Maidens- Shall a Man

one OF our most intelligent society
ladies, whose silver locks only serve 70
enhance the beauty of her still youthful
face. "In my opinion. though all men
know well enough how TO make love,
there is not one in 4 thousand who
knows how TO propose. My husband
spent six months protesting and con.
vincing me Of his love, OF which. by
the way, ! was we'll aware from the
first, without once asking me the i'm
poriant question, viii YOU marry me ?
and finally one day said to me, with a
dishcartcncd air, you are Ike all the
rest, a perfect enigma. | have spent
months trying to win you, and do not
know that have made any impression

point, took hold of the right string,
and, his arm took the place of the
scarf? Well, neither of Us have ever re-
gre,tcd it,"

One lady, the wife Of learned Judge.
said: "''ris eighteen years since that
dear man made a tool of me, and after
so great lapse OF time you cannot cx.

I'll VOW he went down ON his knees,
though you wouldn', think it to loos

VIGOROUS COCRT>illP.
y brighteycd girl, who is skilliul
angler for hearts, thinks a Young man.
to be successful, should propose after 4
very short acquaintance, take the girl
by storm, aS it were, while She is pleas
ed with 4 new beau, and before she has
time To tire of him; then follow the
proposal up with a vigorous courtship,
lots OF flowers and bon bons, drives,
theatre, parties, etc, and, if she con
Scnts, insist upon 4 short engagement
by all means.
tSENPECTED 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 for con.
Sideration, and then insiS, that the ac-
Ccp;anCc must be "now or orncvcr." She
feels sure that is the only way that She
will ever be captured. bu, She thinks
very few men are bold enough TO try
that game.
LovTE> EORES.
One wcll-known belle and beauty
says that "shc mas had 50 many make
love to her that She hardly knows what

She WAS more occupied in studying how

than in facilitating it. BcauX were all

they became borcs, for they moved.
thought and talked constantly of them
selves and their happiness, while She
wished TO be thinking OF herself and
her own happiness. Marriage is quite
another thing, is quite easily settled
when one finds suitable partner"
AROUND THE WAIST,
\ married lady, in whose household
the little god OF love certainly made
his abode, says the only successful pro-
position of which she knows anything
was made without word being spoken:
'John and | sat looking in the fire n

Widowc!S 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 4 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 OF
him. \ widowcr beau makes her nerv-
ous about the result.
