Never propose to your best girl when she is dressed up in her best bib and tucker. Go call on her and stay until about 10 o'clock. Then leave, but leave your glove also. Call the mext morning to get your glove. If she comes to the door with an unlaced shoe on one foot and a slipper on the other, her hair down and an old on, take to the woods as fast as you can, Beat it Many a time the money spent for “Gates Ajar,” wreaths and broken wheels ought to have been spent for a hired girl.

He has to take & soclety woman and throw her on her back and shake a shroud over her to make her stop and think and pray, and realize what she is doing.
