It must intleed be a great relief to a young man to have got a business interview with girl's father successfully over. to have sottod marriage settlements, and to have nothing to do but enjoy the engagement period. It is related in the biography of Charles Kingsley that a friend one day went to his little carate's lodging and found him jumping in and out of a portmanteau he was packing, shouting, "I'm engaged, I'm engaged, and am off to see her Every young man who is honestly in fove will anderstand this outburst of feeling.

My wife and I arö now taking great interest in the love affaire of a young friend, who is a lieutenant in the Royal Navy. The other day when we were having tea with him on board his ship he said, "Try these little cakes: they were made by my nose. She has taken to cookery, and has soat them by parcel post as a specimen of her skill.”
This young lady sent the result of her culinary skill after she was engaged, but it would be better if it were the custom for girls to forward suples of cookery, duly certified to be their own, to the young men of their fancy at the beginning of their acquaintance.
Another practical form of courtship would be for ladies who have gone with credit through a course of cookery ut a recognised, school, to“ wear a medal at evening parties, and on other public occasions. What an attraction the weer- ing of this would be to innocents in quest of wives. "May I intrudace you to Miss So-aud. of "Doen she wear a medal for wokery ?**
