IRISH WOMEN APPEAL.
Want to Retain Their Nationa ALT,
on Marriage With Foreigners.

DUBLIN. October : Op).-The Ma.
tional Council of the Women of Ire
land has sent to the Irish Free State
delegates to the coming imperial con
ference a memorandum claiming for
women the rights to retain their ma
tionality on marriage with foreigners.
Sixteen nations are said to have
granted this right.
The memorandum points out the
case of an Irish woman who married
an Italian and lived with him all her
life in Ireland. She survived him by
many years and continued to live in
ireland, but she was refused an old
age pension on the ground that her
nationality was Italian.

Advice to the
Lovelorn

His Letter Unanswered.


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
went on a trip and while l was
away, met a young lady. | care
great deal about her. l gave her my
love. which she reciprocated.
When i came back, wrote her two
letters. Both of them came back
unopened. / don't think she sent
them back. believe that some of
her family did.
Would it be right for me to keep
writing to her if her parents don't
want me to pay attention TO her?
BILL.
You omit to mention your age and
the age of the girl you admire. II
as I suspect, you are both very young,
her parents may feel that she is too
young to correspond with sweet
heart and you would naturally bow
to their decision.
l suggest, however, that you write
her once more--a registered letter
this time. Ask at the postoffice for
n return notice so that you'll know
whether she received the letter.
In this registered letter.. explain
that you've written twice that your
letters have been returned unopened
and ask whether you may correspond
with her and if not whether she will
write once to explain so that you
will understand the state of affairs.
If even this letter brings no reply
from her, you'll have to let her 90
and seek more appreciative friend
ship.

Some Pointers
on Manners
Wedding Etiquette.
By Mrs. Beeckman

Dear Mrs. Becckm9n:
At an informal church wedding docs
the bride wear white gloves! (Thc
dress is white. made with short
slcevcs). A white hat will be worn.
Should the bridesmaids also wear
gloves?
.. The groom, best man and ushcrs
wearing either gray or blue suits,
should they wear gloves?
3. When the bride and groom de
part. to whom does the bride throw
her bouquet? When should she throw
it. before or after changing her we'd
ding dress? NJ. w.
Whether or not the bride and her
attendants wear gloves depends en-
tircly on the wish and choice of the
bride. Nowadays she does entirely as
she wishes, and usually makes her de
cision to wear gloves when the formal
ity Of her dress demands them. Since
the costume that you describe N not
especially formal, the bride and her
attendants really do not need to wear
gloves. Also since the attire of the
groom and his attendants is not formal
/ should be inclined to advise the bride
not to wear gloves.
.. No. For the gentlemen to wear
gloves with informal suits would only
serve to emphasize the informality OF
the suit.
). AS the bride leaves the guests to
20 to change her wedding dress for
her travelling dress, she throws her
bouquet, not to any special person but
TO the group Of her girl friends who
are watching her depart.

Another Chance.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

/ have been going out with a young
man for more than four years. Dur
ing that time he has proposed twice,
saying he was madly in love with
me.

but, | will admit, I have grown used
TO him. He treated me in all respects
like a gentleman-gave me everything
| asked.
/ told him to wait awhile, for 1
honestly admired his god qualities.
After giving him all my attention
for few months finally grew fond
of him. l then told him so. but he
said he wasn't ready to marry.
Then we had an understanding
that we could be nothing more than
friends. But now at times he wants
TO be more than a friend.
Shall give him the chance? L
have feeling that he is the only
man for me and 1 am the only girl
for him. BILLIE.
If his asking for another chance
means that he loves you and wishes
to marry you, and after four years
companionship you realize that YOU
love him, why not accept him and
announce your engagement?
Unless you two do become dell
nitely engaged, however, the only
sensible course of procedure is to go
on being friends and giving time and
attention also to other friends. ~

Meditations of
a Wife
Putting 1t Mildly.
By Helen Rowland

uttuhS ~ NAhOAys
Before the wedding ceremony, most
bridegrooms fortify themselves with
n stimulant, when what they really
need is an opiate.
All a man asks, when he has n
photograph taken, is justice-but a
woman prays for mercy!
Romance will never die, so long as
there lives a man who carries a
photograph in the back of his watch
and girl who hangs up mistletoe.
When n man begins making extrav-
agant love to woman, she is never
half so doubtful of how much of it he
means, as HE is.
There is no such thing as a safe
and sane love affair. Love is always
n gloriously dangerous voyage OF ac-
venture, which may end in the port
of matrimony, the harbor of dreams,
the backwater of disenchantment, the
tempest of q quarrel, or the dead calm
of boredom. But, oh the scenery, en-
route.
The girl with the "crepe-de-chine
soul" seems to have given place to
the flapper with Scotch-plaid
philosC ,,hy, canton flannel con-
science, and a rainproof Imagination.
A diplomatic genius is one who an
swers all u woman's embarrassing
questions, by telling her that she has
beautiful eyes.
When man lives and dies q
bachelor it is not because of his III
ability TO fall in love. but because OF
his marvellous agility in catching his
balance, and crawling out of it, just
in time,
A woman's Imagination is n pcrfcc:
oven. in which she is forever trying
vainly to "warm up" an old love-at-
fair. II cooling romance, or stale
sentiment.
A bachelor is known by the secrets
he keeps.

Risking Unhappiness.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
L am engaged and have been 60
ing about with the young lady for
over n year. We expect TO announce
our engagement soon. But lately L
have begun to dislike her for many
reasons.
She is very jealous Of me and OBJ
iects to my going out with my best
men friends or speaking to my girl
friends. At times / become disguised
with her and threaten to give her up;
But she pays no heed. Please tell
me what to do.
~ CONSTANT READER.
If you no longer love your flame.
by all means break the engagement
now rather than risk an unhappy
marriage. Be careful not to become
engaged again until you are quite
sure that the girl you admire has
disposition so free from jealousy that
she will make you happy as your
wife.
