french women, as a whole, are IN

particularly so. They take an allah

The question of age is one which in

which they will not go in the question

Another point of intense interest to
the average French woman is the dis
covery of her neighbours "dot," or
dowry. No French girl every dreams
of getting married without a dowry.

Adoice to Girls
By Betty BroDn

Dear Betty Brown: For several
years | was engaged to a young man,
and in the winter we broke our en-
sagement / had given him several
handsome pieces of jewelry, includ-
ng a watch fob. He gave me beau
iful bracelet and ring which has
been in his family for some time.
iesitated to return this because he
owed money not only to me, but to
my mother, brother, and several
friends. He has never said anything
lbout his debts, and has written me
several letters asking me to write to
him. In one he requested me to re-
turn the ring, as it had been in the
'amily so long. In the second he said
I was behaving in a very unladylike
manner in not returning the ring.
Now, l do not want the ring, the
bracelet, or any of the trinkets he has
given me, but l do not think he has
my right to ask me for the ring when
he has all that gave him and owes
ny family so much. l shall have to
pay his debts if he does not, for 1
would not let my friends think badly
of him. Jesse
You are not gaining anything by
keeping the ring, unless you intend to
sell 1t to pay your ex-fiances debts
which you probably would not do. It
is the customary thing to do, of course,
70 return all jewelry that has been
given when an engagement is broken.
Hence. the young man is just as much
1t fault in not giving you the watch
Job and other presents you bought
him as you have been for not return
ng his jewelry.
Write to him, suggesting that if he
wishes you to return the ring yor
would like to have your gifts returned
n the same letter you may remint
lin of his debts. 1t is unfair for yol
% have to make up for his remissness
You are really fortunate to hav
broken your engagement with thi
young man, my dear, for a man VIII
would stoop to borrow from his {
ancee's family will be likely to hav
acquired habit that is hard to breal
He wouldn t be very self-reliant pc

make the wrong things right. that
can turn weeping into laughter. that
can give beauty for ashes. the gar

of night.
Save for the beautiful memories

perfume Of roses. In the heart Of the

And the other day I do not worry
about is Tomorrow. Tomorrow. with
