Etiquette
Announcingh the
En9a9en1ent

By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Will you please tell me the
proper way to announce an en-
gagement?
would it be all right II the
young man called his fiancee into
another room to put the ring on
her finger, or should it be put on
her finger in the presence Of their
parents?
male READER"
The formula for the announcing
of an engagement may be as
simple as the fiancee and her
fiance wish. It is entirely a mat
ter of choice and circumstances.
Let's begin at the beginning. You
and your Mary have become en-
gagged. Mary tells the happy news
to her mother and father, and you
tell your mother and father. Then
you have that important talk with
Mary's mother or father or who
ever is her nearest relative
about all plans, about your in
come and prospects, about any
other questions that may concern
the future happiness of you and
Mary.
When a girl becomes engaged
the family of her fiance makes the
first social move. So your mother
and father Cor your mother alone,
if it is not possible for your father)
should make welcoming into-the-
family call on your fiancee and
her family as soon as possible after
you have told them the news
within "a hours, according to the
best form.
When the date of the engage
ment-announcement has been de-
cided on, you and your fiancee
tell the news to your close rela-
tiveS, or write to them, if they
live out Of town. Four or five
days before the day of the an
nouncement you both write let
tiers to your friends. Such a let
ter usually begins, 81 want you to
be among the first to know that
Mary and I are engaged" Then
the relative or friend is told the
date on which the news is to be
publicly announced. and is asked
please not to tell anyone" be-
fore that date.
In this simple and dignified
and correct way-by telling or
writing to members Of the fam
lily and to friends-those most
concerned with the news are told
the news. engraved or printed
announcements Of an engage
ment are not in good form0
It is not necessary to announce
engagements publicly at all, but,
if a public announcement is
made, it is the young lady's par
ents who make this announce
ment, by sending a formal notice
to the newspapers on the evening
before the day Of the announce
ment.
A party, to announce the en-
gagement, may be given by the
young lady's family. This may
be tea, a dinner, a supper, or
a dance. Or sometimes the en-
gagement is announced at a
luncheon 'iven for the girl
friends of the bride-to-be.
Give your fiancee the ring
when "just you two" are together.
This is better form, more appro-
pirate, than giving the ring to
her in the presence Of the mem
berS Of your families.

Girls and boys whose marriages
have gone on the rocks warn other
lovers not to repeat mistakes they
have made.
Haste is the great ally Of the
divorce court. If you're actually
in love, an ounce of careful reflec-
ton is worth a pound Of speed.
IMPORTANT DON'T
One important "don't" is don't
fly in the faces of wealthy parents
who threaten to disinherit a son
or a daughter If they marry with
out consent. Sometimes they do
disinherit. Here's one instance:
'Dear Miss Fairfax:
my advice to lovers about to
elOpe Is don't I am a girl from
q college town and come from a
middIe-cIass family.
Father lost his business through
the depression, and all we had left
was a lovely little home. To save
the home, quit school and took
job in a department store, which
still hold.
ITO help out, we rented one of
our rooms to law student at col.
lege. He and I became interested
in each other and fell in love. His
parents are socially prominent,
have plenty of money and lovely
home, well kept by several servants.
"The boys father visited him
occasionally, seemed to like me,
and made mo several lovely gifts
but these were given to the
YandIady's daughter not to one
who would so far forget herself as
to be interested in his son.
BOY DISOWNED
"The boy had . big allowance,
and had only one more year In
college before taking his law de-
gree. Well-We were so much In
love that we flew in the face OF
the objections on both sides,
bOlted off and were married.
"The boys family kept their
word and disOwned him, cutting
him off entirely and stopping his
allowance. Now we are both
working, my husband only q few
days week at 3 mean job for
small pay, and I in the depart
ment store. We see nothing
ahead. My husband is loyal and
refuses to give me up. But
Il am under observation for tu-
berculOsiS, and the long hours in
the department store are hard on
me. / have wished q thousand
times that / had waited for my
husband to take his law degree be-
fore we were married. With that
he could have got a better job, We
are both desperately unhappy"
"ANITA."
PARENTS MAY CHANGE,

often than not, do a right-about-
face. We hope this may happen

band-but this is no time for
handing out wordy platitudes to
the distracted young lovers.
In this case boy comes from a
wealthy family. If he has any
uncles, cousins or friends who can
help to get him a better job, here's
hoping that no false pride will pre-.
vent him from urging them to
help.
