her iAtensely-if not propose. Yet, if she had the privilege, instead of persevering to win his Affections, she would have asked him almost straight away - and probably have been refused.
 It would be distasteful to every man to have the most sacred privilege of his life taken away from him, and what is more, there could never be the same amount of happiness in marriage if the husband all ways had the reflection that he had been, so to speak, driven into it. And who knows to what reproaches this might lead?
 I am sure most girls, if given the option, would refuse to pro pose. It is much more satisfy ing to a girl to know that the words which are so greatly to affect her after life were spoken by the man she loved of his own free will.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-02-23

This is one of the great home questions of the day and one which affects every young man and woman.
 In my opinion before asking girl to marry him a man likes to be in a position to offer her a decent home, and very often a girl would aot under stand and would not take into consideration these financial circumstances.
 A girl, again, gets fits of emotion and cannot suppress her feelings like a man. So, if she suddenly found she was in love and the privilege was hers, she would propose, perhaps with disastrous results when she realized her love was mere ly passing fancy.
 If a woman really loves 6 man and he may not at first love her, she can, by her own subtle instincts, 50 act upon his feelings as to make him love

ELECTRIC BELL
WIRED TO STAY
EVER IN ORDER
New Arrangement Abolishes
Use Of Batteries and
Reduces Cost.

In primitive ages, instead OF
ringing a door bell, the cave-man
gave a great shout and playfully
flung a huge rock against the
boulder at his neighbor's door. By
medieval times his descendants had
moderated enough to content them
selves with a resounding blow OF the
ponderous knocker against the huge
iron doors OF the castle. With this
as a starter people fell into the
habit Of knocking for admittance,
the knight with his lance. his
civilian successors, first with cudgel,
then with knuckle, and finally, IN
the refinement of the Victorian era,
with a smart rap OF the walking
stick.
One Of the earliest door bells was
q modification Of the medieval
metal knocker. a knocke- which
rang a bell on the inside OF the door
when the visitor gave II a jerk.
variation was the knob which on
being pulled, rang a bell inside.
With electricity at length came
the door bell in its present form, a
push button connected with wet or
dry batteries concealed in the base
ment or the garret. AS these give
out and wait to be replenished or re-
placed, the bell wears an "out OF
order" sign. Then, with as good
grace as he can summon, the visitor
must resort to the medieval custom
Of knocking.
But the most modern improve,
ment is the door bell transformer
which connects the bell with the
house wiring and hence never gives
out. Uninterrupted service. an end
to repair bills, and even lower oper
ating cost, are the advantages Of the
transformer. Perhaps the cave-rpan
might feel II irksome to have to
push a button instead Of tossing a
rock, but in these days Of greater
consideration for the amenities, we
count the electric contrivance a
blessing indeed,
