An Up-to-Date Young Man.

“Dick proposed to me Inst night,” confessed Madge to Elizabeth. “Let me congratulate yon, for, of course, you accepted him?” “No.” “You didn’t reject him?” “Yes.” “How did he take ft?” “Oh, he was perfectly lovely about it, and I almost worship him for it. He said he knew girls liked to have it to say that they had had a great many offers, and that he should not despair, but he hoped that when I had refused enough proposals to satisfy me I would intimate the fact to him In some way, and then he would propose again, and we could be married quietly and settle down. Do you think it would be forward in me to let him know that I have now refused all the offers I care to?” —Leslie’s Weekly.
