CHOITLD a young man first ask the
consent of a girl's parents when he
wishes to marry her, or should he first
gain the consent of the young girl and
then speak to her parents?
■ This question evidently puzzles many
men. Judging from the number of let
ters which I receive on the subject.
It Is a point of etiquette upon which
many persons differ, and, therefore, I
am unable to give any positive rule on
the subject.
In Europe the parents are always
consulted first, but In America most
persons think that a man Is at liberty
to win the girl of his choice without
first speaking to her parents.
However, when two young people
have made the discovery that they love
one another, a manly man will always
speak of It to the girl’s father or
mother, and ask permission to marry
her. If refused, unless there Is some
very excellent reason for the refusal*
patience and good behavior, with per
severance in the showing of the sin
cerity of the love, will usually win over
the obdurate parent.
The announcement of the engage
• ment always comes first from the fam
ily of the young girl. Notes may be
written to the different members of
the family, or the announcement may
be made verbally. The young couple
should write to the Immediate mem
Eslizabet/i
twiddle
bers of the families and to their Intimate
friends.
The man’s relatives and friends call
on the future bride, and ore the first to
entertain the young couple. Hospitali
ties are, however, exchanged and both
sides of the family are expected to ex
tend Invitations for dinners and theatre
parties, etc., for the happy pair.
The engaged man Is congratulated,
but the young girl or woman Is offered
the very best wishes for all happiness.
This Is done because the man has won
his bride, and It Is therefore a success
ful ending to his supreme efforts. Tho
woman, of course, wins a husband, but
she Is not the one who has done the
courting.
The ring Is given when the engage
ment Is announced, or, at least, It Is
not openly worn until that time. The

,,pHB'g such a sympathetic person,” said a woman
to me of another; "alwuys listens to your
troubles and understands so well. When my
husband was sick, and they didn't know whether he'd
live or die, she oame In every day. One time I cried on
the couch for two hours, and she sat by me the whole
time, and bathed my head, and was too lovely for any
thing.” 1
"Well. If you like that sort of sympathy you're wel
come to It,” I thought while I made some polite remark,
but none of It for me, please.”
I know that ” sympathetic" woman. She comes In,
listens to your tale of woe and says, "you po-o-or thing!
I know Ju-ust how It U," In such fervent accents that
your self-pity rolls up until It threatens to engulf all the happiness you’ve
ever known.
She’s always telling you that you look pale, and asking If you feel all
light, or stating that she feels ''so sorry for you because you have so much
housework to do." And If she happens to call when you really don't feel
well she runs around In little helpless circles, under the Impression that she
Is doing all sorts of comforting things, and asking every three minutes If
"you really do not need a doctor, beca use you look Just like John's mother
did when sho had that last attack."
A iig for her and her sympathy! The "sympathetic soul" that is worth
while Is she who bustles In with a cheery smile, gives your hand a hearty
clasp and tells you that you never looked better In your life “except for
those two wrinkles between your eyebrows. Whatever are you frowning
about7”
You sml'.e sheepishly and say tha this has gone wrong, and that is not
right, and the children are such a car-, and-”
Does she look sympathetic? Not she.
“Come over here and listen to me," she begins, leading you to a comfort
able sofa, “you’re the most ridiculous person I ever met. Why. who has
more right to happiness on earth than you? Everybody I know says you're
the luckiest woman that ever lived, with such a sweet home and a good hus
band, to say nothing of your splendid children. It's actually wicked for you
to fret about anything!
“But," you begin helplessly, sinking In spite of yourself, "If-”
“But Nothing,” she interrupts, “what would you do If a REAL, trouble
cume along? Why, a 1 of your patience would have been petered out In little
Insignificant worries, and you'd have none left to help you bear It. Now
let me see that new cook-book you've been bragging about.”
When she goes she leaves you smiling happily and wondering what made
you feel so cross before Bhe came.
SHE'S my style of “sympathetic soul."

initials of both the man and hts fiancee,
with the date of the engagement; should
be engraved on the inside of the ring.
The period of engagement is a time
of test. For this reason, some persons
advocate a fairly long engagement, but
as this is not a matter of etiquette, I
think it Is safest not to offer any ad
vice on this point.
It Is a matter which must bo settled
by the young couple and their parents.
An engaged girl should be very care
ful what gifts she accepts from her
fiance. Until they are married young
people should only give each other arti
cles which, if anything Bhould make It
necessary to break the engagement,
may be returned to the giver, says the
writer In the Philadelphia Press.
A chaperone is still necessary on
many occasions. Just because a girl
and man are engaged does not make it
correct for them to do much more than
the averago young person who is not
engaged.
Dignity Is necessary at all times, and
any display of their love for one an
other in public Is distinctly bad form.

There was a young woman without any
mother
Or father or sister or aunty or brother.
Who met a young man In her own
walk and station.
Who hud. 1 am told, not a single rela
tion.
This motherless maid and this father
less Lellow
Went courting each other, and life
seemed all mellow
And sweet, lor they had to please only
each oilier,
And not any aunty or father or mother
“I love you," he said, and he never
diluted
His loti with the hope that his father
was suited!
"I love juu, she said, and she added
no other
Remurk about hoping he'd please her
dear mother.
And love seemed to smile on the whole
of their wooing.
For they passed no stand of relations
reviewing.
They wanted each other and not soma
odd dozens
Of uncles and aunties and parents and
cousins.
And these kinless youngsters, pray note
ye the moral,
Wore married without having had a
real quarrel.
They were not distinguished or wealthy
or clever,
But, oh, they were happy for ever

FASHIONABLE GOWN OFPLAIN
AND DOTTED SILK.
6872—Fancy Blouse, 34 to 42 bust.
6764—Skirt and Pnnel Effect, 22 to 30
waist.
Plain and dotted silks combine to
make many of the smartest gowns
for Indoor wear. This one Is ns
novel os It Is attractive. The skirt Is
slightly full above the circular flounce,
and Is made with a panel that com
bines with the front of the waist to
give the continuous suggestion that is
so much lilted. The waist’ Inc udes a
tiny chemisette with collar of laoe, and
is trimmed with little points of vblvet
that give character to the whole. It
is closed at the back and made In sec
tions that are Joined under the tucks.
In this case, the center-front section
and the wide trimming bands are of
contrasting material, but a totally dif
ferent effect can be obtained by mak
ing the waist of one throughout, with
the trimming of banding or applique
or something similar. If a still more
drossy costume Is wanted, the skirt
can be made long, and various ma
terials could be utilized. Marquisette
or lightweight voile with Batin would
make an exceedingly effective gown;
crepe de chine with satin or with vel
vet would be handsome; messallne is
greatly liked, and combines prettily
with figured material or with velvet.
The waist Is unfilled, as are most of
those made In such style, and In this
Instance Is Joined to the skirt by
means of a belt, making a semi- i
princess gown; but the two are quite
separate, and can be finished sepa
rately, If preferred.
For the medium size the blouse will j
require 3% yards of material 27 Inches
wide, 2% yards 36 or 1% yards 44 Inches
wide, with % yard 24 inches wide for;
the trimming. For the full portions of
the skirt will be required 4 yards of
materia! 27 or 2H yards 44; for the
panel and flounce 3% yards of silk 24
Inches wide will be needed.
A Mny Manton pattern of the blouse,
No. 6872, sizes 34 to 42 Inches bust, or
of the skirt, No. 6754, sizes 22 to 30
Inches waist, will bo mailed to any
address by the Fashion Department of
this paper on receipt of ten cents for
each (If In haste, send an additional
two-cent stamp for letter postage,
which insures more prompt delivery).
The shlrtwntst ring proper Is made
of a matrix, and costs little. "The tur
quoise ones, with a strong green color
ing are admired, and onyx, artificially
oolored, has gained a good place.
Blue Is tremendously popular In all
Its shades, but the smartest Is the
vivid canard blue.

Cathewe bowed and turned on his
heel. Breitmann had really got the
better of him.
A peculiar Interview, and only two
strong men could have handled It In
; so few words. Not a word above nor

! flutter of the eyelids or In the gesture
of the hands, was there any sign that

"I owed her that much,” said Breit

‘‘It did not matter at all to me."
was Cathewe’s thought, as he knocked
on Fitzgerald’s door and heard his
cheery call, "1 only wanted to know
what sort of man he Is."
“Oh, I really don't know whether I
like him or not,” declared Fitzgerald.
"1 have run across him two or three
| times, but we were both busy. He has
tcld me a little about himself, lie’s
been knocked about a good deal. Has a
title, but doesnt use It."
"A title? That Is news to me. Prob
ably It Is true.”
"I was surprised to learn that you
knew him at all.’
"Not very well. Met him In Munich
mostly.”
A long pause.
"Isn't Miss Kllllgrew Just rlppln”’
There's a comrade for some m in
Lucky devil, uho gets her! She Is new
to me every day "
"I think I warned you."
"You were a nice one, never to say a
word that you knew the admiral!”
"Are you complaining?”
Fitzgerald laughed; no not exactly;
he wasn't complaining.
“You remember tho caravan trails In
i the Lyblun desert; the old ones on the
way to Khartoum? The pathway be

"Your bones will be only the tougher

"But what's your opinion regarding
Breitmann?”
Cathewe laced his Angers and bent
his chin on thorn. "There's a great

his skin.* -
CHAPTER XV.
They do A-9nfllng,
FIVE o'clock in the afternoon, and
a mild blue seu liasning under
the ever-deepening orange of the
falling sun. Bolden castles und gruy
iast.es and castles of shudovved-white
billowed ill the east,; turrets rose and
subsided and spires of / clouil-clties
formed and reformed. The yacht Lau
ra, sleek and swan-white, her ensign
and colors folding and unfolding, lift
ing und sinking, as the shore breeze
stirred them, was making reudy for
sea; and many of the villagers hud
come down to the water front to see
her off. Very few sea-going vessels
outside of freighters, ever stopped In
tins harbor, and naturally the depar
tures of the yacht were events equaled
only by her arrivals. The railroad sta
, -ion was close to the wharves, and the
old sailors hated the sight of the bright
rails; for the locomotive hud robbed
I them of tjie excitement of the seml
| weekly packets that used to coast up
and down between New York and
j Philadelphia.
“Wonder what poor devil of n pirate
Is going to have his bones turned over
I this trip?” said the station agent to
Mr. Donovan, who, among others on
the station platform, watched the drab
a,ichor as it clanked jerkily upward
to the bows, leaving a swivel and a boll
on tho waters which had released it so
grudgingly.
"I guess It ain’t goln’ t’ be any ol’
pirate this time,” replied Mr. Donovan,
with a pleasurable squeeze of tho
pocket-book over his heart.
“Well, I hope he finds what he's
going after," generously. “Ho Is the
malnstny of this old one-horse town.
Say, she's a beauty, Isn't she? Why,
man, that anchor alone Is worth more
than we make In four months. And
think of the good things to eat and
drink. If I had a million, no pirates or
butterflies for mine. I’d hie me to
Monte Carlo and bat the tiger all ovei
the place.”
Mr. Donovan knew nothing definite
about Monte Carlo, but ho would have
liked to back up against some of those
New York contractors on their own
grounds.
"HI! There she goes. Good luck!"
cried the station-agent, swinging his
hat with g-usto.
The yacht swam out gracefully
There was a freshening blow from the
ic i
I southwest, but It would take the yacht
i half an hour to reach the deep-sea
swells outside. Her whistle blew
J cheerily and wras answered by the sin
gle tug-boat moored to the railroad
wharf. And after that the villagers
straggled back to their various dally
concerns. Even the landlord of
Swan's Hotel sighed as he balanced
up his books. Business would be slack
for some days to come.
The voyagers wei e gathered about
I the stern-rail and a handkerchief or
l two fluttered In the wind. For an hour
i they tarried there, keeping in view the
green-wooden hills and the white cot
tages nestling at their base. And turn
: by turn thtre were glimpses of the
noble old house at the top of the hill.
1 And some looked upon It for the last
! time.
"I’ve had a jolly time up there,” said
Fitzgerald. The gulls swooped, as they
j crossed and recrossed the milky wake.
"Better time than I deserved."
"Are you still worried about that
j adventure?" Laura demanded. "Dls
I miss It from your mind and let It be
if we had known each other for many
years."
"Ho you really mean that?"
"To be sure I do." promptly. “I have
stepped to the time of convention so
much that a lapse once In a while la
a positive luxury. But Mrs. Coldfleld
bad given me a guaranty before I ad
! dressed you, so the adventure was only
i a make-believe one after all.”
There never was u girl quite like
j this one. He purlulned a sidelong
j glance at her which embruced her
j wholly, from the chic gray cap on the
: top of her shapely heud to the sensi
1 ble little boots on her feet. She wore
1 a heavy, plaid coat, with deep pockets
Into which her hands were snugly
i burled; and she stood braced against
the swell and the wind which was turn
ing out strong and cold. The rich
pigment In the blood mantled her
j cheeks and In her eyes there was still
a bit of captive sunshine. He knew
now that what had been only a pos
' slbillty was an assured fact. Never
j before had he cursed his father's
friends, but he did so now,
j silently and earnestly: for their
pllf< ring fingers and their plaus
ible lies had robbed hlB father's son of
| a tine Inheritance. Money. Never had
he desired It so keenly. A few weeks
ago It had meant the wherewithal to
ray his club dues and to support a de
cent table when he traveled. Now It
was everything; for without It he never
I could dare lift his eyes seriously to
| this lovely picture so close to him, let
I alone dream of winning her. He re
1 cnlled Cathewe’s light warning about
the bones of ducal hopes. What earth
ly chance had he? Unconsciously he
shrugged.
"You are shrugging!” she cried, not
ing the expression; for. If he was se
ct etly observing her, she was surrepti
tiously contemplating his own advan
tages.
"Did I shrug?”
"You certainly did."
“Well," candidly, "It was the thought
of money that made me do It."
"I detest It. too.”
"Good heavens, I didn't say I de
tested It I What I shrugged about was
my own dreary lack of It”
"Bachelors do not require much."
"That's true, but I no longer desire
to remain a bachelor.” The very thing
that saved him was the added laughter,
forced, miserably forced. Fool! The
words had slipped without his think
ing.
"Gracious! That sounds horribly like
a proposal." She beamed upon him
merrily.
And his heart sank, for he had been
earnest enough, for all his blunder.
Manlike, he did not grasp the faot that
under the circumstance merriment was
all she could offer him, if she would
save him from his own stupidity.
"But I do hate money,” she re
affirmed.
“I shouldn’t. Think of what It
brings.”
"I do; begging letters. Impostures,
battle-scarred titles, humbugging shop
keepers, and perhaps one honest friend
In a thousand, and If I married a title,
v hat equivalent would I get for my
money, to put It brutally? A chateau,
which I should have to patch up, and
tolerance from my husband's noble
friends. Not an engaging prospect."
She threw a handful of biscuit to the
gulls, ond there was fighting and
screaming almost In touch of the hands.
Then of a sudden the red rim of the
sun vanished behind the settling land
scape, and all the grim loveliness of
the sea mso up to greet them.
“It Is lonely; let us go and pre
pare for dinner. Look!” pointing to
a bright star far down the east. "And
Corsica lies that way."
"And also madness!” was his
thought.
"Oh, It seems not quite true that wo
are all going a-venturlng as they do
In the story books. The others think
we are Just going to Funchal. Re
member, you must not tell. Think of
it; a real treasure, every franc of
which must tell a story of Its own:
love, heroism and devotion."
“Beautiful! But there must be a
rescuing of rrtneesses and fighting and
all that. I choose the part of remain
ing by the" princess.”
"It Is yours.” She tilted back her
head and breathed and breathed. She
knew the love of living.
