No matter how ready-hearted Angela
may be, there is a little perfunctOry
heSitancy, only natural to her mod
eSty, and you must not give her the
opportunity to turn the current of her
wOOing. Do not stop to tell her that
you only take three glasses of claret
with your dinner, or that you don't owe
a cent in the world. Information of
this sort you should convey to her long
before you ask the mOmentOus queS-
ton; it is relevant, no doubt, and
may abet your effort greatly, but
yet it Is proSaic and out OF
keeping just at the moment or
crisis. The more markedly you cOnfine
yourself to declaring your love and ask
ing her hand, the better. Bear in mind
always that proposal partakeS of the
nature of an onslaught; that no matter
how apt and willing your lady love may
be, she has still a maidenly sense of
preservation, and you must afford her
no opportunity of avoidance, but bind
her most StrenuOuSly TO the issue. Give
her but the slightest preteXt for branch
ing off upon size Issue of controversy
and you will never pin her to the point.
AT all times a WOman'S perception OF de-
ceit is keener than a mans. and 1t Is pc
culiarly so when the matter under con-
sideratiOn concerns her affections. 1t is
the charity, not the blindness, of women
which makes them tolerant of want
of charity in men they love. You cannot
cozen Angela, and it is distinctly indis-
Greet to make the attempt. DO not try TO
make her believe that you are better
fellow than you are. If she gives you
her heart it is not because you are the
noblest of men. If we were loved for
our deserts only, we should all die lOrn
bachelors: it is in spite of your defects
that she loves you, and it would do
you no good TO trick her if you could.
Tell her honestly that you are
but an Indifferent honest fellow,
not more than paSsablv clever, not
too well furnished in worldly gear-say
this by way of preface, leaving her no
opportunity for other interruption than
a formal protest at yourSelf-depreciatiOn
and then-then at her, my merry man;
tell her how you love her, and have no
fear of pitching your song too high on
this pOint-swear that you love the
street. she lives upon, and if you do not
YOU are no true lover.

Canadian Counting Limit.

Canadian girls, it is said, allow their
lovers six months to make decision. If
the youth is particularly bashful and
the young lady is indulgent she may

contributions of the sap of the maple.
with which he comes laden to her fresh
from the forest, for another three
months, But unless somewhere in that
time he asks her to be his own he must
seek other firesides. She doesn't weep
at the parting or make any time over
it. There are as good fish in the sea as
ever were caught, she argues, and in
that reflection she finds. consolation for
the miSspent time. Canadian girls are
not only pretty, but they are all trained
to make good hOusekeeperS.

my idea. A st. LOUIS journal once
made a comparison between Lolita and
myself In the course of it the writer
said that Lolita wore short skirts, sat on
tables and the back of chairs, and made
the most liberal display OF hosiery i'm
aginable. But nobody minded her. The
ladies laughed as they would over the
antics of child. CaStletOn, he went OIL

lifted her skirt and showed two inches
of embroidered underwear every lady
in the house put her fan before her
eyes.
OF course, this came from the way in
which | lifted the skirt, from the COLI
sciOus glance, the quick dropping of the
skirt again and the mock modest mien
which accompanied every movement.
The result is that everybody gets an
impression that / have done something
awful. But what has anybody seen:
NOthing-absolutel nothing. To put
it into figures, they have seen few
inches of colOred stockings and few
inches more of the lOvelieSt embroidery

all. They haven't seen my limbs. They
have seen my ankles. Everything else
resides in their teemlng and eXuberant

Petey Roanoke was Val Pumplts
cousin. The resemblance was not only
striking, but legitimate. He didn't
know why he should 90 to Hoboken,
but he felt an unaccOuntabe desire to
visit the woods again. At sharp 3,
therefore, he revisited the place OF rem

and rowing skirt, and her hair was
done up inside a closely fitting cap.
This time he was on his guard. AS
she lunged at him he ducked neatly
and escaped. The next pass
she caught cOllar-and-elbO lock
and for a few moments they struggled
and painted awfully. She landed kiss
under his chin. He got back on her
elbow. Then they played for advan-
tage. A false move OH his part gave
her the pull. She got home on his ton
sis. and followed it up Oh his left lung.
He rallied and kissed the cOrnS off her
knees. She countered on his wish-bone:
After that, he gave up the unequal
contest. He flung her into Il tree and
stood gazing at her with certain hau-
teur as she swung slowly to and FRO.

"Why will you not forget and be

"Do you want to break my heart?'

"YOu won't. then?"

Then he turned, and with mocking
laugh called cab to take him to the
depot. He left her hanging there. She
called after him: 'There is a grave
between us, but-kiss me, Petey."

did not stop at HobOken, where he

HER CHARMS.

1t is not that her face is fair
Above all mortal faces;
1t is not that still fingers there
A charm from childhood's graces.
1t is not that her smiles like light
Hume the hearts that love her
Her eyes so blue, and not too bright
Are like the stars above her.
1t is not this, nor that, nor aught
OF isolated sweetness;
IT'S something Love throughout has wrought
To beautiful completeness.
something we caunot define
An influence about her,
That renders things in her divine
Which were not so without her.
Even as scenes not rare grow rare
When sunset nues have crowned them,
Her graces shine supremely fair
In that pure light around them.
