What the Ladies Have to Say About 1t
Louisville Courier Journal.

Louisville Courier Journal
A bright-eyed girl, who is a skillful angler
for hearts, thinks young man, to be success
full, should propose after very short ac-
quantance-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
follow the proposal up with vigorous court
ship, lots of flowers and bon bons drives,
theatres, parties ETC., and if she consents,
insist upon short engagement by all means.
Another well-known blonde beauty, who
has created sad havoc and had much expert
ence in this line, says the only successful
way to propose is when least expected. Allow
no time for consideration, and then insist
that the acceptance must be nov or never"
She feels sure that is the only way that she
will ever be captured; but she thinks very
few men are bold enough to try that game
A handsome young widow, we'll known in
society circles, who is not so rich as she was,
says that the only successful way to win her
with plenty of money to keep them up
A dark-eyed girl with tangle of soft
brown hair shading her brow, says: IF fel-
low is desperately in love with girl, and is
persistent in his efforts to win her, he is sure
to gain his suit Widowers understand this
point and know exactly how to make love
and propose, and you will observe they are
always successful" She knows one case
where a widower went in and hung up his
hat announcing his intention of remaining
until he was accepted, and the girl had to
marry him to get rid Ofhim. A widower beau
makes her nervous about the result.
One sweet, dreamy-eyed girl, who is just
on the threshold of society, says: Love max
ing must be so sweet that she would wish
her lover to be long time making the ap-
proaches, and she would not shorten the de-
lights of an engagement; if they tire of each
other it would be better before than after
marriage. She is not particular as to his
style, but he must be tall and handsome, and
sing and dance WELL and, above all, he must
know how to make love-" This girls name
must be kept secret.
One society belle, who has spent several
seasons in the field" says she will give
man all the time he wants to make up his
mind to "begin the SIEGE" but when he does
begin he must 60 straight through without
showing the white feather" She detests
diminishing" it only gets one wrought up
for the fray" nothing is accomplished, and
it requires all ones nervous force to endure
a Campaign" of this nature, to say nothing
of the modification of several defeats"
A handsome, youthful looking matron, the
mother oft charming daughters, sufficient
ly we'll endowed with this worlds goods,
gives it as her opinion that the young man
should, by all means, make his proposition
first to the mother; produce his pedigree and
bank account for inspection, then, if his per-
sonal appearance and good common sense are
also approved, he may be turned over to the
young lady. His intentions having been de-
clared the love making may begin.
The daughter says: Mamma is all wrong.
wouldn't marry man that went around in
that cold-blooded manner. I don't want
anybody to examine my bank account before
they make up their mind to fall in love with
me, and as to pedigree, our common grand
mother, I am told, was monkey. | am
tired Of this kind of business, and if he
doesn't propose to me because he's afraid of
mamma, I'll propose to him. Why shouldn't
girls have that privilege"
