WHY THEY SAY mo-"

Proposals Of Marriage That Are Not
Snapped Up.
Why do women so often say mo- to
a proposal of marriage when they real
~ mean to accept it?
Some married women were asked re-
Gently this delicate question: why is
it that woman never seems to give
man a definite reply to the question,
will you marry 1ne?' until be has been
kept waiting?"
This provocative trait in woman's
character has been a novelists theme
for years, but no one has offered a
definite explanation.
Six married women confessed the
other day that not one of them said
"Yes" to the first offer of marriage.
One said she was nurse before mar
riage. and her husband was her patient
when he proposed.
He must Lave asked me ten times
to marry him before finally accepted.
Why? Well. one reason was that l
wanted to make quite certain that he
really loved me and that his affection
or simply due to the fact that / was
the only girl he had seen for some
weeks.
''Of course from the first knew l
would marry him. but I forced myself
to make certain that he was in ear
nest"
The second wife said she had only
Sol ~ L..
my husband twice." she said. land l
was actuated. think. by sort Of
foolish PRIDE
II was twenty-one years old at the
time. and / knew practically no men
until the man who was afterward my
husband came to stay with my par
ents, and fell in love with him i'm
neutrality-suspicious. he did with me. I
believe.
HE was financially well off, and
happened 10 hear that some people
were saying I was Setting my cap at
him. think that was why / refused
him at first"
An authOress gave an interesting
opinion. Men really don't appreciate
how much proposal means to q GIRL"
she said. "for. after all. the saying
that love is only part Of a mans
life, but Of woman's the whole, is per-
fectly true.
II know that II girl were to pro-
pose and be rejected she would not
get over it half so easily as the man
would If he had been refused.
The majority Of girls say NO at
first because they are overwhelmed
with joy ut such an OFFER"

Indianapolis, March 30-Final re-
cession of the flood waters in Indiana

RECOVERING THE DEAD,

Dayton, O., March 30-The city
waterworks, which have been out OF
commission since Tuesday morning,
were restored at noon, relieving what
phases of the situation here.
George F. Burba, secretary to Gov
ernor Cox, has telegraphed the chief
executive the following:
''The situation rapidly is improving.
Ninety bodies have been recovered
and the work of digging corpses from
the mud and debris is progressing"
Over a thousand militiamen, under
command of Adjutant General Wood,
have the afflicted sections thoroughly
patrolled and little or no disorder is
reported.
Digging bodies out of the mud was
the chief work of rescuing parties.
The water had drained from almost
all Of the flooded area, leaving thick
mud, piled up by the eddies, was sew
eral feet deep. 1t soon began to dry
up In portions of the streets exposed
to the Sunshine, but for blocks the
searchers for bodies waded through a
sea of oozy filth.
A brilliant sunshine threw an un-
canny light over the distorted scenes
In the areas where the homes of 75,-
900 persons were swept away or top
pied over. A view down almost any
street revealed, among the debris,
tumbled over houses, pianos, house
hold utensils and dead horses, brushed
together in indescribable confusion
At two points the bodies of horses
we're still caught in the tops of trees.
On the north side of Dayton View,
where relief station was established
under martial law in the Longfellow
school house, thousands of homeless
people gathered for supplies of food
and clothing Every ablebodied man
was pressed into service. A man with
q megaphone stood at the door calling

When Blond Hair Darkens,

The damsel with blond hair must
reconcile herself to the fact that blond
tresses need to be washed oftener than
brown or black hair. as the slightest
suggestion Of dust will give light glis-
tening locks muddy tinge. which Is
the reverse Of beautiful.
A good wash for blond hair is given
below. Do not. however. use it oftener
than twice month. as it has tend
ency to make the hair dry and brittle.
After giving ones hair its regular
hampoo and rinsing it should be wash
ed with soda solution. then rinsed
and dried. This soda water is made
by adding an ounce Of bicarbonate of
soda to quart of boiling water. Do
not attempt to use this wash until the

Tonic For Eyebrows.

Women who take excellent care of
their hair often neglect their brows to
the extent Of allowing them to become
shaggy and coarse without realizing
what influence the brows have on the
expression Of the face. The eyebrows
should be brushed every morning and
evening as regularly as the hair. and
they must be given daily massage If,
they are to be kept smooth and glossy
If the hair were washed twice daily
its luster would be destroyed, and al
dry. rough appearance would he the|
result. This is partly what happens|
to the brows as result Of bathing thel
face with such frequency. Therefore,
an application Of oil at least once al
day is almost necessary to the well
fare Of the eyebrows. 1t should be ap-
piled with the finger tip. the stroke be-
ing done but one way-the direction in
which the hair grows. The motion
should be sufficiently strong to stfmu-
late circulation. A few drops of oil
Of cajeput rubbed In serve as an ex-
ceilent tonic. Just plain vaseline is
good to encourage luster and to add
to the growth. but q lotion made by
the following formula is excellent for
the brows:
Tincture Of cantharides............k u dram
Plain vaseline ........."........... ounce
Oil Of lavender. Sdrops
This lotion should be applied only at
night. as it has greasy appearance
and tends to Show on%the face. It is
especially effective in improving thin
and scrawny brows by adding luster
and increasing the growth.

He wants to know how to bet on the

posed to have an invulnerable de-

- Connie Maca and his cohorts had
an executive session, at which the old
heads mapped out plan of battle to
be used against the National League
champions. These daily meetings, at
which Bender, Harry Davis, Danny
Murphy, Collins, Barry and Mack
himself figure out plays, planning for
all contingencies, has been feature
of the Athletic campaigning in past
ARRAYS, and the results speak for
themselves.
1t is certainty that Bender will
start the first game in the box for the
Mackmen. Schang will probably
catch him and Strunk will hold down
center field. The rest of the team will
be the same clouting organization
that smashed its way through the
American League.
McGraW's inaugural pitcher has
not been decided on, according to the
best information. Until Saturday it
was believed the Little Corporal
would follow the precedent he has set
in the past and start Mathewson. Cir
cumstances may cause him to
change his mind. The well-known
public need not be surprised If Tes-
reau goes to the front when Eddie,
Murphy steps to the plate in New
York tomorrow afternoon.
If Tesreau is beaten by Bender, Nc
Graw will still have Mathewson to
shoot against one of Mack's young
sters. Beating Bender if he Is right is
practically impossible for team
which follows the Giant style of play
and McGraw may figure that .Tes-
reau has as good chance as Matty.

midst point to Cheney and Archer
