THE PRICE on AN ENGAGEMENr RING
BY DOROTHY DIX,

How much is 1t worth to be engaged

that $1,000 per annum is no more than
fair compensation.
For 20 years she was wooed by n
dilatory lover who coufted and eourted.

eventually espoused another, Now the
forsaken maiden asks the courts to
award her damages at the rate Of 81, 900

sweetness on the desert air.
When you take into consideration the
wear and tear on hope, and the strain

and the price of coal and electric light
In these days of the high cost of live

Being engaged is a luxury n man should
be willing to pay for. and It is a pity
that when Cupid renders his little ac-

get In is to write a simple little story
about something odd-something you
have not e about elsewhere and send

The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-10-31

hcbo she deserves to suffer for her
stupidity. 1t is another matter where
young girls are concerned, and many
a young woman who started out with
bright prospects of making a good
match owes her collapsed matrimonial
book to the man whose love making
never leads to the altar.
We often wonder why such and such
a girl whose beauty and wit render her
unusually charming, is drifting into old
maidenhood and establishing themselves
lin life. Ninety-nine times out of a
hundred the answer Is because she has
been silly enough to tie herself up in
an endless engagement to some man
who either does not wish to assume
the responsibilities Of marriage, or else
is In no position to do SO.
The managing mamma has been
much derided in public prints, but in
real life a mother who knows her bust
ness is the most useful possession any
girl can have, n her first care should
be to see that her daughter does not
get tracked into one of these senti-
mental pockets.
There is nothing to be said in favor
of the long engagement, 1t rubs the
bloom off of romance. 1t becomes a
burden, and it ties two people together
with a bond that sooner or later be-
gins to chafe, and that one of the other
would break if they had the courage
to 90 so,
Especially Is 1t a hardship on the
girl, Her ANONYMOUS position as neither
bond nor free, neither maid, wife, nor
widow gets on her nerves, and makes
her old before her time. Nor in the
end can she ever avoid the suspicion
that even when a man does, finally,
make good on his promise to marry
her that he is doing It because he is
a good sport, and hasn't the heart to
patient waiting.
Therefore, IL Is encouraging to see
a good stiff price being put on the
long engagement, Perhaps when il
costs as much to he engaged to a girl
as 1t does TO marry her, II will start
a matrimonial boom, n
