THE THING THAT FEW KNo'

THE THING THAT FEW KNOW.
"How shall man propose in order
20 be successful in his suit p repeated
one of our most intelligent society Ia
dies. whose silver locks only serve to
enhance the beauty of her still youth
full face. "In my opinion, though all
men know well enough how to make
love- there is not one in thousand
who knows how to propose. My hus-
band spent six months protesting and
convincing me of his love- which, by
the way, was well aware from the
FIRST without once asking me the i'm
portant question, win you marry me"
and finally one day said to me, with
disheartened air, You are like all the
rest, perfect enigma. 1 have spent
months trying to win you, and do not
know that have made any impression
upon you; you are as hard to unravel
as the scarf you wear around your
throat This 1 exclaimed, in the
most innot ent way, why, 'tis no diff
cult task to unravel it, if you only get
hold of the right string He saw the
point, took hold of the right string,
and" ellis arm took the place of the
scarfP" "Well, neither of us have
ever regretted it."
ON HIS KNEES.
One lady, the wife of a learned
Judge, said: "'Tis eighteen years
since that dear man made a fool Of
me, and after so great lapse Of time
you cannot expect me to remember
how he did it, I'll VOW he went down
on his knees, though you wouldn't
think it to look at his rotund proper
tions. And was silly enough to be-
lieve every word he said, and when
he declared solemnly that he would
shoot himself if 1 did not marry him
of course 1 consented, just to save his
life; but I'll not be 80 silly another
time-if he only gives me the chance" :"
"Don't believe a word of that"
chimed in the judge from behind his
paper. al was actually compelled to
ask her to marry me TO get rid of the
trouble of taking her or some other
gil around; l saw she was in love
with me, and thought she would do as
well as any other. Now, that sums
up the whole history Of this case"
VIGOROUS CoURTsHIP.
A bright-eyed girl, who is a skillful
angler for hearts, thinks young man,
to be successful, should propose after
a very short acquaintance, take the
girl by storm, as it were, while she is
pleased with new beau, and before
she has time to tire of him, then fol-
low the proposal up with vigorous
courtship, lots Of flowers and bon bons,
drives. theatre parties, etc., and, if she
consents, insist upon short engage
ment by all means.
UNEXPECTED VOWS.
Another well-known blonde beauty
who has created sad havoc, and had
much experience in this line, says the
only successful way is to propose when
least expected. Allow no time fol
consideration, and then insist that the
acceptance must be "now or never
She feels sure that is the only way that
she win ever be captured, but sh'
thinks few men are bold enough to try
that game.
LOVERS BoREs.
One well-known belle and beauty
says that she has had 50 many make
love to her that she hardly knows
what is the best and most successful
method. She was more occupied IL
studying how to prevent an approach
TO the subject than in facilitating it
Beaux were all lovely until they be
came lovers, then they became bores
for they moved, thought and talked
constantly Of themselves and theil
happiness, while she wished to b,
thinking Of herself and her own hap
piness. Marriage is quite anothe
thing, is quite easily settled when on
finds suitable partner"
AROUND THE WAIST.
A married lady, in whose household
the little god of love certainly mad
his abude, says the only successful
proposit on of which she knows any
thing was made without a word beinj
spoken: "John and l sat looking il
the lire a long time, without saying
anything. when all at once he put hi
arm around me, drew me to him anC
kisstd me. When father came in
moment later he said: Major, In
going to steal your daughter"
Willy wIDowERs.
A dark-eyed girl, with a tangle o
soft brown hair shading her brow, say
"if fellow is desperately in love will
girl, and persistent in his efforts t.
win her, he is sure to gain his suit
Widowers understand this point, an,
know exactly how to make love an
propose, and you will observe they ar
always successful" She knows on
case where a widower went in an,
hung up his hat, announcing his intel
tion of remaining until he was ac
ceptad, and the girl had to marry hin
to get rid of him. A widower bea
makes her nervous about the result.
