Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Bachelors Safer in Leap Year
Than at ANY Other Time

Dear Dorothy Dix-Leap year has
q lot Of us boys trembling in our
boots. 1t is hard enough for us
to steer clear of the altar when
we have to do the actual proposing
ourselves, SO how are we to play
safe when the girls have the right
to pop the question? Also, will you
give us some idea of the proper tech
nique to use when, how and If q
sweet young creature asks us to be
hers? THE BOYS.
AnsWer-Take heart, you timid
dears. Being proposed to is not half
so unpleasant an experience as you
seem to apprehend. In fact, it has
its points. even for a man. 1t is
soothing to his vanity, for one thing,
and, for another, it may offer un-
expected opportunities for gain. For
surely no girl would be so little a
lady as to ask man to marry her
If she were not able to support him
in the style in which his father
had always done.
Also, believe 1t or not, you are
really safer, in case you prefer to
be bachelor, now than you we're
when girls had to do all of their
courting on the sly, as it were. It
is the difference between being pur-
sued in the open, which at least
gives you a chance to duck and
possibly escape her who is after you.
and being chased under cover so
silently and secretly that you do not
even suspect your danger until the
moose is about your neck.
Furthermore. when a girl asks
you to be hers you can fatty de-
cline the honor, and that's that.
But what can the poor simp do
who is insidiously inveigled and ma
tneuvered into saying the fatal words
himself some night when the moon
is shining and even homely girls
look pretty and he has had too
many cocktails?
Now. as to the etiquette of the
occasion, I confess I am unable to
speak, and so far Emily Post doesn't
seem to have got around to the
matter. I should think, however,
that if Miss Millionbucks should
take your mitt in hers and say:
Dear John, marry me and your
work-worn hand shall never have
heavier labor to do than cut cou-
pons," that the proper thing would
be to clasp her to your manly breast
and say: Gee, Emily, that's swell
job and I am ready to sign on the
dotted line" Something sweetly
sentimental like that, you know.
And the timid man might fall
back on the feminine formula Of
How sudden this is! I never
suspected you felt about me like
that" when Sally Gogetter offers
