Leap year has become peculiarly rec
ognized as the year OF grace for ladies
| fair. How long ii is since the fancy
that every fourth year the gentler sex
are privileged to put the all-important
question no one can remember. 1t was
tradition in the days OF our grand
mothers. In those days 1t was nothing
more than tradition. 1t Was never
considered until within the present gen.
Grafton as more than pleasant super
stitlon; one Of those things to &c talked
and laughed about, but never done. The
last half of the nineteenth century, how
ever, is making facts out OF many old fic-
tions, and the prerogative OF women to
propose marriage one year out.of every
four threatens to be one Of them. We have
been coming nearer and nearer to the
realization Of the full and perfect COM
pleteneSS of the thing. Leap year par
ties and balls were long stride in the
direction of it. When girl can in
vite beau to attend an entertainment
under her escort, can take him to the
hall, look after the proper disposition
of his wraps, bring him an ice or such
other refreshment as he may desire,
solicit his favor for the first dance, at
tend him home and in every way assume
masculine role society is perilously
near the point of surrendering the
whole case.
