HOW WOMEN MAY PROPOSE.

A young woman Of Bermondsey.
who was struck by few remarks in
these columns, says the London
Daily Express, on the sad and pre-
valent habit of ji!ting, writes to
complain that her principal difficulty
is that she cannot find anyone to tilt,
even if she wanted to. She further
asks advice on that ancient, shop
worn, tiresome topic, which no one
would care to discuss nowadays, as
to whether woman in her position
is justified in going down upon her
knees and Offering her hand in mar
riage to some available man, after
she has adroitly got between him and
the door. BY all means no. The
girl who cannot propose to u man
without leaving him firmly convinced
that he did the proposing himself
must have something lacking in her
intuitions. The art of proposing to
a man and causing him to believe
that he did it himself is very much
like that of skillful cross-examining.
The young woman should study the
methods of some council learned in
the process who can show her how to
extract a proposal when the victim
supposes he is merely uttering some
cheap commonplace about the price
of butter.

Local Option and the Police

The struggle at Louisa Courthouse
to make it "dry' town under the
Virginia local option laws has practi-
cally ended in the decision of Judge
Morton that Perkins, the defendant
in the case, must close UP his saloon
at once, regardless of the fact that he
purchased his years license only
about thirty days before the election
which carried the district "dry."
Hon. r. Lindsay Gordon represented

vides: eff any person sell any wine,

liable to all the penalties imposed
for the sale of spirituous liquors or

cellent illustration of the States
