The Toronto Bulletin says:—"It looks as if the Royal Arcanum, one of the best, if not the best of the fraternal as sessment societies, is doomed to early distinction. This may be regretted, especially where the decaving body has been honestly conducted and bears a good record, all which seems to be true respecting the Royal Arcanum. But death from exhaustion is the fate of the assessment societies." What do you Think of this Girls. A crowd of girls in a certain town has organized a society for the discour agement of the habit of waiting until the last minute before announcing en- gagements. 'l hey say that an engage- ment ought to be announced months before the marriage occurs, as this would give the friends of both parties a chance to save up money to buy presents, and not have to go in debt for them. Another thing,when the en- gagement is announced" early the girls understand that the young man is not in the market, and can turn their at• tention to others. lSchoolliaorilIU tes. June 22nd, 1894.
