WHY PROPOSAL WAS SUDDEN.
One Thing That Fond Youth Had
Taken No Thought For.

This Is so sudden!" AS he heard
the girl speak these words the aston
ished young man rose to his feet in
bewilderment. Student" he repeated.
Did hear aright?. More than two
years ago, ! believe 1t was, since
first met you. For several months
after that only saw you occasional
ly; then gradually, very gradually,
Increased my visits. It took six
months to get on a formal calling
basis; 1t took six months more to be a
regular visitor; six months more to
call you by your Christian name; and
1t Is only during the last few months
that have ventured, with many mis-
givings, even to hold your hand. And
now, after all this gradual develop
ment of my love. you tell mo that my
declaration Is SO sudden. Do you call
this sudden?" 81 do, indeed" she
replied calmly. But for what rea-
SON." The young lady replied, with
some degree of hauteur: Simply this.
hardly imagined you would dare to
speak TO me like this for. another two
years at least, considering your pres.
ent salary"
