Mr.. Culver caught Susanna's two hands
In his and locked into her two eyes with
such a Pleading, pathetic, intense sincerity
that all her plans were consumed as straw
in a fierce blaze, and she simply tumbled
into his arms and let him finish the proposals

Love and JOY.

F there was one thing in all her ex-
perence that Susanna Morton was
Ii heartily tired of il was the evident
and continuous purpose OF mankind TO
permit her To remain spinster.
True, she had been one so long it would
seem that she should have become ac-
customed to it, but by some strange fatality
women. that is, the ma sOrity OF women
never accept their lot in this form with that
calm resignation and beautiful Christian
spirit which has wonfor them the endearing
title Of tie gcntler sex
And Susanna Morton had put up with it
just as long as she was going to.
Four leap years had passed her by and
she had submitted gracefully. bat each year
tess gracefully than she had done the year
previously, and there were moments in the
last of the four when she became almost
desperate. Now that fifth had come her
mind was made up. She would take the
rcins OF Cupid iii her own hands and drive
that harum- Scarum little rascal in a manner
10 suit herself. She knew her good POINTS

years Old or tlereahoutS and Possessed
pose ana balance no man who was looking
for real sensible woman as a wife could
afford to disregard. In addition to this
she had-what men seldom disregard-a
comfortable fortune.
1t was fortune that had been the real
stumbling block in the matriu OniaI path
of Susanna, and not any lack OF attractive
qualities in her possession, for she was not
homely nor was she anything but charm
ing. The fortune, however, which was hers
from her sixteenth birthday, had deycI-
oped in her fear that men sought her
for her money, and not for herself, and
never having fallen i'm love with auy OF
her courticrS, she did not find it difficult
to resist advances, believing, as she did,
that men were merConary wreGch-s as a
rule and that some day the one man in
all the world for her would appear and
claim her as his own.
However, he did not appear, and he CON
tinued not TO appear until Susanna had
reached an age and a firmness of character.
to put it mildly, when her fortune would

Hired SMains.

A curious custom prevails in some prov
inceS of Holland during the carnival sea-
son. Young women of the working class
especially domestic servants who have no
sweetheart of their o WI. are in the habit of
hiring Followers for their Sunday out or
for the whole of the carnival period These
lovers are by no means to had very cheap.
often two or three maids will club together
and share lover among them, if he comes
too expensive for one girl.
This temporary lover has many duties to
perform. OF course, he must be good look
ing and well dressed-"fit to be seen with
anywhere He must likewise possess good
conversational powers. Besides receiving
a variety OF valuable presents from his
girls he is "fOund'' by them in victuals
and drink. If young woman can afford
TO enga ge SWAIN all to herself 50 much
the better, for the hireling often develops
into real lover, and ultimately into hus-
band. II can thus be said that in some lis
tricts of Holland the girls do alltbe wooing.

have to be at least doubled to make her as
attractive as she was a 90.
This knowledge had come to her gradually,
but was none the less forceful on that ac-
cOunt, and she was determined not to leI this
leap year pass without results OF q lasting
character.
or the men in her train there We're per-
haps half dozen who were eligible, and
any one of them would have made hus-
band any woman could be proud of. But
they We're merely friends. Not man Jack
of them had ever suggested such thing as
matrimony to her, and, possibly, this was
why she liked them, So perverse is the
nature of woman.
Among this half dozen was one who
found the greatest favor in SuSanna's eyes
the Others taking their positions after him
in regular graduation, and this one Susanna
selected as her victim for leap year, re-
solved to try all the others in case of failure
in the first instance.
Truly Susanna was desperate spinster.
And no less spry, for in the course of his
first call i'll the new year she began her
operations. But 1t was q dreadful task,
and the evening passed without a single
step taken forward. The effort had been
made, however, and courage always comes
with effort.
When he came again she was so wrought
up over the work before her tibet her eyes
spanked and her cheeks glowed in rosy
color.
why, bless my soul, Miss Susan he
said, "how pretty you look this evening"
He was ten years older than she and al
ways assumed that bless-my-soul style afl
fected by elderly men.
"Oh, thank you, Mr.. Culver" she twit-
tered. I'm sure you only think SO. l look
just as always look"
"Of course. Miss Susanna, only slightly
more So" he smiled, but there was that in
the tone which had the ring OF insincerity,
or at least superficial and social sincerity,
which is very nearly the same thing, and
which made Susanna despise the flattery of
men that so far had meant to do her no
dissolution of her spinsterhood
She was good natured about it, however,
and let Mr. Culver go on with whatever he
had to say, for if there was any man who
could make flattery any more palatable TO
her than any other man that man was Mr..
Culver. But it was soon over, and when he
had fixed himself comfortably in an easy
chair with W hich he wa familiar, he seemed
to have forgotten whether Susanna locked
like fright or fairy and began talking
about all sorts of things, as people who talk
for the mere sake OF talking.
