Forming engagements.
Thackeray explained tho prejudice OF
ladies against tobacco as being due to
the superior claims of the latter on the
affections Of young men. Yet the great
novelist could not but have known that
in many countries tobacco plays very
important part as preliminary to court
ship and the closer union Of the sexes.
In certain parts Of Holland when
Young man thinks he has found his al
finity it is customary for him to call for
q match to light his cigar at the door OF
his loved ones house. This little sub
terfuge is intended to arouse the pa
rents OF the girl to the fact that some.
thing is in the wind. n second call
with a similar object ~ made soon after,
no doubt is left OF the young mans IN
tcntions, and the parents proceed to N
yestigate tho young mans character and
antecedents, with a view OF ascertaining
his eligibility as member OF the family.
When he calls the third time, always
for a match to light his cigar, they are
prepared to give him an answer. II his
suit is regarded with favor he is politely
requested to step inside for the first
time, and is served with light II he
is not accepted he is refused a light,
and the door is shut in his face without
further ceremony But, having pre-
pared for this contingency, the down
cast suitor will in all probability light
his weed with match from his own
box and walk away musing on the tran
STORY nature of all earthly things.
