A proposal should he accompanied by
a kiss as evidence Of good faith. If
you are timid ask a hypothetical ques-
ton, thus: "Milly, If a man about my
build and prospects should ask you 10

Leave the rest tn Milly.
A man who proposes to an old maid
Is an old fool.
Consider when you put the question
to u Jersey girl how much allmony you

If you propose on your knees you
will stay there the rest Of your life.
A long engagement means n short

lining.
