Leap year merely gives her a privilege which a woman can take whenever she likes It's lik the kiss under the mistletoe, entire- ly a joke. You wouldn't dare kiss any girl under the misti whom you wouldn't dare kiss anywhere else. And no girl woull think of asking a man to marry her on leap year, or at any other time—that no girl with a par common gense or delicacy.” “Or womanliness™ I “Or knowledge of men” “Or breeding.” “Or experience.” “1 wonder,” said | “if any ever did use that leap legs.” “Never,” said Polly, “since ghe has had the every year privilege of mak- ing a man propose to her. It would have been $0 very unneczasary. Any woman who uses a littls tact and sets out to can get a proposal. The dif ference betwzen proposing herself and making a man propose to her is the difference between using a whip and spur. You don’t have to whip a horse—that is, a horse worth hav- ing—do you? But you do often have to spur him when you come to a jump. A man is like a horse; he hates a whip, but he minds a spur.” “Oh, 1 see,” sald I, chuckling to Marc Antony until the sleigh sped over the frozen road; “a proposal is like a hedge. A fellow wants to get over it, but he is afraid of what is on the other side. He may ‘land in a tangle—or he may get a cold water dousing.” “Or he fancies there ditch somewhere.” “Or a trap,” | suggested gently. “Exactly,” said Polly, “and that is why it nveds a little mental sugges tion from the girl to spur him on. If she attempts to drive him with a whip he balks. But mental sug gestion———" “That isa't anythin tism-—Iis it, Polly?” “Well—-a little,” acknowledged Pol- ly. “It's making somebody think something that isn’t s0.” “Making him think that there isn’t cold water on the other gzide?” I in- quired. “Yes, or a tangle,” said Polly. “The average man dreads g2tting tangled up worse than he does plung- ing into cold water.
