It is leap year, and if a tidy girl with L-ed cheeks fëels a palpitation of the heart for some worthy young man, would it be any harm for her to cail upon his father speak about the weather, the bad roads, the hard times and the bad state of society, and then remark: " Mr. Quincy, I have an affection for yotir son George, and I think I could soon learn to love hiin." Quincy would look at her from the corner of his eye, and she would continue : "I can wash, bake, cut over clothes, sew, play the piano, manage a servant, do embroidery, sing, speak good grammar and mako a home happy." Quincy would look from the corner of his other eye, and she would go on: "I hear that he is home nights, is saving, well educated, sensible, has no bad habits, and is just the kind of husband I want. I don't expect any money with him, but will do my share of work, planning and saving to help him secure a home and a bank book. With your permission I should like to pay my addresses to him." Mr. Quincy would teil her to go ahead, if he was a sensible man, and wouk there be anything wrong about it?- Detroit Free Press.
