during the evening before to party. The
gentleman might say that she looks fatigued.
On her reioining that this was a foolish
thought, he will get an opportunity Of say
ing: Not foolish, Emily; feel too mnoh
Interested in you to permit my own wishes
to run counter to your welfare" This is
properly called the magnificent style of be-
ginning. But very often the young lady is
consiaerate enough to assist her bashful
lover. For instance. there was once timid
PLpnix's jokes; when she asked him how

lived in house with sanded paint" and
then she looked things unutterable. If he
had asked her: What fos?" she would have
hated him. But he didn't. He took the
hint, aud the match WAS struck then and
there. This method of giving hint has

Then said the lass while Fred was all agog,

Then he tried it. and while he held her
hand she explained to him about the mus

"Willie," whispered Miss Flynn, very
'rintly.
