PHONE is SWANE'S BREACH
y or PROMISE INSURANCE


LONDON. March 31.-English girls
are anxious TO do away with breach
of PROMISE laws.
They say they cheat maiden out OF
her rightful heritage-love letters.
The new breach OF promise season
has begun in the courts here and each
hearing makes a careful man careful
Ter yet. Very few men will run the
risk OF addressing a really impassion-
ed epistle to the lady of his love these
days. They sound so ridiculous when
they're read out in court and repro
duced in the newspapers. The mod
ern lover puts his hearts desire TO the
labor OF reading between the lines"
II she confines herself 10 the written
word she'll get more thrills out of a
dry-goods stores advertising circular.
The letters she receives from her lion
hearted suitor are not worth the three
cent postage stamp.
Many a Samson who makes love di-
vinely is sufficiently up to date not to
put his sentiments down on paper. The
faIseness of Delflah Is guide for mas
csline posterity. and in VAIN do Eng
lish girls protest that they're not all
Deliahs. The breach o. promise courts

are kept too busy for the disclaimer
to carry weight.
And SO the engaged girl of today has
no cherished bundle of lavender-per-
fumed. pink -beribboned 1ove-protes-
tations hidden away in the linen chest.
The only things she can recall about
those sweetly said parted hours are
the tender nothings he whispers
through the telephone.
A letter costs three cents. tele-
phone call six. But the extra three
cents insures him against all risks.
