about next Easter?
A poll Of whatever matrons are
at hand has revealed the surprising
information that the writer of the
advertisement was well up on the
way in which courtships are con-
ducted-in some advanced circles,
at leaSt-in this brazen age.
One wife of several years stand
ing admitted, with no beating about
the bush, that she had marked her
husband out for hers the day she
met him and had proposed in so
many clearly enunciated words sew
eral months later.
Two more young wives denied that
there had been any proposing what
Soever involved in their marriage.
The subject had "just come up
naturally" But they looked it must
be confessed, little self-conscious
as they said it.
You got the idea that it was
not, perhaps, by sheer accident that
the conversation had drifted around
to the advantages of matrimony on
the day before their engagements
were announced.
Now, this is a modern trend with
q vengeance.
1t is custom which has evidently
= grown up under the unsuspecting
noses of an older generation, which
imagined, when their daughter
blushingly produced her fiance, that
he had taken the initiative in put
ting the suggestion into bare words
1t seems far more likely from the
evidence at hand that this wooing
consisted of nothing more ardent
than the words, Why, sure I'd just
as Soon."
Never Accepted at First
1t is one of the old banalities
over which men wisely wag their
heads that it is really the girl who
does the pursuing. But until re-
cent years she had at least the
decency to pretend that the whole
idea had the hearty cooperation of
her bethrothed.
Indeed. if we would believe the
old-faShioned etiquet books. no nice
girl, in the days when there was
etiquet, ever accepted a man the
first time he proposed. A certain
show of reluctance was considered
only maidenly.
It's Different Now
The very modern generation
seems to have worked out a phi
losophy of ve-and-take in these
Inatters which satisfies them very
well-and bless their happy little
heads if it does.
If it is the custom among our
college seniors today for the man
to languish a bachelor until some
girl invites him to marry her, why,
there is nothing distasteful in the
custom. provided the man will
stand for it.
But one tip we should like to pass
< out to the aggressive young women
who do their own proposing: Don't,
for heavens sake, pop the question
to a man not member of your i'm
mediate generation. You will scare
him half out of his wits. for one
thing. but you will do more-you
will make him feel that. no matter
how much he may deteSt the idea,
it is up to him to marry you forth
with.
The man past 80 isn't used to
YOUR whirlwind tactics. You would
. be taking a mean advantage if you
asked him to be yours. The poor
chump still has chivalry.

THE TRAVELLING GIRL

sat and looked at Harry In helpless fury. Harry didn't give an Inch. He sat and looked back at her, abso.
 Except for tho hours they worked, it kept up like that for three days. Finally the climax came. Tn Q burst of passion Lois declared that Harry was the most selfish, bull-headed person she had ever met and whatever possessed her to marry him Heaven alcnc knew.
 That settled 1t. Harry flung some, clothes in bog, flung over his shoulder the announcement that he'd send for the rest of hls things the next day, and left.
 Lois cried all night. She hadn't inetnded to let things go 50 far. Indeed, tho moment she had said that dreadful thing to Harry she had wanted tho words back. But they were gone beyond recall and, Lois feared, so was Harry.
 Nevertheless, she had her pride. She couldn't go to him and beg hlm to return. Ho had walked out on her and if le came back he would have to come of his own volition.
 And then Fate stepped in and took n hand. The next morning, just as Lois was passing through the lobby on her way to work, tho postman handed her . letter. It bore q German postmark, but 1t was addressed In a hand that she would have known anywhere In the world. Fingers trembling, heart beating violently, Lois tore open the envelope.
 "Dcarcst Lois," the letter began. "i guess you will be surprised to get letter from me from Ger.

 So they went 10 Milwaukee.
 Coming back on the bus iato tho next day Lois said; Whats tho matter? Didn't you have a good time at Flora's?" Harry had scarcely spoken since they loft Mil. waukee. He had been thinking of hls lost sleep and tho bike races that he had missed.
 "f did not" Harry rcsponda Id
 "WhyY always thought you iikod Flora"
 'Flora's nli right In her way, but not as a substituto for sleep or bike races"
 "Now you're being sarcastic" "i'm not"
 "You arc"

KEEP UP THE MORALE

It's mighty easy for a fellow sitting
at desk to write the above headline.
He has no fields on which the crops are
burning, no cattle daily growing thin
ner and thinner as have the ranchers of
Imperial Valley, no stock of goods for
which there are few buyers, as have the
merchants here.
Yet one does not have to be in the same
situation as the rancher or the business
man to realize the seriousness OF our
condition. 1t is serious. 1t has been
serious for weeks. Daily it is becoming
more serious.
True the city man is not being hit as
hard Just now as are the residents of the
rural areas. Unless there is a sudden
change in conditions we in the city are
going to get ours too. 1t may come to
the point where we'll have to lug water
in jugs or cans What if we do? Are
we going to drag our feet along with
head bowed down while we GO for that
water, lamenting at our hard luck and
feeling sorry for ourselves, or are we GO
ing to take it on the chin with heads up
and have smart crack ready for the
fellow next to us?
We don't claim to know all about I'M
perial Valley but we do claim to know
something of the men and women here
and we are ready to bank on them. They
are not cutters Maybe they are little
stampeded right now but they will snap
out of it.
