Ordinarily a man is not supposed to send even his fiancee-money, but the following letter illustrates a typical wartime situ-, atlon that will, I know, be of personal interest to many of my readers: "The man to whom I am betrothed has been overseas for seven months.

Just the other day I received a letter from him enclosing a money order. He says that since he is not allowed to send gifts from "where is is, the only way he could send me a birthday gift was to send me the money and let me pick out something of my choice. I have always been taught that even when they are engaged the man should not give a girl money ever. But I wonder if the fact that there is a war on alters this propriety, and if 'yes', what do you think would be the sort of. things I ought to buy? He gave me my ring, of course, before he sail ed." The war docs alter this propriety very much, particularly in the situation of your fiance who must either ask.

you to choose your present, or ask a third person to do this as a go-between. If the amount is large enough tor buy a Victory bond, I think yqu could find no better "ought" than that.
