enough what railroad workers can
expect from this quarter. The pur-

Common Sense
Prevails
Selecting the Ring

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please tell me if it is
improper for a girl to pick out
her own engagement ring, or
have her boy friend pick it out?
Some say it is bad luck If a
girl chooses her own engagement
ring. Is that so? V.
There isn't any question of
good or bad luck about this
choosing of an engagement ring,
but there is question of com
mon sense. It is such sensible
thing for the fiance and the
fiancee to go together to choose
the engagement ring that this is
wisely just what is usually done
nowadays.
This choosing of the ring to-
gether may be done in one of
several ways. No matter which
way it's actually chosen, the
young man should consult the
girl as to her wishes. Some
girls like solitaire diamonds, anG
some girls prefer otneI STONES.
Some girls like a plain setting
for the gem, and others prefer
elaborate settings.
The young man naturally has
to adapt preferences to his
budget, and so he may go first
to the jeweler and select, with
the jewelers. advice, several
rings that most nearly fulfill all
requirements.
The jeweler may take these
rings to the girls house, and
together the young man and
the girl look at them and she
chooses the one she prefers.
Or the girl may 60 with the
young man to the jewelers. for
this choice. Or the fiance may
choose several stones, and have

Ever LOvelier

Ever LOvelier
Autumn is ever lovelier than
spring
AS earnest search will show;
Most priced the last red rose, the
last swift wing
That comes before the snow.
And age is still a fairer thing
than youth
AS quickened eyes can see;
Reflected from old faces shines
the truth
OF immortality.
Though age can show no CLEAN
of golden hair,
No grace of rounded limb,
The torch Of love glows clearest'
purest there
In faded eyes and dim.
The garb of flesh no longer hides
the soul
And time has burned away
Its shrouding wells and now re-
veals the whole
Bright spirit through the clay.

The young lady who treads

a week is very lovely-but she's
temperamental as a prima don
ma. l never know what she's
going to do from one moment to
the next. Sunshine, tears, fire,
ice, tantrums-and sweetly do
nestle.
What's poor laundering
male going to do about keeping
up with such a little lady? Often
she diStracts me so that I think
of signing up on a sailing ship
that will Keep me away from
her half a year or more.
I want so much to get away
from her diabolical influence
and have a chance to think.
M. L. M.
The iron hand in the velvet
glove seems to be the proper
treatment for young ladies who
have so many moods. I'm afraid
you have been spelling this
charmer, and perhaps if you
show more independence of
character in dealing with her,
you won't have so many wor-
rieS.
You don't tell me how old
you are; if you're in the early
twenties should think a voyage
on a sailing ship would be great
fun.
