IS WOMAN'S RIGHT
Leap-Year Privilege Has Long
Been Accorded.
Custom by Which She Is at Liberty
at That Time to Choose Her
Life Partner Is Ancient
and Honorable.
According to an old myth, girl
aspiring to matrimony In leap year Is
at liberty not only to choosu her llfo
partner, but slmtild the man of her
choice by any chance feel Indisposed
to wander by her sldo lie Is under
obligation to soften her disappoint
ment by proffering n silk gown and a
kiss.
In these days, when the prices for
raiment of any material, not to men
tion silk, liavo soared to such Inac
cessible heights, It might be advan
tageous for a man "to cherish and
obey," repent and rue, for the rest
of his quota on earth rather than
produce the price for an nll-sllk gown.
An old law, said to have existed In
Scotland In the year 112S3 may afford
uddltlonal comfort to skeptical spin
sters of today, even to tho extent of
rejuvenating their hopes for securing
during the coining year n spouse, n
silk gown, n kiss, or nil three; at all
events, It will doubtless Instill further
assurance ns to the veracity of this
tlineworn but none the less tender
privilege. This law reads:
"It Is statut and ordnlnt that during
the rein of her tnaslt bllsslt Megeste,
for ilk j cure knovvno as lepe yeare, Ilk
maydun luyde of hothe blghe and lowo
estalt, shall hue llherte to bespoke yo
man she likes, albeit he refuses to talk
her to be his lawful vvyfe, he shall ho
mulcted In ye sum nne pundls or less
as his estalt may be; except and nvls
glf he can make It nppcurc that he Is
hetiothlt aue Ither women, ho then
shall bo free."
A few j ears later n similar law In
Fiance received the approval of the
king. It Is also said that before Co
lumbus sailed on his famous voyage a
like privilege was granted to tho
maidens of Florence and fJenoa.
A curious little hook entitled "Love,
Courtship and Matrimony," published
In London In 1000, contains the fol
lowing contribution apropos to the
subject:
"Albeit It nowc become n part of the
common hiwe In regard to social rela
tions of life, that as often as every
leap yeare doth return, tho ladyes
have the sole privilege during the time
It cnntlnueth of making love, either
by wordes or lookes, as to them It
secmeth proper, and, moreover, no
man will be entitled to benefit of
clergy who doth In any wise treat
hero with slight or contumely." New

Couldn't Stand It.
A little hoy In Frankfort refused to
go with Christmas baskets this oar,
He remembered his lust year's experi
ence. Following her usual custom last
year, his mother sent a basket to ono
of her husband's employees. In tho
basket were placed candy, nuts and,
on this occasion, some candy nnlnufls
she found which had been given her
own children on the previous Christ
mas, The little daughter and sou
were dispatched with the basket and
on arriving were Invited In. Follow
ing their childish Inclination, they
eagerly looked on while the contents
of the basket were opened and ad
mired. I'speclally did the children seem to
appreciate the candy animals. They
were in the act of eating them when
the little boy to whom, the year be
fore this pleasure had been denied,
could stand it no longer.
'' "Oh," lie exclaimed pathetically,
"those are the ones mamma gave us
last Christmas." Indianapolis News.
Endurance Test
The setting for the talc Is La .Toll a,
n small town near San Diego. It Is
a place that boasts of great swimming
and ninny other attractions, besides a
museum. A little maiden, whom we
will cnll Nellie, wns passing the mu
seum with her mother. Hoth were
newcomers In the town and were tak
ing their first sightseeing tour. Nel
lie glanced up nt tho sign In front
of tho museum: "Mnn-euting shark.
Fifteen cents admission." So the two
passed on.
Two or three hours later mother
and daughter came back by the same
route and ngaln passed the museum.
Tho sign, of course was still there.
Nellie could not ho silenced. "Is that
man still eating the shark?" she asked.
"I should think he would get tired."
