ii is now or never. II he fiunks at
the moment. he is gone forever. He
Will never pop the question.
The bushes mans proposal is like a
health certificate, or an insurance
policy. The minute a business man
gets interested IN a woman he begins
TO look out about what she eats. and
whether she wears warm enough
clothes.
Then some Sunday he comes around
and steers her to look at some new
apartments. or bungalows. and after
calling her attention to the fact that
the plumbing is exposed. and the gas
range goes with the kitchen he says:
What do you say to coming out here
and being my little housekeeper?"
The conceited man proposes as II
he was handing a woman a prize
package. lie tells her what a sacri-
flee nc is making in marrying at all.
and that people think that he is going
to marry Mrs. Millionbucks, and then
he puts her wise to the fact that he
shall expect his wife to be a compo-
site. of Hetty Green. and Lillian Rus
sci. and Mary Jane. and he winds up
by bestowins a patronizing kiss upon
her. and looking as IL he hoped that
she appreciated her luck.
The widower proposes like an obit-
uary column that is full of laudatory
tributes TO the late deceased. He in
yariably begins his wooing by telling
a woman that she reminds him so
much of his dear departed Mary Ann.
and he never knows that the reason
the woman he is proposing to grits
her teeth so strangely. is because
there Is no other woman, alive or
dead. that she wouldn't rather look
like than the first wife OF her future
husband.
OF the proposal by letter nothing is
to be said in extenuation. except that
it is a valuable evidence in a breach
of promise case. The man who pops
the question to a woman with his
mouth n thousand miles of is no
lover. He is nothing but a Stacker in
love.
So says the woman. who says she
knows.
