Tilted Girl Worries:
Should She Propose?
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW.

| have before me a letter from a girl
wnlch Is the counterpart of others
which receive from time to time from
many different parts of the country.
These vary somewhat in detail, but
tney are the same in essence. The story
remains unaltered.
. The heroine meets the hero. They
see great deal of each other and the
mutual attraction grows. He shows
every sign Of being deeply in love with
her. Then, for some reason, usually at
the 'beckoning of business, he departs
Tor some distant place. The letters be-
tween them are at first very frequent; :
then gradually or abruptly his cease.
She hears no more of him.
After detailing these facts, the girl
a. whose letter | am considering asks me
what she had better do. She cannot
understand this silence on the part of
the young man. She is convinced that
ne Is ILL., or that some dreadful msfor-
tune has befallen him. She cannot en-
cure the anxiety, she feels as II she
clust discover the reason for it all. She
even is ready to take the train and go
to him If necessary. Can l give her an
idea of what to do?
Nothing to Suggest.
l am sorry, but can only suggest
that she do nothing. All of the things
she fears may be true, but the chances
are against such possibilities And she
will only be putting herself in an un-
pleasant position If she pursues the
matter.
She will have to balance the contin-
gencies which give her so much alarm
against other contingencies, equally I'M
pleasant, but which nevertheless she
Is bound to consider.
He may have changed his mind in a
new environment and surrounded by
new influences. He may have met an
other girl whom he finds more attrac-
tive than the girl he left behind him.
He may have become immersed in bust
ness and have decided that he does not
wish to be tied down to a long engage
ment. And in consideration of all these
possible circumstances, it is only sensi-
BILE for the girl to let him begin the cor
respondence again, since he was the
first to drop it.

| gardlng this quandary has also put an
| other question up to me.
Should girls propose? And If not
| why not? ...-
That is a question which has been
| threshed out time and again, but it is
evident that it still remains undecided
| in certain feminine minds.
| What, my dear girl, is such proposal
| as you suggest? That the young man
| of your choice and yourself should be
| married and that he should thereafter
| take you for better or for worse, look
| after you in sickness and health, and
| provide for your support and mainte-
nance as long as you both shall live?
1t is certainly large proposition, and
as such 1t has its dangers. 1t gives the
man an awful comeback. He can COM
| port himself as he pleases and, no mat
| ter how much you may demonstrate
| with him, the answer will always be
| ready, II didn't ask you to marry me-
| The effects of overStepping a conVen-
| ton are sometimes more unpleasant
| than the effects of committing a crime.
| If you steal his watch, he might forgive
| and forget il; provided he were desper-
ately in love with you, he might either
| get mushy over it or be amused by II,
| according to his nature. In one case he
would say, THE poor, little darling
! needed the money, and her maidenly
| modesty prevented her from asking for
| it," and the ready tears would spring
| to his eyes, Or he would laugh and say,
Best joke that ever happened. She
| stole my watch. Clever grill"
"She Asked Me-"
But the chances are that If you asked
him to marry you, he would turn it over
| in his mind to kingdom come.
Whenever you did the least thing Of
| which he did not approve, he would
murmur to himself; What can you ex-
| pect There's something wrong about
her. She asked me to marry her. It's
| not done. Queer streak she has. No
| really nice, refined girl would do such
a thing. 1t simply is not done"
