 The truth is in those days men proposed direct to the girl of their choice" Lady Raglan said. Tn some ways the girls Of that period had far more opportunity of know ing men than is the case nowadays.
 The London season started di- rectly after Easter and ended in July, after which young people met at country house parties. Here they were given plenty of opportunity to know each other
 True, debutantes were chaper- oned at balls. But that fact did not prevent them from dancing as ire quently as they chose with their favorite partners.
 "The idea that girls Tn the vic- torian era spent their days in sew ing seams and practicing scales is another fallacy. On the contrary those who came to London for the season spent their days in whirl of social engagements.
 Dress, not sex. was the great topic of conversation in those days.
 Another popular delusion is that the Victorian girl never indulged in sport. Lawn tennis was most popular game which was played ex- tensively. Another favorite pastime was water parties. Chaperones were dispensed with and the girls and young men used to go down the: river Thames in boatloads and picnic on the river banks"

 The story is laid in the state of Kansas in the earlier days. The work done by Glenn Tryon as the non-fghting son of very much battling family is considered by those who have seen the picture as the best bit of screen acting yet put over by this sterling little new conner to film stardom
