Of infantile paralysis in the city. so you

Mrs. Rob Griffiths entertained at lunch
con today for the bridesmaids of the
Toy xuaddfraD daM0hfer
Mrs. Neddy Page, is to be in the bridal
party, which reminds me I hear the
cavalry will not return as soon as the
infantry from the border, which is a bit
hard on the little brides. Mrs. Page
has been enormously spoken Of as
war bride. which is rather foolish, con-
sidering her engagement to Neddy was
announced long before there was any
idea that things were going to get any
more serious in Mexico and the wedding
was to have taken place this coming
month, so naturally it was easy enough
to hurry things when the call came for
the troops to go to the border, and there
was certainly no sudden engagement and
rushed marriage, which is the general
way for q war bride. To go back to the
Earle wedding entertaining this evening,
Pater and Mater Earle will give dinner
at their Bryn Mawr home for the whole
party and tomorrow the Claytons will en-
tertain at supper.
One hates to hear of broken engage
ments, yet II is so much better for girl
to break her engagement than through
lack Of moral courage allow 1t to go on
without love. heard of a little happen
ing this summer which concerned two
persons who were engaged and who for
some reason spent the entire summer
without seeing each other. Well, as time
came to return to town the girl in the
case suddenly realized that she had not
missed him a bit all summer. and fortu-
nately she did the obvious. honest thing
sat down and wrote to him and told him
the truth, that she had discovered that
she had not missed him a bit and had
had a wonderful time without him. 1t
may have been bit hard on her per-
sonai vanity. but his answer told her
that her letter had been perfect god
send. as he had gone through the same
experience and had been afraid to tell
her, and SO had decided he would be a
sport and go through with 1t. And they
are both living happily ever after and are
sgood friends. which is greatly to the
point, don't you think7
Not that would advocate breaking
an engagement for small reasons or a
mere whim, but II two persons md that
they do not care for each other It's so
much better TO make the break before
marriage than to regret IL afterward
