Heart Secrets of a Fortune Teller;

x The Way They Propose.
"I'm very jnuch perplexed," says
a certain young lady who interviewed
me today. The jiian who wants to
marry me is very attractive in many

can say. But a J a lover he's an aw
ful disappointment." ;
"No form," I inquires, "or no
speed? 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

or shined up for the occasion?"
"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

both rather enjoy it!" .. ; - . .

the folded rortion- Marbles or
other small 'objects may be tightly
