(From the Washington Starr
Ladies Law Of Leap-YsaE.

The advent of the Leap-Year season
has had the effect Of again starting in
quiry as to the origin oi the custom
which allows women during Leap Year
to assume a privilege which, during the
other three years. is the sole preroga-
tive of men. To trace the origin or
foundation Of this custom is a work Of
no small magnitude; every step is be-
set with difficulties formidable and
seemingly Insurmountable; days, weeks
and months have been spent, and very
little gained to repay the expenditure.
Old musty and dust-laden tones have
been patiently examined in the effort TO
find something upon which to base a
theory in the absence OF any tangible
fact. but without success. Those who
possess ever so little knowledge Of an
tIauity are aware that its current Of
thought differed very much from its ten
dency in our own period. This instinc-
tive feeling is by no means without q
basis IN fact.
II Il be true that the same motives
ruled men in the former ages a. at pre-
sent. Il must still BE- allowed that the
sources of their knowledge have been
unknown to us, and that something in
iBiteIy more potent than Imagination
originated the traditions aud monuments
that have come down TO our tine. Mod
ern philosophy and ali our habits OF
thought suppose the progressive devel-
opment of institutions, and Herewith
Of arts and sciences. Atthe same time,
however. Il cannot be denied that GER
tain foundations of knowledge have been
allowed 10 dry up, a. the wells Of Abra-
ham we're filed with dust. What these
were are clearly indicated by the mis-
sing links in the chain Of events, which
alone can furnish information as to the
origin of many Of our customs and ira
ditions. After all, il seems to have
been one Of those mythical legends,
which after long years j. accepted as a
fact. and that The ladies have greater
pris ilege during the 800 days Of leap
year than during those that contain only
365.
The privilege Of ladies choosing their
husbands is thus explained in work
entitled Love, Courtship and Mar
rage, London, 1876. "Albeit il has
