PHASES OF THE FATEFUL INTERROGATION

One Who Think She
K.aoi.
The treat and grave problem of exer
cising the prerogative of leap year has
been discussed profusely by masculine
writers. Now listen to what a woman has
to say on tha subject a woman keenly
conversant with the Indi-scrlbitbie J".vs,
likewise the perils enwrspprd In the leap
year proposal. Her voice Is gentle, ln
atructlva, motherly and her voice Is the
roloe of Dorothy Dix In the New York
Times:
That woman labors under a great mnt
rlmonlal disadvantage In not being able
to pop tha question no one will deny. It
forces her to take what Is offered Instead
of tha thing- for which she would ask If
aha bad tha privilege, and even when leap
year removes tha bar against her speak
ing out In meeting it does her little good,
for It finds her with no precedent to guide
her, no experience to be a lamp to her
feet
There Is a complete chronicle of how to
lead a man up to the proposing point,
that. Ilka the law of the prophets, ha been
passed down generation after generation
orally from mother to daughter, but no
cod of procedure has been formulated for
the woman who means to propose her
self. Of course people will say that thla '
makes no difference, that a woman'a leap
year prerogative, like most of her liber
ties, Is merely a glittering mockery that
ahe does not dare to put to tha test, but
how docs anyone know this?
The past Is no criterion. Vomen do
many things now that they did pot do forty
or even four years ago. It Is not at all Im
possible that many a discouraged spinster,
worn out with waiting for her steady
beaux to apeak, and many a love-lorn
maiden who - has heretofore let conceal
ment prey upon her damask cheek, will
take matters Into her own handa and pro
pose matrimony to the man they love,
In this year of grace 1904, so a few sug
gestions to tha leap year girl may not be
amiss.
The first one must necessarily be a warn
ing. No one knows as yet Just how a
woman should propose, but It Is to be hoped
that when she does undertake to be a love
maker that she will do It more romantically
and poetically than man does. It la true
that man's way works, but this Is because
he has a monopoly of it. We all burn
Standard oil because there Is no other kind
of oil. Women have had to take the kind
of proposal offered them or do without,
and those who have suffered from this
who have seen their dreams shattered and
their Ideals smashed who have had lovo
made to them between the Jolts of a street
car, or across beefsteak and onions at a
restaurant table or In any other old place,
ought to know enough to render their pro
posals a, romance that a man will be glad
to remember to tha longest day he Uvea.
Prepare for a Ticklish Job.
But proposing to a man la going to ba a
ticklish job any way you do It, because
men are no mora used to receiving otters
of marriage than women are to making
them. Both parties are Inexperienced, nor
doea a man even know how he will take It.
There are some conservative Individuals
who go ao far aa to contend that men will
be so shocked by a woman popping the
question to them that they will refuse on
the spot, but thlo waits to ba proved. Fast
experience has not ahown that men are
averse to tha admiration of the fair aex,
nor that they turn a deaf ear to woman'a
avowala of her deathless affection for them.
Startling aa the Innovation of a proposal
may be, the -chances are that man will first
endure, then pity and embrace. Ha Is but
human ,and there are none we ao admire
aa those that have the intelligence and
good taste , to admire ua.
Tha leap year girl, however, who pro
poses to propose must use great tact and
discretion, and above all ahe must atudy
the character of the man whoae hand and
heart ahe desires to win, and she must be
wary about choosing tha psychological
place and moment. There are times when
a man Is rushed, or tired, or hungry, when
It is simply courting disaster to ask him
anything, and when he would refuse a free
passport to heaven If It were tendered him
on a silver salver. In thla Important par
' tlcular men differ from women. When a

woman la happy she seldom Inclines to
mstrtmony. It Is when she Is weary and
discoursed, and has hsd a bad lunch, and
wants some man's shoulder to weep upon,
that she yearns for a wedding ring, rnd
will marry sny man that Jinks her. Mrn.
on the contrary, think of acquiring a wife
as an adjunct of properlty, and It Is seldom
Indeed that they think of love making ex
cept In their affluent moois. A worrten,
therefore, should bs proposed to when she
Is down on her luck; a mon when he Is
pushing his luck.
Avoid the Fatal Mistake.
Tha first Impulse of the leap year girl
will be to propose by letter. This Is a fatal
mistake, because In the first plsce hr bil
let doux will reach the man with his busi
ness let tors, and tnus pass over to the cold
consideration of his stenographer. No
American mnn Is sentimental In banking
hours and during that sacred period of
the day no woman mny hope to compete
In heart Interest with the price of stocks
or wheat or lard. Moreover, the lonr
dlatancs proposal, whether It be made by
mnn or woman, seldom hits the bull's-eye.
It lacks the magnetism of personal appeal,
of trembling hands, and anxious eyes, and
quivering lips. Besides It Is always easier
to write "NO" than It Is to say It and the
woman who wants a husband Instead of
somebody to be a brother to her will have
to face ths music and make her proposal
viva voce.
Of course, tha man who will get tha
most proposals during Isap year" will ba
the bashful man. There are Innumerable
desirable men ail over tha country who
have been burning out the coal and run
ning up the gaa bills of girls for years,
and who have exhibited all tha symptoms
of acute attacks of love, but who have
never summoned up their courage to the
proposing point, and nobody could blame
these women If they took advantage of
leap year to assist their helpless suitor
over the fence. How to do thla without
throwing him Into fits Is a delicate and
difficult question. It won't do to lead up
to tha question gently, poetically, romanti
cally, for that would give him a chance
to run. It won't do to gase wistfully Into
his eyes, for that would embarraa him, or
to assume a tender attitude, for that
would make him feel like a fool, and ao
probably as good a way bs any would be
to come right out with the question and
take tha chances on his being too fright
ened to refuse.
Another man who causes woman many
heart achea and who ought to be dealt with
for his good and hers on the leap year
platform la the obtuse man, the dear
blundering bllnd-as-a-bat man who lets a
woman go on loving him, and embroidering
him slippers, and agreeing with him In
everything he says, year after year, with
out once perceiving that there la anything
serious In her attentions. There Is no way
to wake up these Rip Van Winkles except
by firing off a red-hot proposal right under
their noses, and making them see what a
good thing they were about to miss In miss
ing the patient Carrie, or Jane, or Maria,
who asks nothing else In life but the privi
lege of waiting on them hand and foot.
Never having thought of Carrie, or Jane,
or Maria, aa anything but a alster, or a
piece of household furniture, the man will
be astonished at first, and the chances are
that ha will exclaim, "This Is so sudden,"
but let not the ardent sultoress be discour
aged. The more he thinka of the Idea the
mora the attractions grow upon him and
In tha end he will joyfully let her escort
htm to tha altar.
Might Obtain an Option.
In asking a business man to go Into part
nership with her, woman ahould pursue
business tactics. She might begin by ask
ing for a thirty days' option on his heart
and hand. Thin granted, It will then ba up
to her to ahow how aha can strengthen the
firm by tha are that aha would take of
him, and the comforts by which she would
surround hlna In a happy little home. She
can point out. to him the rlska ; he runs
from tha deadly machinations of landladies,
the losses ha austalns from the pilfering of
laundresses and bell boys, and If ahe Is suf
ficiently a jollier to make him believe that
two can live cheaper than one her ault will
be successful. This kind of a courtship
will not appeal to the romantic woman who
wants to quota poetry, and write fool love
letters, but the business man, la ao emi
nently desirable aa a husband that It la a
case of tha result being worth tha means.
It ta difficult to Imagine It ever being
necessary for a woman to propose to a
widower, for tha widower la generally so
loaded and primed with offers of marriage
that ha goes popping at every woman In
aight, but In rare Instances In which he
seems Inclined to cling to single blessed
ness, a little stage play may. be effective.
A bright, cheery fire with a pretty and
sympathetic woman across the hearthstone
from him, a well spread table set just for
two what man could ba Insensible to these
insidious leads toward domesticity, or
could refuse tha woman who suggested
that thla charming scene be encored for a
life run.
In case tha man aaya no; In cage ha tells
a girl that ha will be a brother to her,
and advises her to go off and marry some
nobler and fairer man than ha, her cue will
ba to weep. Many women marry men be
causa they are sorry for them. Millions of
mon marry women because they haven't
the nerve to aea them cry. Generally
speaking, no man can sea a woman weep
for him unmoved. It shows so much good
taste and sense and sensibility In her
that It goes to hla heart. He never blames
her or thinks her silly. Poor little thing.
how could she help It, and ao, no matter
how much a man may be shocked at the
Idea of a wjman proposing to another
man, he will find extenuating clrcum
stances for her popping the question if he
himself Is the object of her devotion.
One thing, however, the leap year wo
man must bear In mind. She must play
fair Under no possible circumstances
should she propose marriage to a man un
less she can tke care of liim In the same
style in which his father has been accus
tomed to support him.

SLOAN'S
LINIMENT
FOR
YOUR
HOME
; mm r GSMJ
Carnegie, in advising some young men, once said, 44 Buy property near a growing city, all you can afford to carry.
Forget you have it ; buy another as soon as you can, and some day it will make you rich."
This is sound advice. We know, because we have been in the real estate business for thirty-five years, and have
seen ever so many big fortunes made by purchasers of outlying Philadelphia real estate.
A yearly profit of 25 on the money you invest is a fair return; is it not? That's what people who invest in our
suburban real estate offerings are making. Some few are doing much better. One of our investors made 750 within
the past year.
If you want to make good big money be one of the world's rich ones we can show you how to do it. ' Best of all,
you can make handsome profits on your savings without a particle of risk.
Your savings invested in our real estate are as safe as if deposited in the Bank of England.
Give your money a chance to work for you. It will work harder and to better advantage than you yourself can work.
Why Philadelphia Real Estate is
Growing in Value So Very Fast.
Philadelphia la a city of homes. People here are no flat
crary aa in most large cities. Thus, where everyone is living
in individual homes, the city must cover a much larger area and
he adding to that urea much faster than many a larger city, and
no city can grow without having suburbs to grow to. 9000
homes are built each year to satisfy the demand.
It is an actual fact that Philadelphia has 40,000 more houses
than all of Greater New York, and yet New York has nearly three
times the population.
Every few years Philadelphia has a natural increase in
population that would make a small city of 100,000 people, and if
you can conceive the amount of space a city of this size takes
up, you can have some idea of the suburbs that must be added
every year to Philadelphia to furnish homes for this rapidly
increasing population.
Thus Philadelphia grows by extending her suburban area.
Property that to-day is considered in the country will in a very
few years be pulsating with city life.
8uburban real estate is in great demand, particularly property
such as we offer where all improvements are made, and where the
building is carefully restricted to prevent saloons, shanties and
other undesirable buildings from proving a nuisance to residents.
Fully 80 of our property is sold to Philadelphia home
builders, and the balance to investors who want to make good
big money with absolute safety. Will you be one of them ?
Our Property the Greatest Bar
gain Ever Offered the Public.
At GLENSIDE, but 3 miles from the City limits, we have the greatest suburban
property in the world. This property it fully developed', sewers, water, gas, elec
tricity, granolithic sidewalks and wide macadamized roads. Every lot is full sized,
and many are very much larger.
The title and every lot is guaranteed perfect to ua by the Land, Title and Trust
Company, one of the largest and strongest organizations of its kind in the country.
Thete desirable home sites cost $290, $325, $375, $400, $500 and up to $750, but
you can become the owner of one by sending ut $(0.00 foe the first payment, and
the balance you can pay in weekly (or monthly) installments of a dollar or so
each week, aa best suits your convenience, depending on the value of your purchase.

returns right along.

Sovon Years Five Days.
522 Savier Street, Pobtlakp, Obb., June S, 1903.
I suffered for nearly seven years wi'h female weakness, caused by falling of the womb.
My head ached until I was unable to attend to my duties, had pains in the small of the back
and pelvis organs until at times I went nearly wild. 1 used one kind of a medicine after
another, but none did me tbe least bit of good until I used Wine of Cardui. When I began
using it 1 was so weak that 1 could hardly walk, but within eve days my strength began to

Mrs. Peterson suffered bearing down pains and blinding headaches for seven
long years. Wine of Cardui helped her in five days.
During all these years Wine of Cardui was curing hundreds of thousands of
other women of these same bearing down pains and freeing them from those same
maddening headaches. It was curing the worst menstrual irregularities. It was
giving blessed health to thousands of sufferers all around Mrs. Peterson. But she
continued to try other remedies with no relief. It took seven long years of those
bearing down pains and maddening headaches to bring Mrs. Peterson to try Wine
of Cardui. Then Wine of Cardui cured her. The benefit began in five days.
You are suffering like Mrs. Peterson suffered. You are neglecting Wine of Cardui
like she neglected it ; and just as surely as she was cured vou can be cured by
Wine of Cardui. All druggists sell $1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui.
