slightly exaggerated. I have known
of several men who have rehearsed
the tragic act many times before the
full-dress performance was given.
If you were to ask your married
friends for a few facts concerning
their proposals. there would be prob
ably a blushing, hesitating silence,
and a "rather-not" intimation which
it would be well to respect. Why this
is so l cannot say. II may be that
they were too foolishly romantic TO
be dragged from tneir environment or
lakes, moonlight or leafy bowers into

would be better left in the past with
softening touch Of memory TO ex-
cuse ii.
There is the written proposal. We are
familiar with the hero. or at least he
considers himself one. in the throes OF
composing a declaration that will en-
body his love and an offer of marriage
in cold, inadequate words. He generally
rereads his declaration that life Is
naught without his loved one, and con-
signs 1t 10 the capacious nav OF the
waste-basket. Some men have reSorted
10 verse for the medium OF their pro-
posals, and not infrequently have offers
of marriage been made in telegraphic
conciseness. Il cannot live without

few women to a recognition of the
