Another leap year girl would write
out her proposal and send it by mail.
To the Leap Year Editor, Evenins
Star:
l don't think / could ever get up
courage enough TO propose to a man S
face. In novels it sounds easy enough
but / think it must be dreadfully hard
to ask man TO marry you. because il
would put him in such an a.wfully diff
cult situation if he felt he ought to
refuse.
1t would be easier to propose by let
ter. / think I'd write one like this:
Dear FranlS-We are both In good
situations and he have known eacl
other for long time. l wonder il we
are both getting oil the happiness odt
of life we ought to. I'm writing this
because It's leap year. Come and tel
me your answer this evening.
HELEN.
But now I've written il, I'm afraid
after all, he'd have to come and tell me
himself without any letter TO help him

How to pop the question is always
an interesting subject, No doubt there
is a wide difference between theory
and practise. The man who starts out
to say, Darling, | adore thee be thou
nine," usually ends in suffering
fMinnie, IL want-you must-l-er-
will you-marry me?" Perhaps, indeed,
(, woman would be able TO say exactly
What she planned, because OF her long
experience in matters of the heart.
i At any rate, how would you pop the
question?
,3 This young woman believes in taking
: her sweetheart by surprise:
80 the Leap Year Girl Editor, Evening
Star:

| should do so some evening after ] had

nothing like music to create an atmos-
