I have received the following letter: "Dear Dorothy Dix: We are a club of ten bachelor girls who have de termined to take advantage of the last tap of leap year to pop the question. How shall we do it? How shall we go about asking a man for his heart and hand in marriage? Modern Maids." H'ml This is a difficult question to answer. There is a complete chronicle of how to lead a man up to the proposing point that has been passed down orally, generation after generation, from mother to daughter, but no code of procedure has been formulated for the woman who means to propose herself. Of course it's going to be a tick lish iob anv wav that it is done. because men are no more accustomed to receiving offers of marriage than women are to making them, ootn parties are inexperienced. Even the man doesn t know now ne wui taKe it, and there are conservative indi viduals who prophesy that men will be so shocked by the procedure that they will say "No" as with .one voice. But this waits to be proven. Past experience has not shown , that men are averse to the admiration of the fair sex, nor that they turn a deaf ear to woman's avowals of her death less affection for them. Startling as the innovation of a marriage propo sal from a woman may be, the chances are that man will first endure, then pity and embrace. My first suggestion to the leap year girl who proposes to propose is that she should be wary about choos ing the psychological place and mo ment in which to do the deed. 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. Therefore bide your time and also wait until you catch your man in a meltmo' and ootimistie mood. Men and women differ in their attitude to ward matrimony. When a woman is happy she doesn't incline toward the holy estate. It is when she is weary and discouraged and wants some man's shoulder to weep upon that she yearns for a wedding ring, and will marry almost any man who asks her. Men, on the contrary, think of a wife as an adjunct of prosperity, and it is seldom that they make love ex cept when they are affluent. A wom an should be proposed to when she is down on her luck; a man when he is pushing his luck. It will be a temptation to the leap year girl to propose by letter.

Secondly, no American man is sen timental m business hours and during that sacred period of the day no woman may hope to compete in heart interest with the price ot stocks, or wheat, or canned goods. Thirdly, the long-distance proposal, whether made by man or woman, sel dom hits the bull's-eye. It lacks the magnetism of personal appeal, of trembling hands and anxious eyes and quivering lips. Also it is easier to write "No" than it a to say it, and the woman who wants a husband in stead of somebody to be a brother to her will have to face the music and make her proposal viva voce. Different men, different manners. With the bashful man the proposal must be quick and sudden, It won't do to lead up to the question poetic ally and romantically, for that would give him a cnance to run. It won't do to gaze wistfully into his eyes, tor that would embarrass Rim into fits, or to assume a tender atti tude, for that would make him feel like a fool. And so, your only chance is to come right out suddenly with the question and take the chances on his being too frightened to refuse. Then there is the blundering, bltnd-as-a-bat man, who lets a woman go on loving him and embroidering his slip pers and agreeing with everything he says for years without perceiving there is anything serious in her at tentions. There is no way to wake up these Rip Van Winkles except by firing off a red-hot proposal right un der their noses. Propose to a business man in a business way. Ask for a thirty days' option on his affections. Then put in your time by showing him what a good thing you are. Convince him you can strengthen the firm by the care you will take of him and the comforts by which you will surround him in a happy little home. Point out to him the risks he runs from the deadly danger of landladies; the losses he sustains from pilfering laundresses and bell boys, and if you are a sufficiently good jollier to make him believe that two can live as cheaply as one, your suit will be suc cessful. In case a man says "No" and ad vises you to go off and marry some nobler and fairer man than he, your cue will be to weep. Many women marry men because they are sorry for them. Millions of men marry women because they haven't the nerve to see them cry. Generally speaking, no man can see a woman weep for htm unmoved. It shows so much good taste and sensi bility in her that it goes to his heart He never blames her or tbinks her silly. Poor little thingl How could she help it? And so no matter how much a man may be shocked at the idea of a woman proposing, he will find extenuating circumstances for her popping the question to him. One thing, however, the leap year girl must bear in mind. She must play fair. She should not propose marriage to a man unless she can take care of him m the same style in which his father has been ac customed to support him. - Yon can gt Sunldat Orang.a lmmi uniformly good fruit la Bold.

Gwendolyn's Foot Chewed Off By A. R. GROH. Joe and Trix, Tip and Queen, Bess and her two young daughters are en joying the winter at Riverview park. They are seven bears, children, big brown bears, except Bess' two daugh ters, who are little brown bears, be ing only a year old. That reminds me that R. L. Robert son, the caretaker, asked me to name the two little bears. Let's see, what shall we name them? Um-tn-m. I'm not very good at naming bears. I've got it. All the big bears have little names. So let's give the little bears big names. We'll call the lit tle bear with one foot chewed off Gwendolyn. And the other little bear we'll call Ro1ertsona, after Mr. Rob ertson. Now don't forget their names when you go down to see them. Joe and Trix are in hibernation. They sleep all night and all day, rolled up in two balls in tbeir cave. Joe is only 4 years old. He was named in honor of Park Commissioner Joe Hummel. The other bears are all awake, but not earing very much these days; only about four pounds of meat and a loaf of bread a day each. Here's a cage full of wolves, great, gaunt, restless gray fellows. They are fed on bones. If they gave them meat, the keeper tells me. they would bolt it down too fast But the bones they have to chew a little. And they digest the bones fine. A bone that would choke you is just "duck soup" for the wolves. The coyotes live right next door. They look like the wolves, only they're smaller. Their principal amusement is fighting. If a fellow isn't a good fighter he has no business be ing a coyote. Some of them have their ears chewed off. Two wild boars live next door to the coyotes. One of them is a wicked rascal. He keeps grumbling all the time. About two years ago he bit a chunk out o' Mr. Robertson's leg. Up on the hill in one compartment of the big round cage lives Bre'r Fox. Ah, a sad life is his. For in the next cage are a lot of brown bantam chick ens and on the other side of him two raccoons keep house. And all of Bre'r Fox's slyness does not help him to devise a way to get those fat 'hick ens and raccoons. He just runs around his cage with his mouth water ing and a look of longing on his face.

Maloney Urges Women to Carry Cash in Stockings The stocking is the safest p'.sce on earth for a woman to carry her money, according to the head of Omaha's detective department, Steve Maloney. The grabbing of several Docketbooks Sa.urday evening which were dangling from the arms of Omaha women would never have oc curred if they had carried their change in their stockings, says the chief. The present short skirt makes it as easy for the woman to get the money out of her stocking as from her pocketbook, the chief adds. miimiiMmiiiimiiiinu jiii!iii"ii'hiii Hello, Kittie.
