origin of Leap Year Proposals and
Womnn's Rights.
There is quite an interesting and little
known history connected with the intro
duction OF leap year. In 1888, when Queen

or low degree, should propose to the man
that she loved, and that If the man were
not betrothed already he must either wed
the maid or pay heavy fine.
On the death OF Queen Margaret the
women were urgent in their demands that
their new privileges should be continued.
To appease them an act of Parliament was
passed which made 1t lawful for maidens
to do the proposing every leap year
