A BROKEN ROMANCE.

CANCELLED ENGAGEMENT. SEQUEL TO ALL-DAY TALK. It was announced recently in Madias that Miss Evelyn Triggs, the 28 year-old Stockport teacher, whose engagement to the Rev. G. W. Bowker, of the Wesleyan Mission in Madras, and formerly of Stockport, was broken off when Miss Triggs ariived from Ceylon, spent a whole day discussing with her fiance before taking the decision to cancel the wedding. The couple had not met since their romance began in England four years ago, and on Miss Triggs' arrival in Madras, it is said, they found that they were no longer congenial to one another. Miss Triggs' hosts iri Madras say that (here is nothing sensational in the break-ing-off of the engagement. The couple-, considered the position, and decided that the wisest thing to do would be to break the engagement. Her hosts state that Miss Triggs, in a message sent from the ship, had given Mr. Bowker warning of a possiblo breaking-off of the engagement. In this message she said that she was not regarding the prospect of marriago with so much eagerness as originally. As MisS Trigg is a trained kindergarten teacher, sho is likely to obtain a post in a European school in ono of the South Indian hill stations. Moreover, she has a cousin, Mrs. Weatherhead, the wife of a prominent Wesleyan preacher, living in India. Mr. Bowker is greatly distressed. Miss Triggs resolutely refuses to discuss the matter.
