By Neal R. O'Hara. | Copyright, 1920, by The Prem Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World.) W E understand 1920 is Leap Year. Leap Year is bunk. It's the Bins and they're already married. They are the guys that think all |the world’s a stage and that marriage is its biggest farce. A guy is supposed to run more risk of being caught Leap Year thaa any other time. But so far as we can see, a guy's risk of being nipped is | wise it's even. A guy's chances of dodging matrimony—in Leap Year or ; Out of ttare a lot slimmer than the perfect thirty-sixes that are always | waiting to cop a prospect. j That old saying about “man proposes nd woman dispases™ is only half right. Woman doe@ both, But the idea that Leap Year is the only time girls speak out loud is a large consignment of bunkam. Listen, Pal. If a girl WANTS you, she'll GET you —without consalting the calendar. She doesn't care in what year she happens to ask you so long as she’s hep to the year you'll be married in, The proof of the pudding ain't the reeipe—tts — { the eating of It. And the same thing goes for the wedding cake. Love is the same as politics in a lot more ways than one. The Sig. chance for the pols every four years is the Presidential election. . The big {chance for the girls'is Leap Year, which also follows the four-year schedule. But you'll notice the candidates are lined up a long time before |the voters accept or reject ‘em. And the same thing happens in Cupid's national party. Yep, love is the same as politics. Except a defeated candi- date rarely comes back for more—in politics. Hooks and eyes are what join happy couples together these days— the girl's hooks and the girl's eyes. She uses ‘em both, but not in the order named. We don’t believe one girl in a million asks a guy pointblank to marry her. And we don't believe that one guy in a million escapes, once his lady friend makes up her mind, And that's the nuptial dope in a nutshell, i | The dames lose no time when a man speaks his mind. Many a guy on bended knee has asked his girl to marry him as soon as he’s straightened out. And he considers he's straightened out as soon as he gets off his knees. Which is the way with girls—speed! However, go easy, friends. ‘The guy that marries in haste these days repents at the rate,of alimony the Judge announces. An unfortunate marriage is the only instalment proposition that requires no initial deposit. Girls may be shy about ask- ing to marry, but we notice they're not so shy about asking for divoree. When iit comes to divorce it's the man that’s shy—about $250 a montly in alimony. But don't believe a/l the knocks you hear about marriage. Matrimony may be @ failure, but it seems to keep the preachers pretty busy. Also the teachers and toy makers. They all take a trip sooner or later and get married. A swain should remember a few tine points, though. The high C's of matrimony are children, coal and cooking—make no mistake about that, A guy should also understand that no girl likes a long engagement unless she's starring on Broadway. Which reminds us that marriage may not be so exciting as the bedroom farces show it, but it has a longer run, So step to it, giris—i920 is more than a Presidential year. Select your candidates early.
