A bright girl fashions a rhyme \ to tell her love and probubly thinks she fs shielding her native timidity behind the metrical lines, Poetry ts so much more of a verda! screen than prose, Be- aides, every one knows of poetic license, and why should leap year license and poetic license not go hand in hand? Then, again, in prose you are sup- posed to state plainly what you think; you oan't do that in poetry, it never would rhyme. So you wreath your {dea about with words and extra syllable: @nd at the end it’s ten to one yuu don't fecognize your original thought a all. Probably no one else ever will recog- nine it etther. So !f your powers of per- suasion are great, you can turn and twist your poetic effusion about until it means anything that sults your fancy. The possibilities are limiticss, Poetry and popping the question seem to go naturally hand-in-hand, But, please. dear Evening World read- rs don't send all your contest letters In rhyme, ‘Taking It Sertousty.

Shorteming the Alphabet, De ies Ayer: 1s one way in which a bash- < ful young man could be brought ™ to the point very quickly, and young lady can strike him very easily with the answer: “When U and I are one.” If his wits are with him he can embrace the opportunity without delay. It seems to me this way of “popping the question’ is yery simple, but has @ great meaning. , LuMc An Old Mald's Plan. Dear Miss Ayer AM an old maid and I belleve the I eastest way for a lady to propose is just to eay (as Iam going to say this Now Year to an old bachelor who calls on me every New Year), “Now, John, this is leap year and the Indies have the privilege to propose. Would you like the {dea of you and me getting mar- ried?’ If he refuses he has to give me a silk dress, but I have an idea he won't refuse. L. H. R. ‘The Only One for Her. Dear Miss Ayer a HE best and least embarrassing way to pop the question 1s just to say “Now that the oppor- tunity is @fforied me to ask that im- portant question, I joyfully do ao, as I love you more than any one ¢lse and feel sure you of all persons are the one to make life happy and the only one for me."
