GIRL HAS RIGHT

KALAMAZOO. MICH. May Is
1T Ia proper for e girl to ask her
sweetheart to marry her during leap
year---or any other year, for that
matter"
This statement comes from Rev. +.
a. O'Brien. rector of ct. Augustine g
Catholic church. Recently Father
O'Brien received a number OF fnqui-
ries relative to the propriety OF leap
year proposals, and, during a rousing
sermon to his congregation. he ut
tered number of leap year epigrams.
in which he said that It WAS entire
~ proper OF a girl to- ask for An en-
gagemert. and that 1t was wrong for
any young man to go with Il girl for
any length nj time without marriage
In view.
1T is not necessary to walt until
leap year to ask Z man what he In
tends doing" said Father O'Brien.
Such a question liz In order in any
year, or at any time. II is OF great
importance for both parties TO know
whether they are trifing or in ear
nest. Keeping company for fun Is
wrong,
When a young man is too bashsul
or tinid to propose and young
woman realizes his position. 1t would
he Il great act Of kindness and charity
II not a duty on her part, TO tell him
what Is expected.
