Dear Madam: My private opinion in that a woman has every right in the world to propose to a desirable man, because every woman has her own idea of the kind of man she would Mke to be the father of her children. Every girl and woman who expects to marry should consider the health and disposition of a future husband. He should be an up-to- date man, imtelligent, able to discuss politics and any question of the day. Buskirk states that the proper order|tne question ‘Should Women Pro- of things ts topsy-turvey when wom- pose?’ I would like to lend my wee an ie not permitted to pick her own #ma' voice and join the group of dis- seed ’ nters.

The only reason a) girl would propose to a man is be- couple of months. Here is how be tha. ah Worrt: brepees to she did it. It is interesting to read, if for no other reason than to prove women do the propos ing and to show how clever women are when they want @ husband, Here is the story: “I met my wife-to-be at her married sister's house @ couple of years ago. | I knew her brother-in-law and her sister about six months before I ever saw her, The first time I saw her I became Interested in her and asked her to meet me at her sister's in two weeks, She promised and kept her word. At that Ume she was going out with another pretty often, “I can say now that she did not really care for him but kept going with him for no other reason but that he | took her dancing a lot. But she did 1 met her and took her out frequently, Fred, the other fellow, was taking her out as often as he could, at the same time. “All of a man is in love with a will propose fast enough. a girl knows she marry before thi he man would no doubt d rt failure You might ill a man as scare him to Picture yourself on one k front of some poor, thin-cl 's, 1f I should propose to a man and he accepted me, and after- | ward the arrangement should prove! to be @ failure, by having usurped | the prerogative I would have lost my opportunity to place the blame on the man's shoulders, “Again, having proposed to a man, I would feel that it was incumbent upon me to support him after mar- riage. This ia out of the question, for it is all I can do to support my- self. How then could f agree to fur- nish the necessary coin with which to support a husband in the style to which he has not been accustomed? “I noticed the statement of the woman physician to the offect that man is the only species which pro- poses.

Chinese New Year will dawn at mid- night and the echoes of Mott Street, | Doyer and Pell will resound with sal- utations from merry chinks in good old American style. Chinese gentle- men will call on their lady friends and the click of chop sticks will be heard among mountains of rice and slivers of roast pork, with team from Amoy and Canton to wet down the feast. And on the morrow the celes- tial maidens will make New Year's calls, “Gun ‘ne fa’ toy” will be the greet- ing after midnight, and the response will be “Ho fay ki la.” The first means “Happy New Year,” or its equivalent, and the answer is “Good Lue! And all is peace and quiet in the confines of Chinatown. For the first time in many moons the dove of peace hovers over the little alleys, and the gay trappings on Joss house and wagh-house mean good cheer, content and the best of good fellowship. The police fear no uprising of the tongs nor the roar of the “forty-five.” The lion slumbers by the side of the lamb, The Ong Leong Tong, the Hip Sing Tong and the Four Brothers are in peaceful accord and no guns have been oiled these many moon Some firecrackers may be shot off, for the chink dearly loves a noise and ad- heres to the old legend that noise— much noise—scares the devil out of Chinatown, The police, under Inspec- tor Dwyer, have been making a house to house search during the day for fireworks, and the Chinese know that the crackers are under the ban. One little rift in the lute of hap- piness was the display of a number of red notices posted in temple and tea- room this morning. The cards carried an edict from the Chinese Ambassa- dor at Washington to observe the holiday in the old way of the Man- churian dynasty. Much tndignation and incessant jabbering arose at the display and the cards were torn down. Yuan Shai Kai, the new Emperor, hasn't much of loyal following in Mott Street. The Chinese, to a man, refused to depart frum the celebration under the auspices of the republic which has been in vogue these five years. a And so the celebration will be “alle same Melican style, sabe?” They have been cleaning house ai day in China- town and the men are paying their debts. There wil be no house clean- ing on the first of the Chinese years— no washee and no ironing, The Chi- nese believe in year with clean records. — OBITUARY NOTES, Smith Price, ninety-six years of age, is dead at Mineola, L. 1.
