is ono of glamour. Ev
erything is or ought to
bo coulottr do roso. Up
I to tho period when tho
first inovitnblo quiirrol or iliflforenco of
opinion occurs nnd theso only spico tho
now lifo of anticipated partnership with
variety tho engaged ones drift together
over n BUiuiner sen of pootry, lnughtcr
and song. Thoro tiovcr wero such cyca
or hnnds or lips ns they discover in each
tthcr, such loving, trusting hearts.
This Lb nil very pretty nnd quito ns it
should be, nnd tho best of it is that
youth docs not tnouopolizo tho situation.
Every engagement, founded on tho right
basis of mutual preference, respect nnd
sympathy, exhibits this charming, rose
ate picturo to tho world, and tho world
rejoices in it. Dcspito tho cynics hu
mankind does most distinctly doto upon
lovers. That is why novels nro read
rlth such continual avidity, why plays
novcr tiro of interest, and why tho ra
conteur when ho tells a lovo Btory is al
ways euro of an attcntivo audience.
After mnrringo of courso comes disil
lusionment, although with persons of
romantic temperament this phao is
held in nbeynnco, and, by tho way, when
tho romnntics hnvo plenty of tnonoy to
keep them abovo tho groveling lovel
Bcnsitivo natures cannot grovel with
dignity nnd grace thoy aro porhaps tho
happiest bouIs to bo found enjoying tho
doubtful compensations of married lifo.
Their eyes uro novcr quito opened to tho
dread realities of burned soup, leaky
pipes, mountainous grocer bills nnd un
trained Bervnnts. Thoy calmly riso
abovo theso Rcourgings of tho flesh, nnd
from tho Bcreno heights of philosophy
gazo upon tho scrambles of their fellow
men with p. otic indifference, sccuro only
In tho selfishness of mutual lovo. Their
engagements wero unwritten blank verso,
and thoir united oxistenco never devol
opes a semblanco of tragedy. Tho ro
mantics, however, aro scant in num
ber, moro's tho pity, and tho disillusion
ized ones aro named legion.
Properly speaking, tho engagement is
merely tho interval of preparation bo
fore marriage tho definito opportunity
to provido wedding garments, to scttlo
business plans, to decide upon tho do
tolls of a lifo togothor. Ordinarily a
year, or, at furthest, two, aro deemod
Bufflciont to this end, but when tho pro
bation stretches on indefinitely ono must
concludo that tho man in tho caso is
either "a laggard in lovo and a dastard
in war" or elso that tho "fair Ellon"
must bo puin fully lacking in charms.
At any ruto tho long engagement, al
though probably first invented to suit
the convenience of impecunious suitors,
is a mauifebt drawback to any woman,
moro especially bo to ono of a lively
spirit. Socially sho is ostracized, in a
measure, from tho companionship of all
other men a being sot apart, marked
and labeled yet dobarred, by iron
bound conventionality, from that daily
intimacy with tho ono to whom sho la
promised which her peculiar position,
as well ns hor nffectionnto and sympa
thetic nature, prompts. Necessarily as
tho years go by sho must feel herself
just outsido of tho happiness sho has
fancied, and which her moro fortunato
sisters, who nro married nnd Bottled, aro
either quailing boforo or facing with a
bravo, tranquil and wifoly front. Tho
long engaged woman can never assume
this front. Her lifo nnd fato nro too dis
tinctly uncertain.
This state of uncertainty is perhaps
tho worst fenturo about tho long en
gagement. It produces a wavering and
vacillating condition of mind which is
always deplorable Two peoplo aro
bound togothor by strong bonds; but, un
like tho vows of tnurriigo, thoy nro en
tirely dissoluble Either ono can breuk
tho engagement at will and marry other
wise so that being set apart and consid
ered engaged , yet lmuntod by tho fear that
at any timo tho fancy for another faco
may mar each other's happiness, cannot
bo regarded us a tranquil plight. Quito
tho rovoreo. This dlfiiculty, moreover,
is heightened when separation is neces
sitated, nnd imnginntiou takes n hand
In conjuring up now fears.
No engagement, oven under tho most
favorable circumstance, with everything
assured, enn represent completo tran
quillity. It is after all but a jHiriod of
trial and expectation. Thero is always
tho lurking dread that Bomo unforeseen
futo may interveuo to snatch away tho
beloved object nnd render lifo desolato
forover afterward, but this sense of in
security is jicculinr to every sort of lovo.
Tho long engaged girl soon becomes
tho target of endless surmise from solic
itous relatives and friends. As tho sea
sons chaugo and spring and fall marry
ing times como around thoy bother them

"Whon will tho wedding tnko place?"
This becomes exceedingly annoying, Sho

Bno must submit to tho order of things;
sho must bo engnged fifty years If ho so
decrees.
Meatttimo hIio boos hor beauty Blowly
waning, for nothing is no damaging to n
woman's looks ns nnzioty, and this the
long engagement undoubtedly begets.
As hor personal attractiveness slowly
departs she Ioboa, nt tho nnmo timo, tnnt
blooming consciousness of power which
is its invnriablo concomitant, nnd whon
this has taken flight she is but a remnant
cf hor former self, liko a balloon with
out ballnst or a sliip without provision.
Bho hates herself. Tho idea of marriage
after so tiresome an experience bores her.
An engagement which onco enmo un
der tho writer's attention had lasted for
Blxtecn long years. Originnlly tho young
woman lintl been blooming nnd beau-1
tlful, but as tho hopeless years crept on .
sho finally settled down into tho dec
orous thirties without crimps. Tho ,
man, on tho other hand, had gone west .
to mnko his everlasting fortuuo, bo that
ho might return and wed tho queen of j
Ids heart; but alas, ho hnd suffered many ,
falls from tho path of strict fidelity t nil ,
trusting flancco novcr imagined how i
many other girls thoro wero to whom ho i
hnd protested undying dovotion. She
went on trusting. Finally ho grevr
tired of it all and enmo back to Ids first
love's feet sho who had bolioved nil of ,
his ndrolt falsehoods about tho postpouo-
ments of their mnrriago from timo to
timo, tho prolongation of their engage- j
ment, nnd hnd uovcr murmured. J
They wero married, prosaically enough,
but what wero their chances of happi
ness? Sho hnd waited year nfter year,
until tho light of hopo had almost died
from her eyes, always believing thnt ho
would bo loyal nnd true. Denying her
self to all other claimants sho had lived
on in solitude, a lifo which is but antici
pated widowhood, equivalent to that of
tho Boparnted wifo, but far moro inso
euro nnd dependent, until sho had bo
como nn object of conjecture wondor
ment, sometimes pity. Then, nt last,
when mnrriago actually camo to end her
long vigil, thoso old dreams of her heart
had fled. Now duties wero burdensomo;
attention to a husband's wants and
whims was tt boro. Sho had grown fas
tidious nbout mnny things. Trifles wor
ried nnd irritated her. Sho was now too
old; they had been Boparated too long to
adapt themselves to each other's ways.
That mutual giving and receiving some
times Been in tho mnrringes of younger
peoplo of contrasting disposition was
lmposslblo with them. Discord was in
ovitnblo.
I hold that tho world's standnrd of
honor upon tho engagement question is
all wroug; that, being only n period of
trial, no censures should attach to either
ono for breaking an engagement from
good nnd sufficient cause. Nor, on tho
other hand, should it bo onterod into
lightly that's whero tho consuro lies.
Men and women do bo frequently dis
play such absoluto Irresponsibility by en
tering frivolously Into an arrangement
which thoy novcr intend to consider se
riously, and wliich thoy break at tho ear
liest convenience, whon thoy havo tired
of tho novelty of it. Not infrequently tho
prico of bucIi lightness and flippancy be
comes tho cost of a precious lifo, when
nnnwaros a heart has bocomo entangled
in tho meshes.
Tho engagement where lovo exists only
on ono sidoisan interesting study. Theso
aro ofton arrangod by tho advico of mu
tual friends for pecuniary reasons or for
somo good social cnuso. Suppose, for
instanco, that lovo is on tho man's sido
only, tho girl not possessing dislike, but
honest respect, and perhais kindly ro
gard, she being merely acquiescent. Tho
compact is made. Tho girl soon finds
herself obliged to submit to tho cnroscs
of a man to whom her heart docs not
fully respond, and sho robots against this
penalty. Every engaged man, savo icr
hnps a f ow grand courts or other lessnrctio
fiances who regard tho fair object idol
atrously, considers this his privilego as
an nccopted lnvor; but, beliovo mo, thero
is nothing bo repugnant to tho feelings
of a woman not in lovo. Whero this re
pugnance exists it growB and grows un
til her former indifferenco has developed
into activo hatred, and no courso is left
to her savo to break tho engagement as
speedily as possiblo.
Sho longs for rcloabo. Sho looks for
ward to marriage with dread nnd dis
trust of herself. Tragic thoughts assail
her. Sho is willing to do anything to bo
free to work, to suffer only to bo re
leased from thoso bonds which havo
grown so galling. All men nro not gen
erous, nor do thoy all 60 readily relin
quish tho prizes they havo held in hand.
It is not always so easy to break an en
gagement. Much is involved. Perhaps
it lias been announced in tho newspa
pers; congratulations havo been received;
tho plans nnd bids for a house hnvo been
accepted; tho wedding cards may oven bo
in tho engraver's hands but no matter:
it must bo broken nt any hazard.
Again, supposing that it is tho man
who finds ho has made an egregious mis
take. Ho has discovered that tho woman
is inordinately jealous or vain or irre
ligious or untruthful quali.ies which
manifestly unfit her to become his ideal
wifo and ho desires to part with her.
She, being in lovo, nnd perhaps tho
stronger nature of tho two, exhibits her
skill in tho hysterical line, nnd brings
such feminine tactics to bear, by wuy of
holding him to his bargain, ns mako ro
leoso well nigh impossible.
Could such a mnrriago promise hnppl
ness? From just such unions grow tho
startling tragedies that fill our newspa
pers. Tho ounco of prevention utilized
in tho breaking off of an utterly uncon
genial engagement would not havo been
misspent. Henco I say tho code of
honor is faulty upon this delicate point,
nnd yet tho subject is so individual, so
dependent upon a thousand little unex
plaiuablo circumstances, that regular
laws can never bo laid down for tho
guidance nnd protection of tho uniniti
ated. Tho law of contraries sometimes
appears to bo tho only law in such cases,
for frequently tho stormiest engage
ments prfcsda tho calmest r.n.l smooth
est of married lives.
Many honorablo men, when their
hearts nro awakened, hesitnto to address
tho object of their preference until their
"visiblo Income" Is entirely awmrort, anc
thcreforo retire from tho field uucon
fessed, lotting concealment prey uxr
their noblo natures. It is questionable
whether such n proceeding is just and
fair toward tho object inspiring such ro
gnrd. A woman is left in doubt thereby
Bho, keenly intuitive, has long bIiico (11
vined that his heart is hers, but tin
words hnvo not been spoken. And it ll
becnuso ho could not say, "Will you
marry me?" nfter "I lovo you" that lib
Hps havo been sealed. So ho rides away,
and ho lingers long. Sho ponders ovel
his strango silence, and tho thought ol
his absonco sinks deep into her heart
All other men bocomo ns dust. Only the
absent ono, who hns never spoken, whe
may nover spenk, but whom sho fervent
ly hopes will speak somo day, can win
her heart's constancy and devotion. Dili
this is an everyday Btory nnd require!
no telling. Years nro nover reckoned In
Bitch lovo stories.
In my opinion, although opposed tc
long engagements, tho duration thcredi

presented. Tho longer an engagement
is tho greater is tho tax upon tho young
woman's tointier, bo that frequently
when tho mnrriago takes plnco aftoi
stiuh a delay her disposition is quito in
verted. Hut tho fact remains that if il
is of such quality ns to hnvo its stnndard
of equanimity thus lowered, how could
It possibly stand tho wonr nnd tenr ol
married life? If tho girl has tho tact,
forco, adaptability, to riso nnd meet mid '
anticipate her husband's requirement! '
with sweet, womanly grace, sho will j
mako ngood wife, depend upon It , no mat
ter whother engaged for ono nhort, rosy '
month when sho lives in tho poetry nml j
dines on tho honey of lovo in lifo with '
nil tho glory of youth enveloping her1
or whether sho waits twenty long, trust-
ful years while her lover builds up o
fortuno sufficient to keep her in tho nf-'
fluonco sho hns enjoyed in tho maternal j
mnnsion.
Most men mako tho colossal mistake
of their lives by binding n womnn i '
them by engagement when their scheme '
of lifo is all unsettled nnd their definite '
income nil. But when a innn loves he '
must tell it, nnd having told it ho must
get nn nfilrmntivo answer to amount tc
nnything as a breadwinner, nnd having
gained her consent ho must hold her by
nn engagement until such timo ns he
can possibly bo married, or elso some
poncher will como trespassing upon hh
presorves and crush all hopo forovci
from his heart. And bo it goesl It it
trito to say that nil men nro moro or lest
selfish, but thoy nro moro so in lovo tliao
less. Cynthia Maiilowe.

"I should liko to know," said somo ono
coiuplalnlngly the other day, "if yellow

Why , I can remember when nobody could
havo worn yellow."
"Thnt was a good many years ngo,"
said her companion, laughing, "nnd I
won't 'givo myself away' to that extent.
Don't you know"
"Oh yes, I know nil nbout Hitnflowers
nnd (vsthetieisui mid Oscar Wildo. Don't

"I didn't mean to. I was going to tell
an nnecdoto of somo English nrtist who
invited his friends to como and see n

presently tho artist camo in bringing n
pair of vases of n peculiar shade of yellow
and set them there. That shade was the
missing note that had been needed to

then everybody said it was lovely."
"Well, I don't mean to hunt for that
missing shade any longer, nnd my now
curtains shall bo of some other color."
A Tulo uf llrloki.
FIvoclcnn, now, perfectly plain bricks
lay on tho floor, and tho girl who hnd
brought them in surveyed them with
approval.
"I suppoBO," said tho scoffer, "you aro
going to wind them with ribbons nnd
put them on tho parlor table."
"Not exactly, but como around n week
from todny nnd seo thoso bricks, nnd
you'll wish you had them. They nro all
to bo useful, nnd somo of them orna
mental." Seven days later tho scoffer was intro
duced to a group of nrticles which sho
failed to recognize
"Brick No. 1," said tho showwoman
proudly, "is a paperweight. I nover had
a moro satisfactory ono." Tho Iurgcst
surfaces of tho brick wero painted dnrk
bluo, ono of them forming n background
for n spray of dclicato white flowers.
Tho sides wero left tho original color,
and tho wholo was covered with a coat
of transparent varnish, through which
the blue showed liko enamel and which
would keep it clean. "It stays put," ex
plained tho decorator, "and that is what
ono wants in a paperweight."
Brick No. 3 was not very pretentious.
It was covered neatly with curing, with
a loop of braid at ono comer for a han

keep it from striking against tho wall.
Liko it better than a knob out from the
wnll. "It's useful, too, to keep tho door
open or half open, or as I want it. You
know everybody leaves tho door open in
winter, and thojr just as surely shut it
in summer."
No. 0 looked liko a glorifi. ' copy of
No. 2. It was covered with velvet and
adorned with a big bow of ribbon (at
which tho scoffer smiled) nnd had loops
of ribbon for handles. "This is u ribbon
weight. You know tho best way to keep
' ribbons nice, the children's hair ribbons

Brick No. 4 formed tho foundation for
, n ,,in ,i nce,u0 ciihIiIoii for tho sewing

And brick No. 5? Well, sho confessed
that that had been left in its unadorned

rolnta.
It is nn oft repeated libel ngainst a
woman that sho can't sharpen n twncil
projK'rly. Now this is nil nonsense Ono
reason a man does it better is because
ho generally has a better knife A boy
regards a knife as a necessity, nnd ho is
generally furnished with a fresh ono
every Christmas. Holms a dozen uses
for his kn'fo, and when ho grows tip tho
habit is fixed, and he keeps himself pro
vided with a good one. But a woman's
knifo is half tho timo a toy affair, and
when its first edge is worn off it's ubout
fit to cut cheese. That's ono reason.
Then a man has a lofty disregard of tho
carpet. Ho cuts freely and lets tho chips
fly about tho room and take caro of
themselves. Ditto with tho jxiwdored
lead thnt he scrapes oil'. Sometimes ho
makes a platform of his thumb, which
of course Is the best way if it didn't got
so dirty. Hut a woman has a housewife
ly instinct that leads her to lay down a
pajK-r and cramp her ojKratious. yet in
spite of these disadvantages a woman
can mako truly beautiful iniints, which
are an inspiration when she comes to
