HOW TO PROPOSE.

A bright-eyed girl who is a skilful angler for hearts- thinks- a joiujg man, ■ to Ug successful should pvopbso after a vory short acquaintance-take the girl , by storm as it-were, while she is pleased 1 with a new beau, and before she has ' : fihie to tire 6f him f.their follow the ( proposal up with courtship, • lots of (lowers and bons-bons, drives, theatres, ik; and if sho consents, insist upon a short engagement). by all means, Another. well-known blonde beauty, who has created sad havoo aud had much experience in this line, says the only successful way to propose is when least expected;,: Allow no time for consideration, and then insist that . the acceptance must bo" now or never." She feels suro that is the only way that sho will over be captured;' but sho .. thinks very few men arc bold enough to J try that game. A:hands6mo young 1 widow, well-known'in Society circles, who is not so:, rich as. sho was, says tlio only successful way to win her' is to offer a line house, horses and carriages, with plenty of money to keep them. A dark-eyed girl, with a tangle ot soft :, brown hair shading her brow, says : '■ "If a fellow is desperately in love with " a ; girl and is persistent in his efforts to win her, ho is sure :td gain his. suit, '; Widowbrs understand'this point, and- ;| know exactly how to-make love-and ./ proposo, and you will obsorve they are always successful." Sho knows one case whore'a widower went in and , hung up his hat, announcing his intention of remaining until he-was accepted, -i and sho had to marry him to get rid of ; him. A widower' beau makes her ' nervous about tlie result. Ono sweet, . dreamy-eyed girl, who is just on the ; threshold of society, says love-makin<; must be so sweet that sho would wish her lover to be a long timo making tho approaches, and she would not shorten " the delights-,of an engagement; if i they tire of each-other, it will be better M ieforo than after -marriage. She is 3 lot particular as to Ins style, but he 3 mist bo tall and handsome, and sing l mtl danco well, and above all he must ; 1 enow how to make lovo. This girl's | I. iame must be kept a secret. Ono , ; lociety belle, who has spent several J seas His in tho "field" says sho will j give a man all the time he wants to | ; make up his mind to " begin the siege," i but when ho does begin he must go ] ! itraighfc through without showing the , ' " white feather." She detests " skir- : misliing;" it only gets ono wrought up < ■ to the " fray;" nothing is accomplished, : i and it requires all one's nervous force ' to endure a " campaign" of this nature, ' '■ to say nothing of the mortification of . several" defeats." t
