WHY Net?

German females, wearying Of spnsterhood, arc
sad to be agitating for recognized "leap year
week in each year, during which it shall be thei,
privilege to propose to the hcsitant male.
Many will find this rather humorous but even so
it contains much that is sensible, and it doubtless is
far from laughing matter to the ladies back Of the
proposal to propose
There is no reason on earth why the ladies-God
bless them!-should be inhibited by tradition from,
coming right out and speaking up to the men of
their choice.
Leap Year Week has every bit much virtue
IN it as "Crack a Smile Week" or "Buy Loaf Of
Bread Week or any other of the many jectived
weeks that have been devised by our clever advcr-
