Sheridan took an equally bold course when
he sought to win the fairest of the beau
tiful daughters of Linley, the composer, of
Bath, who was strongly opposed to the suit
of the brilliant young poet and dramatist.
His lady love, too, was beset by an army
OF %suitors, many Of them far more eligible
parties than the penniless law student.
The circumstances called for bold and de-
cisive action. After threatening to destroy
himself II the lady refused his advances and
fighting a couple Of duels with one of his
most formidable rivals Sheridan took the
bold step Of running AVA with Miss Linley
and conducting her to q French nunnery,
where she remained in confinement until,
s~uccumbing to her lovers daring and per-
sistence, she consented to marry him.
An English Judge, not long deceased, used
to tell a dIverting story of his wooing. In
those days he was a struggling and obscure
barrister without even the prospect of an
income and the woman upon whom he had
set his affections was the daughter Of a
purse proud tradesman with a high-sound-
ing name, who was strongly opposed to
giving his daughter to, a "penniless law

when he was asked for his daughters hand
do you know, sir, that my daughters
ancestors have all been noblemen and that
one of them was a ~favorite minister of
Queen Elizabeth"
"Oh, yes, I know all that" the young
barrister placidly answered; IAN do you
know that Queen Elizabeth once slapped
your ancestors face, and unless you are
more civil I will do the same for your"
II is scarcely surprising that so bold and
daring a lover had his way In the end,
even in the face Of such a barrier of ghostly
noble ancestors.
The late Prince Bismarck, 1t Is said, won
his wife by a similar coup de main. AL
though he. had not known the woman of
his love more than a few days and her
parents we're not even aware OF his exist
enee, he presented himself one day before
them and boldly asked permission to marry
their daughter. In valid the father fumed
and clustered and threatened to have the
young man forcibly elected from the house
for his impertinence.
IT am sorry to annoy you, sir" the young
soldier said, but / must respectfully de-
cline to leave the house until l have your
consent" Nor did he, although the con-
sent was given in these ungracious words

anything when they make a mistake or meet
with a bitter disappointment. I'm a moral

"The stay-at-home women frequently

apologized for being behind time, and when

A man who taught the art of dancing to
the grandmothers Of the young people OF
today declares that nobody dances nova
days. People merely keep time to music,
romp through two-steps, hurry through
waltzes and fret IL anyone suggests a
luadrille or l~anciers. Grace and dignity
are utterly out of date. Young women don't
know how to courtesy and young men
haven't learned how to bow. AS for the
old-fashioned, finished steps we used to
take when we balanced to our partners,
why, a man merely shufles his foot a little

Nobody dances the Virginia reel now ex-

dainty schottisches, the redowas, the
polkas, the Varsoviennes OF our youth,
where are they? The dance is always the
indext of manners, and in a day when

for them. Some have met with frequent
rebuffs, but they persisted in their love

married life he was so touchlngly devoted.
