Whstdoyouoousider theproperlengthcian engagement? I have always thought that e. bc- trothal should last a year, during which time a man should be on his best behavior and ii he 1m‘- sistcd in any personal habits which were repulsive to the girl and which she felt she could not en- dure in the ruturo, it was her privilege to break the engagement and return whatever giiis oi value he had bestowed on her. GEORGE H. Answer:

‘rttaiiu . ._

Diamonds are certainly s luxmy and not a necessity and their pos- smlon neither makes nor mars a real woman's happiness.

aluliiiiie .

Most women like jewelry, and if their husbands or sweethearts can ’; give it to them they enjoy it just as they would a. good car or a ilne dress 3 or a. lovely home. But it is not necessary to their happiness, and mil- §lions oi women go through iiie without even a diamond chip, contented t: and cheerful and with no sense oi being deprived oi one oi the good f.‘ things of life.

Perhaps the gold-diggers, who only care for men ior what they can et out oi them, ieel that they are cheated when they are not given plat- ‘rginum-and-diamond wrist-watches and solitaires, but the worth-while zlwoman, who loves aman for himself, ieels that she is defrauded only f; when her husband iails to give her ailection and tenderness and con-

so dontthink that yom- sweetheart feels that you hold her cheaply f- or that she is put in an inierior position to other women because you l? cannot give her diamonds. 11 she cares ior you she would not want you mite go into debt to give her jewels that you could not aflord, and she is mfwllllng to wait ior her gems until you can pay ior them without sacri- EQ iicing yourself. Many a man who could not give his fiancee even a pin If point of a diamond as an engagement ring hss plastered his wiie over Ewith tiaras and stomachers and what-not by the time she was middle- j, iged. ,

p No definite time limit can be set upon an engagement. That alwayl llr-depeuds upon the individual case. but generally speaking, I think your ‘fgidea of a year as the proper length of a courtship is ideal. That gives s. young couple time in which to get acquainted with each others pecul- iarities and to find out how really companionabia they are and yet it is not so long that it rubs the bloom oii their romance. -

better if, during the engagement, both the girl and the man tried to

show each other their iaulis instead of always putting the best toot _._toremost and parading their virtues. -

Undoubtedly many engagements would be broken oil i! the girl got _ line on theresl man she was marrying and iound out in time that he Wwwas stingy or grduchy or tyrannical or morbidly jealous.

Therefore, my advice to you il to quit worrying about diamonds. have l’ is the real jewel that a woman craves. Put in your year o! engagement trying to find out just what sort oi girl you are proposing to marry and giving her a chance to sin up what sort oi husband material you are. - DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Miss Dix-The average man hasn't enough courage. ‘ll-rat's what ails him. Listen. Last week I was walking along s. certain street when a. small car passed me, the occupant oi which looked at me twice, then drove out of sight. 1 walked on. In a. iew minutes some one accosted me in a kind voice. It was this same man. He had tol- lowed me without my knowing it, but all he said was: “Are you going to work?" I was so surmised I just nodded my head and walked slowly on, thinking he would overtake me. However, he didn't. If he had ' ' only said: "Come on" and opened the car door, I would have Jumped in, but he lost out and 1 lost out because I was timid and he didn't

have enough nerve. ' IDUIBE.

_ For respectable men do not pick up respectable girls who are ptraugers to them on the streets, and when any unknown man oilen you a ride in his oar you may safely conclude that he “bodIe you no jgood." as the old-fashioned melodramas used to say. I i In the early days of the automob ile they called it "the devil wagon.” ‘fit still is when it is driven by men who prowl the streets and entice Qoung girls to go on joyrides with them.

g More girls have hurtled down the road to destruction that way than ‘Iny other, and so the next time an automobile sheik drives up the ‘ppvement and asks which way you‘ are going or remarks that it is a igileasant day for a ride, call the police.
