TINE recent statement that
there are a million more wom-
en- of marriageable age than
there are men is generally admitted
to be a tragedy. But what about
the thousands of women for whom
there are husbands, who will never
marry owing to proposals by wom-
en- being the exception rather than
the rule?
why the privilege of proposal
should only be accorded to women
in leap-year is difficult to under
stand. And why should the sug-
gestion of women proposing be al
ways treated as a joke, and not
seriously considered?
MAN PROPOSALS A RELIC.
The war has completely changed
the position of women. They nave
cast off their Victorian shell of tim
idity and trepidation. But the relics
of that age remain with us still.
One relic is that men alone can
propose.
The whole question of marriage
proposals should be reviewed from
the standpoint of modern woman
hood.
But Il is not the war-altered po-
sition of women which has con-
vinced me that proposals by women
should become an established Gus

my experience. These would never

A MAN OF THE PEOPLE: A Play. BY
Thomas Dixon. New York: ID. Apple
ton a Co.
This play chooses as it's central
figure Abraham Lincoln, and Its
actionsis confined to an incident In
which the Great Emancipator
figures in the dark days of 1864,
Just prior to Sherman's victorious
march to the sea which was a com
pelling factor in the subsequent
surrender of Richmond.
The opening scene shows Lincoln
at his desk in the White House, q
man burdened with a nations sor-
rows, a target of criticism for even
his own cabinet officers. A series
of defeats have recently been suf-
fered by the Union forces, Grants
army is inactive and even his most
loyal supporters are on the point
of urging a compromise with the
Confederate forces which seems
tantamount to an acknowledgment
of defeat. The climax comes when
the national committee calls upon
him to withdraw his candidacy for
reelection that a new man may be
nominated, and prevent the almost
certain election of Mcclellan on a
Democratic "copperhead" platform.
The committee gives him ten days
to reach a decision.
Almost crushed by this bitter in
suit, yet unwavering in his faith,
Lincoln adopts a plan of action
that includes the winning over to
his side of the sympathies of
Vaughn, young army captain,
whom he has discovered is secretly
a leader among the "copperhead2
forces. Attired in Confederate
uniform, at the risk of his life.
Vaughn gets through to Richmond
where he manages to obtain i'm
portant information which he con-
veys together with a secret order
from Lincoln to Sherman before
Atlanta.
The final scene of the play proper
is again IN the White House, with
Lincoln standing over a telegraph
operator, almost frantically await
ing for news from Atlanta, although
every effort to locate Sherman and
his forces has proved futile. Word
has just come from New York of
the discovery of a conspiracy to
resist by force the new draft, to
circumvent which 1t will be neces-
army from Lees front and send it
to the principal Northern cities. AT
this point, the national committee
bursts in and demands Lincoln's
answer on the question of his with
drawal from the Republican ticket.
when the great dramatic climax
comes in the feeble ticking of the
telegraph instrument to be follow
ed by Sherman's famous message,
Atlanta is ours and fairly won"
A prologue has to do with
Lincoln's boyhood at the time of
his mothers DEATH while the
epilogue is a scene before the Cap
itol with Lincoln delivering the
classic second inaugural address.
The author states that every es-
sential detail used is confirmed by
history, the only liberties taken be-
ing in the case of two incidents,
the sequence of dates of which
were shifted for dramatic unity. He
makes his dedication to william

thought hard until long past
- midnight. But he did his
thinking before he went to bed.
Sitting in his lonely drawing room,
he reached decision. He must
try to change his views to suit
Barbara's.
He admitted that he had already
striven to do this; but, while he
had believed he had succeeded. her
words this evening proved that he
had not. He was at fault some
where. He must make another ef-
fort.
II he could not blind her to the
fact that he did not enjoy the So
cial functions that she liked he
could at least conform to her views
about other things. With a sud-
den inspiration he remembered that,
since she was to be the mistress of
his house, there might be some
changes he could make in its ap-
pointments. He would ask her to
suggest these. Anxiously he looked
about him.
On the floor was the same mo-
ouette carpet that his mother had

roses on it, Above the windows

TAKING STOCK.
Someone had told him that all
these furnishings were mid-victo-
rian. But he had considered them
correct enough for an old bachelor.
He wondered now IL they would be
correct enough for young and
pleasure-loving girl
Yet, II these things had suited his
mother. why not Barbara?
Barbara belonged to another gen.
Grafton.
Well, he would wait until morn
Ing and consult his housekeeper
about the possible changes that
must be made. Strange that he had
not thought of this before!
He had intended to retain Mrs.
Markoe as housekeeper after his
marriage. She had lived here in
that capacity for ten years-ever
since his mothers death. He had
spoken to Barbara of this, and she
had said indifferenuy that the ar
rangement would suit her.
Il know so little of how you
want things done" she had re-
marked, that II might be easier II
Mrs. Markoe stayed on for a while.
at any rate"
To Mrs. 5Markoe he had simply
said that he was engaged to be mar
ried. She had congratulated him
and had asked him II he were to be
married soon. That would be set
tied later, he had replied.
Since then no fugther reference
had been made to the future. His
housekeeper was not q person to talk
oVermuch. She was retIcent New
Englandcr-a most satisfactory per-
son, he reflected now. Yes, he would
have talk with her tomorrow.
COMING TO THE POINT.
1t was after breakfast the follow
Ing morning that he carried out his
lntention. Mrs. Marl<oe had handed
him his cup OF coffee when he spoke.
There Is n little matter that I
would like to consult you about"
he said. "T suppose that perhaps I
ought to make some alterations in

GOOD START HALF THE GAME.
Many, girls have comparatively
easy positions and find themselves
with time on their hands for en-
broidery or knitting. 1t is always
more interesting to work toward
definite goal. Suppose you play you
are working for "A perfect piece OF
embroidery on a toast cloth that is
to be used at a company breakfast
some day" 1t is surprising how
quickly these little things that go
so far toward making home honey
can be collected in ones spare mo-
ments.
Having good start is half the
game in any play. Having good
start with your home furnishings is
a big step toward a greater degree
of happiness in marriage.
