A young man is very much in love
with a beautiful young girl. 1t will be
several years, however. before he will be
in a position to safely undertake the
! responsibilities of matrimony. and he
wishes to know whether he should Geek
to tie her to him by long engagement
or not
I say no. A thousand times. no. A
long engagement Is always a mistake.
1t is not fair to the man and 1t Is little
less than suicide for the girl.
A long engagement is unfair to both
parties because II creates an anomalous
situation in which the unhappy couple
are neither fish, nor flesh. nor good
red herring. They are bound. yet free.
They are free. yet bound. They feel
that their fate is settled and yet that
it is indefinite. They have the respon-
sibilities of matrimony without its
peace. They consider that they have
the rights of a husband or wife to mo-
nopolize the party OF the other part,
but they have no right to enforce their
claims.
This nerve-racking position of the
long engaged Is particularly hard on
the girl. She is a maiden robbed OF the
fun of her maidenhood. She is wife
without a husband and a bill payer.
She Is a widow without freedom or in
surance money or alimony. She is
perpetual Sister Anne on the housetop
with her eyes continually strained
looking for the return 10 a lover who
may or may not come back.
Little as lovers like to admit 1t, this
is changing world, and our fancies,
and our tastes and our affections are
the most variable things in 1t. The
girl who appears to a man to be the
most desirable creature on earth one
year. may look to him like a remnant
that he wouldn't take home on a bet
two years later if he were free to make
his choice of a wife. The man who
was the ideal of all her dreams this
year. may attract a woman as little
next season, as her last summers hat
Yet the man and the girl may be
just the same. just as good looking,
just as intelligent, just as worthy. just
as much entitled to be loved. 1t Is
only that we have lost our taste for
them. q
Dead Sure In Comparison.
Marriage is spoken of as a lottery,
but 1t is a dead sure thing compared
to the chances one takes in entering
into a long engagement In that one
dices indeed, with fate wit ha hundred
to one chances against him or her.
Take the case of a young man who
starts forth in the world to seek his
fortune bound by an engagement to
some girl back home. At the time of
the engagement they suit each other
perfectly. They have the same tastes

overtaking the married? II often hap
pens. as Is witnessed by the many di-
vorces, but the danger is not so great.
because for one thing. a husband and
wife, living in tho same environme mt,
generally develop together. Also they
have the bond of common interest.
They have an identical OBJECT, ana that
Is as strong tie as can bind two peo-
pie together. Likewise, their fate is
signed. sealed and delivered. and they
have that sense of finality which gener-
ally keeps their fancies from roaming.
There Is still another objection 10
the long engagement and that Is that
It robs romance Of its finest flavor.
1t rubs the gilt off the gingerbread of
niatrimony. and 8 couple sit down to
their wedding feast with small appetite
for their cake. They know each other
too well. They have had too many
spats and quarrels, and making UP, to
have any illusions left about each
other. They are like a divorced cou-
pie who try II a second time.
No Chains, No Fetters.
The man or girl who love each other.
but who may not marry at once, may
confess their love and have an under
standing that when the time comes,
II they are still in the same frame of
mind. they will enter the holy estate
together, but that is as far as they

gagement, no chains, no letters. The
man should keep himself free to come
back or not as he pleases. The girl
should be free to enjoy her girlhood

the anxious seat.

KITCHEN ECONOMIES
BY Isobel Brands, OF the Apple
croft Experiment Station,

For the quick home luncheon, what
Is more satisfying than the omelet dish
It can be made sweet. pungent, light
for the mild appetite or blended with
cheese or Ash or some other substan-
tial food so that II is solid enough even
for the outdoor worker.
There are two kinds OF omelets.
One Is the so-called plain omelet
which we know as a light. fluffy affair
and In which the white OF eggs and
yolks are beaten separately and finally
folded together.
The second type Of omeiet, In which
the, whites and yolks are beaten to-
gether.
Plain omelet.
I eggs.
I tablespoonfuls OF water.
Q tablespoonfuls OF butter.
u teaspoonful of salt.
Y teaspoonful of pepper.
\ Dash of paprika.
Separate the whites and yolks CT the
eggs and beat each well. Add the sea :
sonings to the yolks and fold In the
whites. Heat the butter in the omelet
pan and cook the egg mixture slowly
a few minutes. As soon as 1t sets III
1t up and let more Of the egg mixture
run next to the pan. When almos,
cooked fold over and brown on both
sides. Serve at once.
II the omelet Is to have a filllng Of
jelly or minced chicken or ham OF
other foods this should be poured over
the omelet before 1t is folded. Jelly IL
simply spread on the omelet. but minced
chicken or minced meat OF any kind
oysters, shrimps or other foods, should
first be moistened with a little cream
sauce and then spread over the omelet
when finally cooked.
For a sweet omelet less salt should
be used and no pepper. and little
powdered sugar may be mixed with the
omelet before cooking.
The second type of omelet Is made
after practically the same directions
except that the yolks and whites are
beaten together and. naturally, this is
not so puffy or large an omeiet. II Is
more quickly prepared, however, and
like the other may be served with a
variety of other foods to give II addi-
tional substance.
If cheese is to be added, sprinkle
grated cheese over the omelet just be-
fore folding. cook less than a minute.
for the heat OF the omelet will quickly
melt the cheese, and II cooked too long
It will become tough and inedble.
Using Vegetables.
Leftover vegetables may be mixed
with little cream sauce and used as
the stuffing of either of these types Of
omelet.
Or, II desired. the additional foods
may be cooked as a separate sauce to
be poured over the plain omelet. This
can be handled more easily and makes
1t possible to serve more of the addi-
tional dressing than II the omelet Is
stuffed with It, A piquant sauce Is
made by frying together onion, tomato
green peppers. and. If possible, a few
minced mushrooms, either fresh or
canned. Minced ham, chicken. chicken
liver, fried bacon can be made into a
delicious sauce by mixing with the or
binary cream sauce and then pouring
hot over the omelet.
Another delicious dish is tomatoes
and omelet. prepared by frying thick
slices of tomato in butter and then
placing around the hot omelet. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper and garnish with
a few sprigs OF parsley.

SENATOR'S URGED ID TAKE STAND
Prominent Citizens IndOrse President Wilson and the
 League of Nations

Resolutions demanding that the two United States senators from Alabama support President Wilson and the league ot nations were adopted at a meeting held in the private dining room of the Tut wler hotel last night About 40 men from a dozen or more counties were pres ent and speeches were made by several men well known in the state.
 The meeting had been called by John R, Hornady, member of the Birmingham city commission, for the purpose of start ing movement to chrystalize sentiment in the state in favor of the league of na tions and to bring pressure to bear on the two senators to vote for the ratificatio of the covenant when President Wilson brings it back from Paris.
 Eloquent and forceful speeches were made by former United States Senator Frank S. White of Birmingham, w. C.. Davis of Jasper. Judge w. W. Brandon of Tuscaloosa, Fritz Thompson of Bibb county, W. D. Nesbitt of Birmingham, State Senator Watt Brown of St. Clair county, Harry NJ Ayers of Anniston, J. R. Kennamer of Birmingham, president of the United Mine Workers district No. 20, George McEldery of Talladega, and Senator Charles West of Birmingham.
 In calling the meeting to order Mr. Hornady stated that it's purpose was to give expression to the views of the people of Alabama on the league of nations in order that their senators, who will vote upon it when it comes before the United States Senate may know how they stand.
 Fritz Thompson of Bibb county intro duced a resolution setting out that in view of the bitter attacks being made by some senators on President Wilson for his at- tempts to bring about a league of na- tions, and the silence of other senators, had tendency to show a lack of unity on the part of the people of the country, it was necessary to call upon the people of Alabama to let the world know how they stand on the question.
 The resolution called upon the two sem ators to correct such false impression by at once taking a positive stand and at- lively support the President on this issue. The resolution was adopted by unanimous vote.
