himself glad she was to marry professional man.
 That must mean Dr. Smith. Yet, MT. Hamilton was also a profession al man. Of course it could make no difference now to Kenneth-yet he would rather that it were the min ister than the young doctor. He liked Mir. Hamilton better.
 Then, all at once, with one of those sudden illuminations that light up the dark turbulence of ones thoughts, he appreciated to it's full extent the truth that had numbed him by it's cruel blow.
 It was Ruth, the girl he loved, who was engaged to some man other than himself. How could that be when she had let him, Kenneth, Kiss her, had clung to him, had called him by name in voice that could mean but one thing? How could 1t be-?
 He stood still and looked up at the starlit skies above him. And as he looked he felt that Ruth did care for him-that he had had bad dream when he had believed her engaged to some other man. She loved him, himself-and if that were so she should never marry any one else. She would not want to!
 But this conviction lasted only for a moment. If what his mother had said were true, Ruth did love the man to whom she was engaged. She was not the girl to accept a man she did not care for.
 What if his mother had lied?
 With unfilial eagerness he caught at the idea. But no, she would not have dared-she would never-even she, with her plans and schemes even she would never do this!

 Marriage is an institution. But not an institution for the blind. It is always appropriate for wavering maid to look before she leaps. Also taste before she swallows honeyed promises.

 Fine bachelors don't make fine benedicts. And cute ingenues don't make such swell cooks. Like one of Bryan's photograph records. there is much to be said on both sides. An oleomargarine salary buffers no bread. But two days after honey tour is finished is no time to crash news to your bride.
