This girl realized her mistake when it was too late, While every girl aced not stay in a rut, by remaining in one Position too long, yet there is some- thing to be said about the wisdom of holding that which you have. Often a girl has bettered herself by changiing her position. But she has had the new one ready to go to There is a fair chance taken in such a case, but in many other instances girls get in a “huff? and leave to their later sorrow.

He laid his heart, his fu- ture at woman's feet, She listened, even encouraged him, yes, “led him on,” and then smilingly pleaded time, a few days, a few months, perhaps a year!

Return to her again? Make a SECOND declaration of love? Never! More than one man has marched off into the chilly night and disappeared into the dark, never to return agafn, And yet the girls who are slow to whisper “yes” always make the best wives after they have “thought it all over.” And the man who is willing to*put his pride in his pocket, his heart back to normal beating and |wive woman her desired time always | reaps his reward.

He may find a woman who springs at his proposal just the way he expected her to, He may experience a few thrills of REAL LOVE. But thrills do not last over a second, And the woman who says Yes" on the spur of the moment can say “NO” at the same pace! Woman has a right to think mat- ters over and an intelligent suitor realizes this, How many times does man think it over before he finally decides to ask woman to be his wife? If the truth be known man is on the fence @ long time! And it is right that he should be, A n who can jump into a life contract without many days of planning and scheming would make a pretty poor happy-go- lucky sort of a partner, Therefore since he has solved his side of the quéstion man must give woman a chance to solve her side! Hasn't woman a right to sit on the fence just @ short time herself? Man should be proud when the woman he loves asks for time, LUCK OF THE UNEMPLOYED, (Brom the Galveston News.)
