The}: hinted at things to the deaf
old housekeeper. but it was impos-
sible to make her understand. She
was stone deaf. almost. Xothing to
be got out of her.
But more and more the feeling
rose against the Manor House.
There was a revival on in Maytown.
There was a general feeling that the
happenings in the Manor House
ought to be stopped. Especially
after the beautiful young lady in a
sort of crinoline rode away on a
white horse at four o'clock in the
morning.
L‘cn \l'illctt vouched for this. He
had heard the horse passing his
father's house. and had crept out of
bed and run to the window. She
had a pale face. and looked so proud.
as if all Maytown were dirt beneath
her feet.
Something had to be done. Des»

agreed. The place ought to be raid-

a nightly occurrence. Especially on

agreed with them. The Manor
House was a menace to the health
and morale of the community.
A dozen men and women gathered
to concert a plan. Mrs. Elliott and

man whom she desires above all
other things in life to marry. The!
are almost on the verge of an en—
g'agement.
But something has happened
which looks like causing a lot ed
trouble.
Before this man came on the scene
she had one or two men friends who
liked her very much to the extent
of buying her several rather expen-
sive presents on her birthdays and
at Christmas and other festive occa-
lions.
There is a matter of a gold wrist-
let watch. a brooch or so, a pair of
very mart earrings, a handsome
has. a slave-bangle and a ring.
All obviously the sort of gifts the
girl is not in the position to buy
herself.
Now this girl has very sensibly
told her beloved where these things
came from, with the additional in.
formation that though she liked the
givers there was never anything
more than just joint. pleasant
friendship between them.
But the man is not content with
this. He Wants her to return or
otherwise dispose of the presents.
And until she does so he refuses to
go out With her.
And she, no doubt to show her in-
dependence. or what she thinks is
independence, flatly refuses to part
with them.
What is more the man she is
about to be engaged to is not able to
make her expensive presents. Not
that this worries her in the least.
Only she doesn't see why she should
have to give away her very useful
and elegant presents because he re.
sents them.

It is neither fair nor kind.
And this girl in making up her
mindtobangontotheeepresents
in spite of what she calls her lover's
unreasonable Jealousy is behaving
like a greedy silly.
After all, what are a few trinkets
to a man's love?
Which does she value most. these
geegaws or the prospects of a happy
marriage and a contented home?
Give any the presents. sell them.
and send the money to some charity,
or, better still, return them to the
men who gave them. enclosing a
sensible little note explaining the
situation. In any case make your
peace by getting rid of them in
some fashion.
And now a ‘word to other girls
about the presents men give them.
Accept flowers, chocolates. theater
tickets. but nothing more.
Don't allow a man to give you
jewelry, expensive knickknacka. if
you are not engaged to him. for the
good and simple reason that things
are going to be awkward when the
One and Only shows up and sees
them trotted out one by one.
He will ask questions which won't
be easy to answer. and though there
may have been the most harmless
and innocent motives behind the
gifts. he being in love and jealous.
as most men in love are. will think
more than you bargain for.
I know girls are crazy about pres-v
cuts. and to some extent it is very
natural, but they cannot expect a
young man to view them at all
kindly. -
A safe rule for a girl is to accept
nothing but perishable presents from
men who are nothing to her.
In any case a girl is behaving like
a very big fool when she flaunts
other men's gifts in the eyes of the
man she is going to marry.
Engagements have been broken
for less than this.

So now, while we are young, let
