Countries Where the Gentle Sex Does
It's Share Of Wooings
In England, leap year IS supposed to
confer upon the fair sex the privilege
of choosing life partners for better
or for worse, but the custom is more
honored In the breach than in the
observance. The sypsies, especially
In Hungary, enjoy and make a very
extensive use OF the right at all
times, in accordance with an ancient
custom. Thus marriageable young
gypsy girl in the land of the Magyars,
as soon as her heart is smitten, takes
good care that the smiter shall hear
Of the havoc he has wrought and
have a chance Of consoling her. With
this praiseworthy object In view she
has q love letter indited, places coin
in piece of dough, Bakes it, and
throws the cake and the billet doux
during the night into the bedchamber
Of her bridegroom-eleet Then she
possesses her soul IN patience and
awaits developments. The Burmese
maiden begins her marriage cam
palgu at much earlier stage. In
order to get together a goodIy gath
ering OF young men from whom to
choose, she places lamp in her win
dow at night--it is known as "tbe
lamp Of loye"-and entioes all those
youths who are candidates for the
order Of benedict IN sunny AndaIu-
STA, the peasant girl, whose heart has
been stolen by stslwart young hus-
bandman, prepares tasty pumpkin
