No Rules For Proposals
From the Jessie Wilcox Smith "Mother
By GERTRUDE HALLMAN.

rienCes of others. which may help him.
Evening is the accepted time in poe
try and prose, real life and fiction
though declarations have been made
before breakfast and in the glare Of
the MONDAY sun. However, / would
not recommend a proposal before
breakfast. At that most unbecoming
hour no man is in a tender mood, and
if he were the appearance of his lady
love might chill his ardor,
Twilight is a pretty hour; the moon
is always good for romance. Indeed,
many prefer it, and there is something
sacred and holy about a love declared
under the stars that no brighter light
ing effects offer. There is a secrecy
about such a proposal that doesn't ac-
company Cne made in the light of the
moon, where a mans arm around a
girls waist becomes a target for eyes
and tongues six blocks off.
, You might begin, Ralph, by holding
her hand. This will not be hard for
doubtless you have held it many times
before. | hope you have for this hand
holding is the time -honored prologue
to a proposal This time you will not
let go, as before. You will hold fast,
and you will find pouring into your
hand such a current of inspiration and
courage that after you have held her
hand at least a minute, nothing short
of the appearance of a mad bull, or
the girls enraged father could keep
back your declaration
Having held her hand till this psy-
chical moment. you may say, 81 love
you" = OF course. she knows you do,
but that makes no difference. They
are only three words, all short and easy
to say and, having once said them, you
must say them over and over for the
balance of your life.
However. always say them to the
same woman.
Sometimes in the books and in ac-
tual experience the girl looks shyly
down, and the man must lift her face
for a kiss. Ii statistics were available,
however. I am sure they would prove
my contention that she has her face
lifted up for a kiss before the last Of
the three words has crossed his lips
l hope, Ralph, you will verify my con-
tention the next time you write.
If you find you are still Shy on
words, here are three more that are so
short and easy to remember they are
eligible to a child's first reader They
are, Set the day"
You need not say what day it is you
want her to set. She knows it is not a
day for going fishing or for having the
hay cut ir the east meadow. She
knows what day you mean. thus saw
ing YOU any necessity for detail or

Advice to the Lovelorn
1T NEED NOT BE A DIAMOND.
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

~ NEEO NOi 6E DlAMOND.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am %, holding a position pay
ing me a salary of $110 per month.
| am engaged to a young man re-
ceiving $1,000 per annum. and he
is now desirous Of presenting me
with a beautiful diamond ring. Be
cause of the fact that he is receiv-
ing at this time but $1,000 a year,
my parents will not consent to his
giving me the ring. He has been
calling or me for the past two
years without objection on their
part, and everything was apparent
ly satisfactory until this question
of giving me an engagement ring
came up
We had not planned to be mar
ried for little time yet, but as
matters have taken this course, l
desire to be married soon, and to
keep my position for a time. This
is what they are afraid | had in
tended doing, they claiming it de-
grading for a married woman to be
working to help out financially. Our
combined salaries would make us
financially Independent and enable
us to put quite a nice little sum
away for future need.
DISCOURAGED.
If he has been calling on you for TIVE
years he owes you an engagement ring
but it need not necessarily be a dia
mond. Love is Just as true and last
ing when EXPRESSED in a less eXpen
sive stone Your parents are right il
such a stone an extravaganza
1t is not degrading for a woman t
work after marriage, though it is no
desirable This is where the DANCE
lies, The husband is an unusual man i
he doesn't continue to exact it wher
the necessity no longer exists.

SIGNS OF SELFISHNEsS.

DtdT MISS FalrfaN:
Is it proper for a boy, eighteen
years of age, who has known a girl
one year his junior for about
year, to ask her not to go out with
other boys when he is not with
her? He also wants her to act
very quiet when other boys are
around. even though she is a jolly
hearted girl, Do you think that is
right? II. n. n
He is the incarnation Of selfishness
and If the girl yields to him in these
points he will make demands that are
more selfish. There is no engagement
and he hasn't the right Of objection.

Some Suggestions.

But nowhere is there an accepted
form for asking for a girls hand in
marriage, and at the most important
moment of his life a man is left with
out a guide book.
"A guide book" mind you, but not
without a guide! At such a moment
the girl whose hand is sought becomes
the guide. She may have had no pre-
vious experience-thati is unnecessary.
Womans wit and wOman's intuition
lead her to safely pilot the man from
his tiounderings in the pit of declara-
ton to the high and dry standing of a
declared suitor.
But if Ralph, the writer of this letter,
man-like, does not want to depend on
the leadership of the other sex. even in
matters as tender as this, here are some
suggestions gathered from the eXpe-

Observed a Wolf sitting on q, limb or

Good morning. my Dear. You are
looking unusually we'll this morning..
THAT'S all Taffy:' replied the Wolf.

Indeed / would. And such eyes as
you have got. Yum. yum!
do you really think so" grinned
the pleased Wolf.
You bet: Why. if had your form
I'd go on the stage and make my for

The Wolf put his finger in bis mouth
and looked silly and felt fattered. and
the Goose licked her chops and con-
tinued:
Please come down and let me take
the pattern of your coattails. Such a
graceful set never saw in my travels" "
The Wolf came down with his ears
working with delight and had only
reached the earth when the Goose
sprang upon him and chewed him into
dishcloths.

The authentic report that the Clinch-
field railway will erect freight termin-
ais at the Charleston wharves has
renewed interest in the matter OF
another railroad line to Columbia, as
it is believed that the systems present

A. G. L. lines to Charleston will be
followed eventually by new rail-
way of it's own. 1t is known that the
Clinchfeld system had engineers in
the field several years ago, making
preliminary survey from SpartanbUSg
to Columbia, and though the work
dill not proceed any farther than the
initial steps in construction, it is prob
abls that the data sheets were filed

officials decide to extend their present

QUESTIONS OF RACE.

Ethnologists are generally agreed
that the Aryan, usually called the
white race, originated in Southwest
ern Europe, or in the northwestern
region of Africa near the Mediter-
ranean, which is geographically, from
a remotely ancient point of view,
much the same thing. The Aryans
did not come from Asia, but to some
extent moved into it, in India, Per-
STA and adjacent territory. There are
some who have contended that the
Japanese were Originally an Aryan
branch that wandered far from the
starting place. But science finds lit
tie to support the idea. They were
not the earliest inhabitants of their
island home, but are believed to have
occupied it about 5000 years ago,
coming from Manchuria or Mongolia.
The natives whom they displaced were
the hairy Anus, of whom but about
1000 survive A mixed Asiatic descent
is plainly that of the Japanese. Their
