ENGAGED GIRLS—LISTEN!

Don’t .flirt with other men. You Would not care for him to dance ad lib. attendance upon other girls! Don’t neglect, all your friends. Even though you think you do not need them how, you will want them later on. Don’t monopolise his time. Is it fair to expect him to give up his men friends when he becomes engaged to you A Also, if his profession has still to be made, he probably needs time to study. Don’t be catty. If he passes a remark about another girl’s appearance be a sport and agree with him, whether tfiat remark were flattering or not. ■ Try to prove on interesting listener to all he lias to tell you. Men do so appreciate a good listener. Tread warily when speaking of his relatives. Any unfavourable criticism, even from you, will cause him to rise up to their defence, and you to sink a little in his estimation.

Don’t burden him with your business worries as well as his own. His back may be broad, but he will need any reserve strength when he is wage-earn-ing for two. Don’t expect him to lavish his money on you at the theatre or restaurant every time you meet him. A little thoughtfulnesss in that respect from you' will enhance your value in his eyes. ’ Don’t be persistent in ringing him up in the office. He may not care to think his chief has knowledge of those twice or thrice-daily calls. Don’t listen-'to other women who tell you to “keep him guessing,” even although you arc engaged. He might not understand the real motive behind so feeble a flirtation.

Don’t always be too sentimental; try to combine it . with a strong and firm friendship to which he can turn when things go wrong at the office. It is a strain for him to think he’s always got to make love to you. If lie is a keen games enthusiast, don’t say you hate cricket or rugger, or whatever the game may be. Pretend to be interested, and watch his team on the field without a yawn.
