/ have heard men say that no man proposes
to woman without at least hope that she
will accept him. Nevertheless, few women
exist who have not the memory of some utterly
unexpected and narrowing proposal. Lillian
Russell told recently of having received an offer
from an unknown utter-and- eggs man, who
urged her to abandon the stage become his
bride, and lead Christian life. l have no
doubt the butter-and-eggs man felt that he was
conferring an honor; but he didn't show it. In
this he proved his superiority to the most

course quite impersonally and vaguely the adj
