n he may be taking this way to let
her interest In him die a gradual death
or he may have met another girl who
attracts him more.
Now, a young man in this girls po-
sition would say to himself ." I'M go;
ing to find out the TRUTH He would
get the girls address from her family,
II possible, and would write and ask
the reasons for her apparent GOODNESS.
Why may. a young woman not do the
same? Why does she have to sit
with folded hands and see her happi-
ness slip by her?
There are several reasons. One Is
that when a man asks a woman to
marry him he Is virtually saying In the
words of the marriage service: with
all my worldly goods thee endow." He
Is offering to provide shelter and food
and clothing her her, the necessities of
life and as many of the comforts as he
can afford.
This fact places a woman at an ex-
IRENE disadvantage when 1t comes to
proposing, unless she is well off and
her money is so invested that it APP

she Is at q disadvantage.
She has overstepped a very firmly
held convention. 1t may be an unfair
convention, or an unjust or ever an
absurd one; but nevertheless 1t exists
and is very deeply rooted, Suppose the
marriage does not turn out happily?
The m who has proposed 1t Is
again at a serious disadvantage.
In their disagreement the man is apt
to feel and perhaps to say: 1T is all
your fault. | would never nave dream
ed Of marrying you II you had not
asked me-, and then l was too chival-
rous to turn you down." A horrid thing
to say, but then people do say nasty
things to each other In heated mo-
ments. And she, poor thing, Is left
without an and no woman on
earth likes that.
There is another point to be consid-
cred by the girl who writes me. II
this nan really loves her he is treating
her very carelessly, to say the least,
and 1t is far better for her to have a
temporary heartbreak nov than a last
ing one later on.
A broken heart is more easily mend
ed than ny other known article, which
is probably no consolation at all to
this young or to any other in
similar circumstances. But | am sure
that If she saves her pride and let's
the young man do the pursuing she
will in a yea or two thank the kind
fates that kept her from making a
foolish move on life's ~chessboard.

The question of a girl proposing to a
young man has often been discussed.
Many, manyAsarticles headed, aShould

the case has been argued pro and con,

q group OF young people gathered that
the subject was not at one time OF

Now a girl puts 1t up to me in a
letter. She met a young man and a
romantic attachment sprang up be-
tween them, but they never actually
became engaged, His family as well
as hers rather frowned on their friend
ship, because OF their youth. and also
on account of his unsettled financial
state. He went to another city to take
d position, and she heard / ON MN
regularly, his letters being full Of ex-
pressions Of affection. They they
ceased abruptly. No letter came for
weeks.
Later she heard from him again and
he told her that he had been Ill and
had lost his position. He was going to
another town, however, where he
thought there was the chance of a
good opening. Since that time several
months have passed, and she has not
heard q word.
She Writes me that she is very I'M

and she finds the suspense of his long
silence almost too hard to bear. His
family never speaks of him to her, and
she does not like to bring up the sub
