He told her he had spent a pleas

little gift; he promised to come again,
he realized that he had not given her
the present he had meant to hand to
her with a few we'll chosen words
which should cause her to fall into his
arms and promise to be his forever.
Also he realized that he had not even
wished her a merry Christmas In the
way he had planned to wish it.
All the way home he abused him
self for being such fool. Why, any
man with a spark of self-confidence,
he told himself, would have told the

Why not play Santa Claus, take the
ring to AmabePs home, climb in a
side window from the porch, deposit
the ring and a note in her stocking
This would make her feel that he had
planned 1t all as real Christmas sur
prise for her. A Christmas gift and
a Christmas proposal all at once
would certainly appeal to the roman
tic side of any girl.
So he wrote his note, wrapped ii
about the ring, replaced the ring and
the note in the little box, wrapped il
up, and betook himself to Amabeps
home.
The porch from which he planned

Andrew was standing in the dark

wished the family would quit talking
especially as they were talking OF

drop his gift into Amabels stocking.

"Patrolman Jones telephoned that

Andrew shivered with alarm. This
was a predicament. To be arrested
as a burglar, to be carted on to Jail,
without a chance to explain. He
peered from behind the bookcase and
saw Amabel dreamily hanging her
stocking. He swiftly came from his
hiding place. and silently hurried to
her side. Taking the package from
his pocket, he whispered:
"Amabel! II forgot to tell you I
love you. and here's my proposal, and
the engagement ring, tool"
The mere fact that he had appeared
thus mysteriously at her side did not
appeal to Amabel. She did not think
OF that at all. She said:
ooh, Andrew"

Amabel was just such a
young woman as just such young
man as Andrew would ardently desire
to present with his throbbing heart
and the contents of the neat package.
The latter contained a ring, set with
a single diamond The throbbing
heart contained what Andrew was
ready to promise should be lifelong
devotion to Amabel.
Why go into detail regarding the
whole year during which he had laid
siege to the heart OF Amabel?
There had been moments this
Christmas eve when Andrews fingers
nervously sought his breast pocket.
Amabel knew he was on the verge OF
proposing Gracious mercy! The
woman who cannot diagnose threat

The stammering speech, the flushed
brow, the hesitant remarks, the fxity
of stare-aIl these and many other

For some unexplained reason women
like to postpone a proposal. They

If need be, to gain their promise.
It may be that instinct teaches
them this Is the only moment when
the man will be slave.
At last, however, 1t became time for
Andrew to say goodnight. It was
Christmas eve and he knew Amabel's
family would have some little prepare
