A perpIexed girl copies the following
letter from man who has been paying
her some attention;
II have taken many unlicensed privil-
eyes in addressing you. although you
have given me sufficient good reason for
doing 80, and now you must tell me

IN the race, or Is there a way Of making
myself worthy OF one. As no doubt you
have a long string OF admirers. just use
that reasoning machine OF yours and tell
me frankly. Do not ask for further
elucidation OF this passage"
The poor girl wants TO know what he
means.

to declare his love three months before

Constant Reader wants to know how
to tell a girl he loves her; he has been
trying for year. and hasn't found cour-

A proposal OF marriage Is something
that was never set by the calendar or
clock. A man may decide that he will
propose next Sunday. and the chances
are he viii propose Friday or Monday, or
find himself engaged without proposlns
at all, marriage being one OF those eondt-
tons into which the majority drift with
out any yolltion, just as a boat drifts
down stream
A proposal, in the time-honored ana
iove-ordained fashion comes from the
man to the woman. though how long this
custom will continue IN our presen,
feminist revolution, no one may say.
But all women who love. and who have
been loved, know down in their heart Of
hearts that such a confession loses Al
its sweetness and sacredness when the
woman takes the initiative, There Il

curves possess some particular utility
that makes the horns more formidable
in battle than they would be II straight.
Look, for instance. at the huge twisted
horns OF the big markhor. or bearded
goat, OF the mountains OF Afghanistan.
Some of these horns are betaween four
and five feet in length measured along
the curve. although the average height
OF the animal Is only three feet at the
shoulder One can see at a glance that
such horns are not intended for simple
goring, like those OF a bull. but for get

can hardly be Regarded as anything other
than TO serve as weapons yet in many

A fascinating and very Instructive book
might be written about horns. More dis
tinctively than any other part of the ami
mai organism, horns are evidently in
tended for purposes OF offense and de-
Tense. They are above all, natures
weapons. They tell the story Of the
struggle for existence which has always
gone ON since the earth began to be In
habited. Among the gigantic animals Of
prehistoric times and ancient geological
ages there were some that had horns of
extraordinary magnitude and form. like
the great triceratops. or 'three-horned
beasts. Of western America. which wore
it's horns on huge body helmet But
there are many animals today possessing
horns hardly less remarkable for size and
shape than any that the prirnevai world
Of giants beheld
The horned animals are among the mo-
blest in APPEARANCE, and in spirit. that
the earth supports. They are nature 5

there are none of which he is more proud
than the weapons of some great santlered
champion of the Cervus or the Bos, the

none the conquest of which requires more
courage and skill. And so we find the

Owing to the worldwide extent OF the

"NearIy Married."

Nearly Married" is bright and
amusing comedy. rendered the brighter
and more amusing by the Poll corps
of capable players. 1t is refreshing
draught. and the humorous complica-
lions come with such lightning rapid
ity that an audience is led from one
mirth- incident to another
and thus kept in a delightful sense OF
expectancy and enthusiastic interest.
While it is a difficult matter to re-
member the varied evolutions thereof.
one is ever mindful that Dick Gifen
(Graham Eclscy). who has just Sradu-
ated from law school and is anxious
to secure his first case. persuades his
married sister. Mrs. Lindsey tMaude
Gilbert). to bring suit for divorce from
her perfectly good husband tAlbert

but respectable correspondent tTcresa

Unfortunately. the judge deliberates
