He thinks W men really Propose.
» ■■— Replying to the question, "should women propose marriage ?" Dr I^Bk mage answered — "Why, you «^^ centuries too late in asking that question. Women always have proposed, and always will propose. Words are very weak things compared to woman's affability and loveliness. The most splendid thing on earth is a good * woman, and when* with all hecartgJHp tractiveness, she makes up her minpr that it would be well for her to be the^ wife of some good man, and that it would be equally well for him, she captures him as easily as a regiment captures one corporal. It does not make any difference whether her tongue proposes or not — her eyes propose, her smile proposes. Until a man gets from a woman a proposition .of that style, he had better .not make a pro*. position of his own, unless he wants to^h. be made to feel ridiculous all his lifetime.
