Or that we women had mems privilege
OF speaking first"
Shakespeare.
NJ G. r. writes:
This being Leap Year, l proposed to
d young man with whom l had been &C
quainted for a long time, and whom l
dearly love. He accepted me and seem
ed to love me.
Later l found that my dearest girl
friend had proposed to that same young
man and he had accepted her also. l
am not pretty or stylish, and my friend
is both, but l love him in a way of
which she is not capable a all Do you
think that he was joking with her, or
with me?"
With both of you, my dear! What in
your vision is serious thing has prob
ably become to him the rarest of jokes.
If he accepted you of course he &C
cepted the other girl. 1t might prove an
embarrassment of riches if he regarded
the proposals seriously but he doesn't.
And no man will. When a woman
asks man to marry her, she steps out
of her own province, and is very likely
to be misjudged and misunderstood.
She offers her heart and hand to man.
He becomes the hunted when every
custom. right and tradition have made
him the hunter.
If he went to the woods to kill deer
and the deer chased him for the pur-
poses and desire of being killed hunting
would become huge joke.
Courtship, though a more delicate
matter than going into the woods with
a gun, alike loses it's zest and it's JOY If
the girl becomes the pursuer. 1t is a
jump from the sacred to the profane.
Designed as the rarest of all joys, it be-
comes the rarest of all jokes.
Women have argued since the world
was young that they should have the
privilege of proposal, and there is much
to prove their contention.
In the first place, no man knows what
is good for him. When he is very young
no one expects wisdom, and the older
he grows the less he displays. When
he is old and needs nurse to care for
him, he picks out wife who makes a
good dummy on which to display pretty
| clothes

marrying sense. The women claim that

would be more happy marriages. That

time is not now.

had grown suddenly chill. Still hold

cabin few rods away. Her wounded
foot was Of little support to her and
the excitement had unnerved her, in
spite Of his hand she swayed; without
a thought he caught her about the
waist and half lifted, half led her to
the door. 1t seemed as natural as 1t
was inevitable for him to assist her In
this way, and in her weakness and be-
wilderment she suffered il without
comment or resistance. Indeed, there
was such strength and power in his
arm, she was so secure there, that she
liked it. AS for him, his pulses were
bounding at the contact; but for that
matter even to look at her quickened

Just kalf a century ago scheme to

was first mJoted and although It re-
ceived considerable support, the oppo
sition was greatsr, but now an asso

who had been brought up in the most
humdrum and stereotyped fashion of
the earth's ways, and with never an
opportunity for the development OF
the spirit of romance which all of us
exhibited some time In our life. and
which, thank God. some of us never
lose, that she found herself revealing
in it.
She lost herself in pleasing magma
lions Of tales of her adventures that
she could tell when she got back to
her uncle, and when she got further
back to staid old Philadelphia. How
shocked everybody would be with 1t
all there! or course, she resolved
that she would never mention one ep
ISOLDE of that terrible day, and she had
somehow absolute confidence that this
man, in spite of his grim, gruff tact
turnity, who had shown himself so ex-
ceedingly considerate of her feelings,
would never mention it either.
She had so much food for thought
that not even in the late afternoon of
the long day could she force her mind
to the printed pages of the book she
had taken at random from the shelf
which lay open before her. where she
sat in the sun, her head covered by an
old "Stetson" that she had ventured
to appropriate. She had dragged a
bear skin out on the rocks in the sun
and sat curled up on it half reclining
against boulder watching the trail,
the Winchester by her side. She had
eaten so late breakfast that she had
made a rather frugal lunch out OF
whatever had taken her fancy In the
store room, and she was waiting most
anxiously now for the return of the
man.
The season was late and the sun
sank behind the peaks quite early in
the afternoon, and it grew dark and
chill long before the shadows fell upon
the dwellers of the lowlands.
Enid drew the bear skin around her
and waited with an ever-growing ap
prehension If she should be com
PEELED to spend the night alone in that
cabin. she felt that she could not en-
| dure it. She was never gladder OF
anything in her life than when she
saw him suddenly break out Of the
woods and start up the steep trail
and for a moment her gladness was
not tempered by the fact which she
was presently to realize with great
dismay, that as he had gone, so he
now returned, alone.

was delightfully."- soft and as it had
stood exposed to the suns direct rays
for some time although the air was
exceedingly crisp and cold, it was
tempered sufficiently to be merely
cool and agreeable She luxuriated
in 1t for few moments, and while
she had her face buried in the towel,
rough. coarse, but clean, she heard a
step. She looked up in time to see
the man lay down upon the bench a
small mirror and a clean comb He
said nothing as he did so, and she had
no opportunity to thank him before
he was gone. The thoughtfulness of
the act affected her strangely, and she
was very glad of a chance to unbraid
her hair, comb it out and plat it
again. She had not a hair pin left. of
course, and all she could DO with it
was to replait it and let it hang upon
her shoulders. Her couture would have
looked very strange TO civilization, but
out there in the mountains, it YVES en-
inently appropriate.
Without noticing details, the man
felt the general effect as she limped
back into the room toward the table.
Her breakfast was ready for her. 1t
was a coarse fare, bacon, a baked po-
tato, hard tack cr.sped before the fire,
coffee, black and strong, with sugar.
but no cream. The dishes matched
the fare, too, yet she noticed that the
fork was of silver. and by her plate
there was napkin, rough dried, but
Of fine linen. The man had just set
the table when she appeared.
Il am sorry have no cream" he
said, and then, before she could make
comment or reply, he turned and
walked out of the ROOM his purpose
evidently being not to embarrass her
by his presence while she ate.
Enid Maitland had grown to relish
the camp fare, bringing to it the appe-
tfte of good health and exertion. She
had never eaten anything that tasted
so good to her as that rude meal that
morning. yet she would have enjoyed
the brimming. smoking coffee pot on
it better she thought, if he had only
shared it with her, if she had not been
compelled to eat it alone She has
tened her meal on that account, deter
mined as soon as she had finished her
breakfast to seek the man and have
some definite understanding with
him.
And, after all, she reflected that
she was better alone than in his
presence. for there would come steal

episode of the morning before, try

Well, she was fairly sensible girl;

Now whether that JOY in his return
WAS for him personally or for him alb

she was glad that he had come back
simply because he was human being

whether she rejoiced to see him indi-
