OEs good form require that
- an engaged man. present his
flancee with a diamond en-
gagement ring?
This Is a question that Is often
asked by tho young man after he
has proposed marriage to the girl
Of his choice. And the answer TO
the question Is: Certain not"
To be sure. most men In this
country do present their fiancees
with some sort OF betrothal ring
aud when they can afford IT. 1t Is
usually a diamond ring, simply be-
cause diamonds are associated In
most girls minds with engage
ments. But the young woman
ought TO be consulted as to her
choice IN the matter. Many girls
nowadays-when girls are given
10 having original ideas on so
many eubiects-profess a dislike
for the conventional engagement
ring, simply because Il is SO usual.
or late years the diamond circlet
has been I'm high favor and some
times young woman prefers her
favorjte stoneAan emerald, or
ruby, or sapphire, or even a pearl
or opal-either alone or set with
diamonds, TO any plain diamond
setting in the world. II is the
Young woman that has to wear
the ring and the considerable
young man suits her taste rather
than his own in selecting II.
Lest there might be embarrass-
ment in purchasing the ring to-
gether, a young man often goes TO
his jeweler beforehand and selects
two or three rings of the price
that he wishes to pay and then
asks his fiancee to select the one
she prefers. Any considerable
jeweler will carry on this little
transaction without letting the
question of price enter into the
negotiations with the young
woman.
The only hard and fast rule
there need be about engagement
rings ia that their value should bt
proportionate with the flnancia
position OF those who buy them. A
young man with enough money e
do so would be regarded as selfish
IL he did not give his fiancee an!
engagement ring. But. on thu
other hand, a young woman. know
ing her fisncee had many respon
sihilities and little money, would

Hair That -
-. Is Bobbed

1T Ia all very we'll to say that
bobbed hair Is out Of fashion,
4 But it all depends on what you
mean by fashion. Throughout
large parts OF the country bobbed
hair is as something fairly new.
Every day some one gets UP cour-
age TO bob her hair and parents
are still being leased by their
daughters for permission to wear
bobbed hair.
That the custom Of bobbing the
hair IL by no means passed might
be proved from the fact that hat
manufacturing concern making
especially small hats to At bobbed
heads is doing a landoffice bust
ness. The women who wore their
hair bobbed only when IL was new
and really smart and have since
let II grow out again, know how
hard II was 10 find hats that would
fit the shorn head. The stragglers
in the fashion have had no such
Inconvenience to experience.
For younger girls. girls UP TO
fourteen or fifteen. the bobbed
mode is still regarded with high
hvor. You do not very often see
a little girl with flowing locks,
less often with pig tails. The
whole question is simply settled
by having il bobbed. There arc
various opinions about the effect OF
cutting hair. Some people will tel
you that 10 keep hair close cut OF
even bobbed will make II stronger
Others say that hair that is cut be.
comes coarse and stiff. or agair
that II loses its curl.
There is very little proved sub
sanitation for any Of these
theories. One thing is certain
that the little girl who has gone
with bobbed hair Throughout
childhood has been spared Of {
good many Of the woes Of havinf
hair braided or curled that were
known to little girls who lived be
fore the age OF hair bobbing.
