Should Man Break Vow
 to Wed Maid If He Is
 No Longer Enamored?
(By International News service.)

(By Internat1onaI News Serv1ce.)
 London, Dec. 12-"If a man finds his engagement is a mistake, what is he to do?" That is the question asked by Judge McCardie, one of the most distinguished of the English judiciary-and a bachelor.
 An engagement to marry is not like a bargain made in a counting house; it is not an ordinary contract.
 "Is the man, then, to say to the girl: All my affection is gone, but I will marry you rather than have breach of promise case?'
 ''Or is he to say: I believe the right and honest thing is not to marry, and I will submit to any damages the jury thinks fit to give
 Marriage in the eyes of the churches is a lifelong contract that nothing but death can dissolve
 But the consequences of unhappy marriages are seen every day in the congested lists of our divorce courts"

Greek Elk Service Men in Akron May Return

 Akron, Ohio. Dec. 12-Greek ex- service men living in this community, at a number of recent informal dis cusslons, have considered the plan of returning to France all medals of honor received from that nation. This step, which probably will be taken soon, is to be in retaliation for Frances attitude in the Near East
 About 25 of the colony of 200 Akron Greeks possess French war crosses and medals for service during the Great War. John Petrou, in charge of the movement, has announced that the idea will be laid before the local branch of the American Legion in the hope that the Legion would endorse the return of the decorations and thus make the rebuke appear as if com ing directly from Akron veterans

our civilization.
Perhaps the most effective way to
tell the story Of dress is to make this
striking comparison. First, let US 20
back to the time of the prehistoric
caVe-WOman. In her breast the first
thought of shame has stirred, and
she makes for herself a covering
dress. She makes it Of the skin of
a newly killed animal. It is raw,
ugly and very unpleasant; but the
owner feels naught but pride in its
ownership.
Now let US stand for a moment on
a corner of Fifth avenue, New York's
famous avenue of fashion. We see
a modern young woman on her way
to the theater. From the tips of her
trench-heeled slippers to the jaunty
little hat on her head, she is-per-
feet. Her gown seems to express in
every line the story of her own per-
sonallty. The color scheme might
well have been invented bv Mother
Nature herself. And countless 9TH
ers, streaming endlessly along the
avenue, telling the story of civiliza-
ton in the clothes they wear.
1t would indeed be a Herculean
task to attempt to write a discourse
on the subject of Dress. And yet the
story Of Dress is a beautiful one.
Women are never so lovely as when
they are well-dressed. Someone once
said, There is nothing more beauti-
full than a beautiful woman" A
pretty sentiment, but not quite COM
plete. We would have it read:
There is nothing more beautiful
than a beautiful woman we'll
dressed"
When is a woman well-dressed?
1t cannot be when she is merely fash
ionable, for when we glance at the
fading portrait of some forgotten an
cestor, graceful in her Colonial gown

white lace, we feel instinctively that
she is well-dressed. And yet, we
cannot call her fashionable. It can
not be elaborate attire, for we know
that the stylish young miss in her Sc
verely tailored suit and sailor hat is
certainly well-dressed. It cannot be
distinctiveness-or individuality-for
many delightfully."- well-dressed
young woman buys all her frocks and
suits in the shops.
No, it is neither of these-and yet,
it is all of them. The well-dressed
woman has the faculty of charming
you-and yet you know not why.
Youth may not claim sole posses
sion of charm. Old age has a charm
all its Own-a silver charm that
makes one think of mellowed roses,
and fading sunsets.
A delightful gray-and-lilac grand
mother, repOsing quietly in the depths
Of a great armchair, perhaps dream
ing of a golden youth-this is a pic
ture that artists have long loved to
paint. There is something strangely
irresistible in old age, especially if
old age is beautiful. And to make it
beautiful requires only a calm assur-
ance combined with clothes that are
in good taste and in harmony with
ones years and personality.
Of course, one does not expect
ones grandmother to wear the same
kind of creations that young Miss
Seventeen delights in. The sound of
rustling silk and sweeping petticoats
is undeniably one of the greatest
charms of the elderly lady.
