she felt.
AS for Thaddeus, he got down upon one
knee and spoke with an energy of voice
declarative of the passion within him.
He told her that his love was the glory
of his soul. He grasped the drapery of
her cloak and cried out his devotion, his
eye beaming upon her the while with
piercing tenderness. The heroine promptly
became Jealous of that delicacy which
is the parent Of love" She began to
weep (hey always did. In her confusion
she suffered out something that the
hero interpreted as a refusal. Tell

immodest!

TN cotenlporary literature woman pro-

- our grandnothers used to read not
only did the hero do all the proposing
and with a degree almost appalling, but
at the mere ordeal of listening to him
the heroine, just as like as not, tainted
dead away, and the very least she ever
did was to blush and weep.
STYLES in literary wooing have evolved
at such a rate that they're absolutely
topsy-turvy now, compared to what they
used to be.
Why. David Graham Phillips devoted
nearly the whole of one of his latest
novels to describing the details Of how a
determined young girl succeeded in mar
rving handsome young artist who didn't
want her.
She put UP a good fight for him. She
began by merely limiting that she loved
him. This. being at the beginning of his
acquaintance with her, disconnected him
to such an extent that he choked upon
his champagne. Poor man.
lie determined to run away-leaye the
city. A few days later. when he met his
lauy love- OF, more accurately, the lady
who loved him, he told her he had de-
c.ded TO go to Paris.

sense of helplessness weakened the
backbon and knees of the artist on hear
ing these determined words. In despera-
ton he put the issue squarely to the girl.
"A short time ago you did me the honor
of telling me you were in love with me-.
Yes
Well, there was no hope, he told her.
The female OF the species begged his
pardon She said there was-so long as
there was life. The poor hero driven to
the wall, more vehemently than the old
time heroine used to bid the villain be-
gone. turned this heroine down. He said
IN a low intense voice that he was not
going to marry DO YOU understand? ?
t-going-to-marry. He also
reasonably observed that the lady made
aim feel as # he had a halter around
his neck.
When he got ready to leave he wanted
to shake her hand. but-"Is that all?'
murmured she. Won't you? The
hero blushed and touched her brow with
his lips, whereupon she showed him how
the thing should be done. Then she felt
had been too passionate, not gentle
enough ''Ah," breathed she, Il couldn't
feel toward you as l do if l didn't know
with that deep, deep heart knowledge
that we are-like one"
The hero gave in. What was the use.
He intimated his Willingness to become
a bridegroom. The heroine gazed at him
with ecstatic eyes. Have / really gol
you?" said she.
This account Is not exaggerated, al
though it sounds SO. 1t is almost ver-
batn.
About fifty years ago 'Thaddeus OF
Warsaw was a best seller Everybody
read it and everybody thought it was
beautiful. Why, the heroine in it got
so worked up at the mere ordeal OF
listening to Thaddeus propose that she
