4- LEAP YEAR. ♦
4+>+ + + 4
Well, Doris, dear, the time has come,
The one year out of four,
When maidens fair may pick and i
choose
’Tis your ttirn no wto talk of love,
'Tis my chance to be wooed;
I pon my bachelor reserves
You may at last intrude.
I daresay you have found me slow,
Your patience I have tried,
For, bless my heart! each time we met
It seemed my tongue was tied.
Whenever I have meant to say:
“Come, let us live together,”
I’ve mumbled stale and silly things
About the doggone weather.
Because, you witch! you were so cool,
So "absent” and serene
That, as the slank expression goes,
You fairly “scared me green.”
An arrant coward? Well, perhaps;
At guessing you are quick,
But now it’s your time, lady-mine—
Let’s see you turn the trick.
That little sniffy air of yours
Has very plainly said
You deemed it quite an easy thing
To ask a girl to wed.
Now put your courage to the test —
(You’re .blushing like a rose!)
I dcuble-dare you, Doris, dear,
To come here and propose!
—Selected.

.SOME MORE OF THE
CLARA BELLE CHATTER.
My, my, what a lot men do think of I
themselves. Does one exist who does'
not believe that he is irrestible to the'
fair sex? These thoughts were arous
ed by a conversation overheard re
cently. The speakers were, of course,
a man and a woman; neither was in •
the first flush of youth; and they were
evidently not present lovers. The wo
,nan appeared to be about a well-pre
served forty-five; the man about fifty,
and he looked every year of it.
They seemed to have just met, after
several years of separation, and he
wa s eagerly inquiring about her life
since they parted. What was she do
ing? Was she happy?
"How you do run on,” she said,
quietly; “there is no occasion for such
anxiety. I am as happy as possible;
plenty of money, a charming set of
friends in the best society, absolute,
freedom in my goings and comings. |
What more can a woman desire ”
“You have .every appearance of hap- j
piness. But are you never lonely?” j
“Never.”
“Then there is perhaps some one in |
whom you are especially interested -
and whose society helps you to pass
hours that would otherwise be soli-I
tury?” His voice expressed a shade of ■
, anxiety.
| “Oh, no,” she threw back; “I have |
jbeen very careful indeed to avoid the 1
■ p'tfall of marriage. Oh. no, you taught.
' me a lesson, and I profited by it to the |
'utmost. I am perfectly aware of the!
II value of a man’s protestations.”
The man was silent for a few mo-
Iments, then he said: “Has it ever
i struck you that you are leading a very
hellish life?”
I "In what way?’ The man made no|
l
'■reply and she went on: “I suppose I
: you mean because I am not looking'
i after some man; mending his socks,
cooking his dinners, taking care of his
I
jbrats. Why should I? I give as much
hi - I can afford to charity and I feel
[that is all I need do. I chn see no reas
on for devoting myself to some man
| who will probably desert me for some
•’younger and better-looking woman
when I haev worn myself out in his
Alcazar!

Service. No, thank you; marriage
dees not appeal to me.”
“And you always have your own
way in everything?”
“Os course I do; if some one doesn’t
treat me the way I want I simply drop
that person, and there’s an end of it.”
“And, I suppose, you seldom have a
chance to be out by yourself.”
“That’s where you are mistaken. I
manage to have several hours to my
■ self every day; people bore me when I
see too much of them.”
“Then I had better go before you put
[ me on the black list.”
He rose and she made no effort to
' detain him. As he passed me he mut
tered: "Did I really once love that
jitass of selfishness? She thinks she is
lhappy, queening it over every one; how
I wrong she is. And once she pretended
to love me. Yet I can’t believe it was
(wholly pnstense. My opinion is that
she still loves me and won't confess;
but I won’t give in to her.”
And the fatuous fellow went his woy.
