10 Xfcfower) AgiUnreße-s Engaged Couples and Love Blindness By DOROTHY DIX ■ There is no sub ject co n c er n i lig ■which there Is a wider difference of . opinion than there j Is about the ethics j of a betrothal.| Among many for eign people a mar riage engagement is almost as solemn and serious a mat ter as the wedding. Jn the Bast of our own country an en gagement is a sort of quarantine that every other man ex cept her finance away from a girl, •while it doesn't bind him to the »itur j !f he happens to change his mind. In i the South, where they know how to play the love game, an engagement ■ is merely a preliminary skirmish j along the matrimonial line, and, short of the wedding day. either party can j ■<lraw back with honor, and without I breach of promise suits. Nor do individuals agree as to what; privileges and rights an engagement j hestows upon the betrothed. There are men who think that an engage- j ment gives them the full authority of! matrimony, and that they have a per- j feet right to boss their fiancees, and do the jealous Turk act whenever any ; other man shows their particular lady' love the slightest attention. And there are girls who think that] being engaged to a man gives them; the privilege of policing their be-j trothed, and to raise Cain every time; their own Romeos look at another! woman, or give evidence that they are] aware that there is another skirt in the world. A (ialling Tyranny This is pushing a good thing too! fiir. This is tyranny of the most gall ing brand.

Yet there are millions of women who are postively making it hard for themselves, and I might say, too. that the thousand and one prepa rations sold for the purpose of beauti fying the skin help to make it hard instead of easy for the women them selves. The trouble is that the in gredients are nearly nil the same, and when vou have tried one you have practically tried them all. Besides, a skin beautifying cream should be used "A Secret Whose Reanlta <"a» Be Seen In Yonr Mirror l« a Short Time" more liberally than is usually done, but this is expensive. The result is that the average woman must pay a priee out of all proportion to the ef fect produced. There Is one formula which produces most exquisite results in a very short time. There is nothing which can equal it in this regard. Mix one tablespoonful of glycerine and one ounce of /.intone in a pint of water. This makes over a pint of the cream, many times more than you would have to pay for prepared creams which fail to produce the result de sired. In a short time you will find that every blemish and freckle, and all muddlness and sallowness will dis appear, to give way to an absolutely perfect tint, purity and clearness of the skin. The /.intone can be secured at any drug store. MISS X.—You are fretting too much about those wrinkles. You can now rest assured of making a wonderful difference in your appearance in a short time, by using the following formula. It is peculiar that the deeper the wrinkles, the more remarkable sceins to be the effect. It rounds out the face In a surprising way. You mix this at homo in a few moments. To half a pint of hot water, add two tahlespoonfuls of glycerine anil two ounces of cptol. The cream that Is formed should be used daily in liberal quantities. You will find this not only far more economical than the prepared creams sold, but far more effective.

The trade ] has not been closed, nor the goods de livered. It is selfish and overbearing for a man before a marriage to narrow a girl down to his exclusive society, and whatever attentions he chooses to be stow upon her. There's time enough for that when she is his wife and can make him take her about to places she wishes to go. Likewise it is both silly and cattish for a woman to keep a man tied to her apron strings dur ing the days of her engagement. He will have plenty of that sort of thing afterward when he will have to pro- I duce an alibi for every evening he i spends away from her. I As a matter of fact, there would be I a great many more happy marriages j if engaged couples looked upon their betrothal as merely a period of pro ' bation during' which they undertook the serious task of finding out sotne | thing about each other's character i and disposition, and whether they I were temperamentally suited and likely to make of matrimony a glad I sweet song instead of a Kilkenny cat ! fight. There are a great many worthy men and admirable women who, with the ; best intentions in the world, and even with a sincere affection for each other, are so antagonistic by nature that if i they marry they will make each other more miserable than any deliberate | villain could. It should be the prov ince of the engagement to reveal this | state of affairs and to give the hapless | couple a chance to withdraw on the safe side of the altar. Too Much Cioogoo Talk It is a thousand pities that engaged ' couples, instead of billing and cooijig, j and asking each other "oose ducky is loo?" and will "oo ever get tired of me?" and does "oo love me a million. —--r - r I have been almost unbelievable.

There wouldn't be so many divorces If every engaged man would pin a girl down to brass tacks before he married her and ascertain if she was prepared to do her own cooking, and make her own clothes, and undertake, the hardships of a poor'man's wife. Xor would there be so many family spats, or so many neglected wives If the engaged young man would find out whether his sweetheart had ad vanced views about* women's rights, and intelligence enough to understand when he talked to her about the books in which lie was interested. Nor would there be so many dis contented wives if engaged girls would get the views of their future lords 6n the subjectof a wife's rights, financial and otherwise, and find oiit whether the man she was purposing to marry intended to make up an un paid servant, a plaything,, or a real companion of her. Every engaged man and woman should be a Sherlock Holmes on the trail of the man or woman he or she is purposing to marry. Every char acteristic should be studied, every word weighed, every act analyzed, and if the investigation convinced either party that the marringe would be a mistake there should be no difti i culty in breaking the engagement, | and no discredit attached to doing so. For this reason the breach of | promise suit should be thrown out of | court, and the man or woman who breaks ail engagement instead of be ! ing penalized, should be honored for i having the courage to own up to hav ing made a mistake, and taken steps to correct it before it was too late. At most a broken engagement is a pin prick to affection and pride, but a ; divorce or miserable marriage is a I stab at the very heart of society.

Two months from today we'll be back In Los Angeles." "Say, boys." remarked Captain Jonas, "what do you think I saw to day? I saw a wild man." "We saw him, too!" Steele said. "And he cursed ua up and down fof slaughtering the lions, which he called his friends." "Wonder who he is?" murmured Jones, thoughtfully. "Perhaps he's somebody's father In the Statos. Who knows." "I think 1 caught, him in my camera," said Steele. "I'll develop the plate. You fellows wait. I'll see vrhat I've got."

Duncan Jones would return from Africa. The month now was June. In the library by th«l open window Edith's mother sat In her wheel chair, watching the gathering of the crimson blossoms which grew so profusely in the garden surround ing the Wayne bungalow. Mrs. Morris from "next door" came across the lawn, her countenance gos siping of important news. "Edith!" she said, "have you heard the tidings? Capt. Duncan Jones and his friends returned from their African hunting trip this morning." "Oh, goody!" exclaimed the ever enthusiastic Edith. "You will see that I meet him, won't you, dear Mrs. Mor ris?" "That I will, darling. And this very night, too." "Tonight?" "Yes! I've already phoned to my fellow-patronespps of the assembly ball —and we're going to give a dance tonight—impromptu—ln honor of Cap tain Jones and his party." At ten o'clock that, night the assem bly ball was in full awing. Edith had already danced with many young men who were more or less open aultora for her hand. More than one of these fashionable swains had proposed to her. But each In turn had become a "brother" through the diplomacy of Edith Wayne. She had no one fa vorite among them. She liked them all, but she loved none. Capt. Duncan .Tones, after a tango with one of the beautiful maidena o( the City of Angels, excused himself and left the ballroom. He was cross ing an anteroom on his way out for a smoke when he met Mrs. Morris. They chatted till the ballroom again swarmed with dancers doing the max ixe. Edith danced past the doorway ol the anteroom. "There!" said Captain Jones. "There's the girl I want to meet, Mrs. Morris. T>o you know her?" The result was that when the max- Jxe ended, Edith entered the ante roora and Mrs. Morris forthwith pre sented Capt. Duncan Jones. Edith felt a distinct quake in ber ■oul. Her heart beat fast. The cap tain, she was certain, with his bronzed face and athletic form, was the hand somest, manliest man she had ever seen. "Shall we dance?" asked Captain Jonea, as the orchestra broke forth Into another of the Argentine step*. "No," Edith replied. "I want to ask you about Africa." They strolled out into the moonlit garden, where the air was flower-per fumed and where fountains made gur gling, tinkling music. They talked of Africa, and Edith told him of her own childhood passed In the jungle and of the tragic passing of her father. Near the end of tills, their first happy hour together lu the moonlit gArden, Captain Jones said: "And —oh, yes—lu the jungle I met a wild man." "Wild man!" Edith exclaimed. ""Black, of course!" "No. White!" "A white wild man! How strange! Why did you not get his story?" "We couldn't," Jones replied. "He wms a sort of human island entirely surrounded by wild animals. And our Kafirs refused to try to find him for ns. He was wild, yet, somehow, Miss Wayne, in the one brief encounter i had with that wild man there was something about him that deeply In terested me. He seemed to be—com pletely In tune with the wild." Edith started. "In tuns with tha wild!" the cried, S4 % l° w i thoughtful ton*. "How.co HAVE YOU SEEN THIS HOOK Examine it at Our Off ice.

And be sure you bring In particular the one showing the wild man." The following evening Captain Jones dined, en famllle, with the Wayne family. After dinner Jones and Uncle •Steve foregathered in the smoking den and puffed their cigars till Edltl entered, saying: '7 just can't wait, captain. I wan' to see those photographs right away.'
