When to Propose

London papers to hand dis
close a controversy over the
question when should men pro-
pose? 1t appears to have been
started by Lady Troubridge,
described as a we'll known
authoress, who insists that
men should propose by day,
that half the unhappy mar
riages are caused by the fact
that proposals are so often
made and accepted in the con-
servatory at a ball or in the
softly lighted drawing-room af-
ter dinner. The lights, the

would never have ventured.

the girl then he will most GER

Oh, we don't know. How
many young women of Lady
Troubridge's acqua in n c e
want their suitors coming
around in the morning before
they have time to primp up
and look their best? How many
young men would continue in

their charmers of the previous

the window when proverty en-

that love will abide when hum

so, it has been said that the
way to a mans heart is through

there not danger of his bring

the pangs of hunger for the

In the olden days the suicide
was buried where the four
roads crossed, with a stake
through his body. Stevenson's
st. Ives, fleeing from Edinburgh
prison, witnessed such an &C
currence, and pondered over it's
meaning. 1t meant ignominy
in that day, but the practice
was carried on long after it's
rurport had been lost. 1t began
at a time when the instinct to
live was so universally irnplant,
ed in the human breast that
self destruction could not be
understood. The prirn tt v e
mind halted before the phe.
nomenon, and attributed the
extremity to the control of a
demon. Vampires were reali-
ties then, and the stake was to
prevent the foul spirit from af-
terward using the body of the
afflicted as a habitation.

The college professor was ex-

root of self murder.
