Z1' 'I THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1921. Heart Secrets of a Fortune Teller; I By RACHEL MACK. x The Way They Propose.

What's the trouble?" "VVell" she sighs hopelessly, "I don't know just Low to describe his faults and shortcomings to make you understand, but he simply can't make love! At least he can't do it the way it ought to be donel" "Falls short of the matinee sam ples and the 1Ct screen versions, does lie?" I asks understandingly. "Indeed he-does," she. agrees, "and, as I said,, it's been - an awful disappointment to inc. I had always "dreamed of a proposal like the ones in the' books. I had hoped that my future husband -would choose 'a ro mantic time and place to ask me tr. be his wife and ,o course I had planned some of the tender words that would pass between us," : ''But the scene didn't develop ac cordin to ulans;" I ask. "No indeed;" he said' bitterly, "It was a perfect fa.tce. His-' proposal was a mere .burlesque of what a pro posal 'should be.!. ...... "Tell me about it, dearie," I sug gests much interested. . , "Well," she says, sighin' again, "he overlooked a dozen good open ings when times were favorable. .Moonlight and music and roinautic surroundings seemed to have no ef fect on him he simply wouldn't grab his cue!" I nods cnconragin'ly to show I'm follow-in' her, so she" goes, on .with the story. ' "One day last veek, when he was walking home from work with me and when the scenery was all wrong he proposed. I was wearing my' second best suit, which is very unbecoming, and my ha. was sitting crooked over one eye. f My hair had come out ot cor because of the uaujji(55, auu miy ovcrsiioes w ere flopping with every Step I took. It was terrible 1" , .. ' . "And not a chance foMiiju to fall on his knees 1" I interrupts sympa thetically. "I should .say-not!" she answers, almost weeping' "The sidewalks were crowded, -and people were jostling each - otKer wjth wet um brellas. And to make it 'worse," she winds up in a climax, "you could smell Ih'er and bacon frying in ever- restaurant we oassed." ' "Yes, yesl" I soothes. . "It most have been a blow." "And the unromantic things he said!" she goes on. -"Not a word of suicide if J rejected him! Not a men tion of my beitig the guiding star of his life, or the flower of his soul! Just a stammering line about his holding a good job. and wanting to take care of me for life, and some dull details about payments he was making on a lot over in some new subdivision. Can you wonder that L didn't thrill over it?" "No," I admits truthfully, "I can't. V'lt wasn't a thriller as proposals go. But as a proposition for mar riage it wasn't half bad." I pats her hand kindly, and hastens to express my convictions on the subject. - "It's natural, dearie," ! says, "for e'ery woman to dream of a prince with soulful eyes and the ability to bend a graceful knee. She cuts that idea along with hep teeth, and she clings to it to the bitter end. She pictures herself as sonic day listenin' to words of burnin love and passion, and being swept off her feet into a land flooded with moonlight and thornless roses, am I not speakin' the truth?" "Yes," I goes on, "that's what we all dream about, whether we admit it or not.. We admire the heroes in the matinees because they're experts at the business. ' "Well," she answers, smilin', "there's something in that." "Then think it over, girlie," I says. "Think it over seriously. It might be 4- A !

"Then you think when a man's most in earnest he's most apt to be plain and unromantic?" she says, an swerin" my question with another. "I do," I remarks without hesita tion. "That young mau of yours stuttered, dearie, because he1 was struck sudden and hard; right be tween the eyes, with the ' big idea that he loved you and wanted you to know it. He was so serious that he mentioned the bacon instead of the moonlight, nd he was so gone on you, girlie, that you looked good to him even in floppy overshoes and a last year's suit. How's that for 'a test?" ,"Not half bad," she answers. "I was just looking at things from the wrong direction. That was a proposa" worth getting but just the same, she says, smilin' suddenly with a bright thought. I'm going to make him do it all over again this evening by a pink shaded light and a -Hawaiian phonograph record. I think we'd both rather enjoy it!" .. ; - . .
