IS THE HONE MOON FAHURE

That was. perhaps, a sensible bride
groom. after all, who, when the
riage was over presented his bride
with the key of The house, and, part
ing from her on III porch with "Jen-
ME. my girl. I'll be home to dinner"
went back to his work.
He was. at any rate, wiser than the
other bridegroom, who. feeling the
wedding trip to be a correct and or
thodox institution. but not being able
to afford travelling expenses for two,
went dolorously and sorrowfully alone
to Paris while his bride remained at
home.
But. seriously, a wedding trip means
to a good many people somewhat of a
trial. 1t is a holiday that can i'll be
spared by many a busy man; 1T costs
very often a great deal more than the
young couple a or should afford,
and, to conclude with, it is often any
thing but an unmixed joy.
Because it is supposed to be fashion

usual surroundings for the honeymoon,

burning for the delight of beginning
housekeeping in their new home, find
themselves driven into uncomfortable
lodgings. or strange hotels. among
surroundings where they feel neither
happy nor at ease, to spend a time to-
gether in which they are thrown en-
tirely upon each others society and
have none OF the interests Of their
everyday lives to occupy them.
Is the honeymoon a failure? Not the
honeymoon itself. II 1t Is properly treat
ed. The sweetness of the first month
ought to last through the whole OF
married life, no matter how long that
life endures. All that the honeymoon
means Is not n failure. but the carry
ing of 1t out into practical detail very
often Is.
After all. how many married people
can look back upon their honeymoon
and confess that they thoroughly n
joyed it? Perhaps If they had had the
courage to spend it at home in an UNI
conventional! way, and had not felt
obligated to sacrifice themselves to the
notion of a honeymoon trip, the result
might have been different.

But FEW PROPOSALS
DURING LEAP YEAR;
WOMEN ARE TOO SHY
Noted Men. Proposed to by
Young Girls, Have Novel
Experiences.

Women are supposed to take advan-
tage of leap year to propose, but we
doubt if they ever do. In the only in
stance which is now to have taken
place last leap year ne Incident had
a Very tragic sequel. In 1904 it was
reported that a beautiful Austrian girl
had taken advantage of the privilege.
1t was at a ball in Vienna, where she
became so infatuated with a partner
that she then and there invited him to
become her partner for life. Her pro-
posal being most ungallantly rejected,
she was so mortified that she went
home and committed suicide.
Another and similar case. though not
a leap year proposal, was that of Sig
norita Maria Colonna. who. though
only i'm her 10Th year, had been the re-
cipient of several proposals.
Each and all of these she firmly re-
fused. and on returning to Rom as
founded her friends by presenting her.
self to NJ. Guillaume, the famous octo-
genarian sculptor, and begged him to
marry her. Guillaume did his best to
convince her that no happiness could
result from the union of May and De-
celnber.
In this. however, he utterly failed, the
fair ropos becoming greatly dis
tressed-and. indeed. quite inconsolable.
She declared herself to all intents and
purposes a widow, mo arrayed herself
In somber mourning garb, which she
vowed she would never lay aside until
a change came over her hero, and she
could realize the wish of her heart.
The late Baron de Lesseps enjoyed a
like novel experience in his declining
years. When an old man of 20 he was
proposed to by a damsel of II.
What is more extraordinary still. the
proposal was made in the presence Of
the baron's own son. Small wonder,
L thntafnrn fh1f hn {bo1,ohf ~ ,r., NOT
intended for him. but for his son.
However. on being enlightened, he
did not refuse the offer, but accepted it
and married the fair proposer. Nor
did he have occasion to regret so doing,
for during the time of the sensational
Panama scandals his faithful girl-wife
was the only solace and comfort he had.
A few years ago q melancholy fate
befell a young Paris widow-one Ma
dame Milher. She fell desperately in
love with a neighboring resident. who,
however. repealed her advances, includ-
ing an offer Of marriage.
Thereupon h retired for a time to
Metz. where she had relatives: but
shortly afterward her dead body was
found on the footpath just outside OF
the house of the man she loved.
In her pockets We're several letters
addressed to him, and before commit
ting suicide she had thrown into his
garden her pocketbook. containing bank
notes. bonds, and other securities. com
prising her estate. together with hel
last will and testament.

PLACE OF FUDGE
School Girls Discover New Con-

would have been perfectly horrid to
keep on making fudge-even the dear

they fail to keep In fashion.
This new co,cOction. which truly is :;
divine confection. has originated in the
fertile brain of Chicago school girls. and
the precious recipe is being sent broad

No. indeed. we shan't throw fudge

for a little Drown block and let it melt
between her pretty red lips. You see,
