I notice a newspaper article today
headed Should a woman ever pro-
pose,' and the conclusion seems to be
that she should not, in spite of the ex-
ample of the Puritan Priscilla and the
story book heroines who are obliged
to lay their fortunes at the feet of
their reluctant lovers who are afraid
of having their motives misunder-
stood. But whether they should pro-
pose or not, plenty of them do, or at
least they come so close to it that it's
hard to tell where the woman leaves
off on the declaration and the man
begins. There are any number OF
married women who will admit that
they won their happy home after
good deal of patient fishing, and there
are plenty of other women who get
out their hair nets and angle for offers
that they have no intention of accept
| ing. Moreover, when women gets
| her husband without the exercise of
any of the arts designed for that pur-
pose, she is pretty sure to give the i'm
! preston that she married him to get
rid of him. To be sought out and
pursued and wooed and importuned is
the lot of comparatively few women,
! but the majority play the game, and
| they ''get away with it, without many
disturbing scruples, considering, prob
ably, that the end justif1es the means.

bury, Rodesia, South Africa, stopped
