Ii a girl doesn't hirt now, she shows a man
frankly just what she thinks of him, up
to certain point.
"Given that much information, it is easy
to speculate on futurities. A man isn't TAX

Occasionally one will risk what he sees
to be forlorn hope, but the average mod

Then you think the percentage of re-

bride.
Tne pretty girl laughed.

Sand the men, feeling sure of the re-
suit, proposes in an offLand manner?"
Exactly. l never had a really artistic
imprisoned proposal in my life. Our men
are so deadly afraid of making themselves
ridiculous.
"They may be sentimental, when they
don't mean anything or sentimental after
taey are engaged, and absolutely sure the
gir1s adore them, but no matter how sure

He is too horribly self-conscious tc

did, l hope it is a sign of modesty, but
suppose it is only egotism.

usually begins that way. Probably the old
editorial instinct crops out and Dicks re-
marks are the only copy she has to work
with .'Dick says that it is hard for man
TO make up his mind to marry to-day.
I'm the first place, he is SO abominably
comfortable as bachelor He doesn't
need a home as much as his grandfather
did. He is free, has every material comfort,
and little responsibility.
"He must be tremendously in love to
marry for love- Even when he is in love
he hesitates and holds back and wonders
and questions.
HE has a good thing, and knows it.
Matrimony is lottery, even when one mar

She Remembers Ella.

only person living in England who
has personal recollections of Charles

Lambs affected conviction that her
hair curled only by artificial means,
and his repeated warnings at bed
time that she must not forget to put
it in papers. TO beggars, she says,
he always gave just what his hand
happened to draw from his pocket.
He was fond of treating the village
children to candy. his favorite con
lection being "Gibraltar rock" Here
is a pen picture of him as he appeared
to the child:
His clothes were rusty and shabby,
like a poor dissenting minister's. He
was very thin and looked half
starved, partly the effect of high
cheekbones. He wore knee breechea
and CATERS and high stock. He
carried walking stick, with which
he used to strike at pebbles. He
smoked black clay pipe. No one
would have taken him for what he
was, but he was clearly man apart

One of the most striking Of these is
that Of Mr.. John Higgins, who for 4

these diseases had combined to make
his life very miserable indeed, and he
could get nothing to do him any good

tells his experience with it In these
words:
