Fancy and Fact.

‘‘So you managed to propose to that girl at last?” said one young man. “Yes; but the dialogue wasn’t anything like what I had figured out. I intended to say; ‘Hortense, I have ldng regarded you with the affection siich as a man feels for but one woman In the world —the woman he would make his wife. Will you be mine?' And I thought she would say something like thTs: ‘Harold, I feel that T can trust my future 'happiness to you.’ ’’ “That sounds fine.” “Yes. But what took place? I showed her the engagement ring and said ‘Huh?’ And she just said ‘Ubhuh!’ and put it on.” —Washington Star.
