Thinks Long Time Engagements
More Suitable for Everybody

Is a whirlwind courtship q sue
cesstul one? Every day we read In
the daily pa( RS Of divorce proceed
ings resulting from hasty marriages.
Yet occasionally we run across de-
voted couples who have been happily
married for many years after ex'
tremely brief courtships.
Miss Katherine Macdonald. the
beautiful star Of Curtain" an in
deals with "love at first sight" ro-
nance and its results, believes that
long engagements between lovers is
the only safe way in which to enter
the holy state Of matrimony.
There Is an old saying" Miss
Macdonald explains, ~that you have
to live with people before you know
them. And this same truism~ applies
to matrimony. How can one expect
to be happy with q person whom they
do not know.

tricities and characteristics Of = per-

II, for one, am in favor Of long

In Curtain Miss Macdonald plays
the part Of a stage idol who is won
by a man OF wealth after a very
brief courtship. The result Of this
hasty wedding is disappointment and
great unhappiness for her until she
finds the solution Of her problem. 1t
