“Oh. John. this is so sud-

This is a favorite formula for popping the question and is much used by bachelors who are tired of being the community boy friends arid want

owr.. Of course, there are many

different ways in which a. man can get his proposal across to a girl,

no matter how dumb and tongue-tied he may be.

The most effici-

ent one is to let Georgina do it. After she has watched a good

catch flounder around

in a sea of romance until he is about

t0

drown, she can pull off a wedding by just assuming that she and Romeo are engaged and telling him the kind of ring she wants.

GENEROSITY HELPS

But in courtship there are many small nuances that should be observed if a man wants iils sweetie to say “yes", instead of telling him that she will be a sister to him. One is in the matter of gifts. Don't be a tightwad. She will size you up by the price tags on them.

Don't give practical presents.

If you are not a glib love-maker. don't try to say it.

You can be as eloquent and romantic and poetic and make asmany passionate vows on paper as you please. whereas you would choke

on your Adam's apple if you even attempted to say them.

a wife's most precious possession are a. bundle of love letters, tied with biue ribbon, that her husband wrote her when he was court-

ing her.

But I never have known awoman who would tell just

what her husband said to her when he proposed. But there are times in a. man's love life when he should watch his step and be careful of what he says before he pops the question.

One is when he meets a woman who ls a fre weeper.

Practically

any woman, whose tear ducts are in good working order, can float

any man she

wants to the altar. Somehow there is a chemical in a

woman's tears that dissolves the backbone in even the strongest male.

Nor is this all.

Any woman who can do the cry-ba/by act without her

nose getting red can hold her husband up for everything he can't

afford.
