"The dim chambers are fragrant

sweet spikenard and instructive belief.
Some day, when the heart aches, she
will brew content from these.

not pass. secret treasurers that he may

young creature with pink and white
complexion. Very likely she marries
him, for his offer may be the best
thing in sight, but she would never Oh
earth pick him out if she bad the pro-
posing to do. Her taste would run to
Johnny Twostep, and she would leave
her elderly suitor to the middle-aged
woman, who would mother his chill
dren and make his home happy and
comfortable, and bring peace to him,
instead of misery and discord. When
Tom Poorman gets married he selects
the silliest and vainest and fightiest
girl of his acquaintance, but little Miss
Frivolity, who marries him and keeps
his nose on the grindstone the balance
of his life, would have known better
than to have proposed to an impecun-
ious clerk herself. She would have
asked somebody who was able to pay
her dry goods bills. Many and
many rich woman would be glad
to share her fortune with the poor
her, if she only dared tell him so
many an old bachelor would be res
cued from privations of his lodging
house and landed in happy home if
only the woman who is dying to do it
could call his attention to the fact of
how comfortable she could make him.
There isn't bit of use in saying
that any woman with tact can do all
of this without popping the question.
There are men so dense they have to
be slugged with fact before they ever
see it, and if they ever get to the brink
of proposal they have to be showed
over, or else they back away.
If women had the right to propose
it would be powerful incentive to do
mesticity. Now, when they have to
take any old thing that comes along,
they naturally feel that any kind of
housekeeping and cooking is good
enough, but no honorable woman
would ever think Of such thing as
asking a man for his hand and heart
unless she could make him good
home. Then, too, after she lad won
the promise of her shrinking Adol-
phus, she would have to face the or
deal of the interview with his father,
when Adolphus' stern papa would de-
mand: "Young woman, can you
make my son as comfortable ar his
mother has always dore"
