The Legend or Leap Year.

The origin OF the peculiar woman 6
right Of leap year is said TO date back
to che fifth century.
st. Bridget, go the story gees, was
troubled because the women under
her charge insistcd on their right Of
proposing &c the men. Accordingly,
she went TO St. Patrick and begged
him to settle the matter by fixing GER
tain seaaone in whioh women might
tske the initiative. St. Patrick prom
ised then every seventh year, but
chen, pleased by the persuasive elo-
quenue Of St. Bridget, he said they
should have the longest year in the
calendar, aud that was every fourth
year, when February had an extra
day.

remember is this. A style may be sim

1t is also quite the fad for the father
and mother to present their baby
daughter with a dover chest early in
her career. Instead Of making her use
less gifts thereafter. which are perish
able and soon forgotten, all the pres
ents are selected to take their place in
the dover chest. These are marked
with the monogram Of the recipient
and the date of the gift. This custom
solves for generous grandparents, god
mother and near relatives the problem
OF making appropriate gifts.
Any piece Of handsome household
linen, from sheets or pillow cases to
ice or embroidered tablecloths or doy-
lies, jewels, silverware and choice
fabrics, are eligible for admission to the
