there, with no hesitation at all. No
indeed! They loved-and rode away,
Just as they felt like it. And the
maiden all forlorn was left with the
proud label of tilted" attached to her
really have more sympathy with
the men of olden days, selfish though
they undoubtedly were, than with the
women. For the women were so i'm
possibly foolish with their vapors

FASHION FORECAST.

The smartest collars and cuffs for
spring wear are made of satin, In
some of the exclusive shops the collar
portion is wired in the back. and
points are seen on all models.
The japanese influence in fashions
Is seen in many of the new gowns.
Embroidery in blue, black and white
is popular, and oriental effects are
used on the skirts and collars of navy
blue suits.
The faring skirts are extremely
trimmed with outstanding plated
nounces. This 2ives fullness without
being bulky.
A very notable reversion in street
gowns is the use of dark blue serge
or gabardine. Cirdies of royal purple
grosgrain ribbon embroidered in wood
en- beads are worn with this.
Perhaps the most interesting thing
In the fashions this season is the odd
way in which the new stocks are worn
In the days gone by their use was lin
tied to severely tailored blouse or q
close-neck skirt. Now they are seen
with everything.
Cotton dresses will be trimmed
with Cluny, valenciennes and nlet
lace.
Evening wraps in satin are not seen

Modern views on the subject OF

BROKEN ENGAGEMENTS

in letting things take the easy, drift
ing" course which will only mean ship.
wreck in the end.
1t is easy to drift. The Path OF
Least Resistance always is the easiest
But at the same time 1t is not always
the most honorable.
The girl who continues in an en-
gagement when her affection for her
fiance has died Is acting dishoncrably
She is deceiving him; she Is deceiv
ing everybody, and she Is running not
only her own chances Of happiness
but also those of the man. For the
drift from a loveless engagement into
q loveless marriage Is the most soul
killing thing a girl can do. She may
buoy herself up with the thought that
she Is sacrificing her own happiness
for the sake Of his. No greater mis-
calculation than this could possibly
be made. For once her husband finds
out that his wife does not love him,
but only married him Lecause she
hadn't the strength OF mind to hurt
him in breaking it off, he vii always
bear grudge against her, ana, in
realizing that he is unloved and has
been deceived in his wife's feeling for
him, will soon cease to love her at all
and will soon grow to dislike her.
Nothing cures love in man quicker
than hurt pride. And the man who is
tied to a woman who does not love
him suffers intensely from hurt pride
The engaged girl or the engaged
man who realizes that love has ceased
to enter into the agreement should
consider we'll before proceeding with
it. For love and love only is the only
sure foundation for happy and an
honorable marriage.
