REJECTION LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL IN OLDEN TIME COSTLY Women never seem to have tak en verv seriously their privilege ol assuming the initiative in -proposing during leap year to the man ot iU'elr fitney; nevertheless, the faet remains that they havo been In many countries within their lecnl rlithlSi to do so, and purllanien lary law has provided a penally lor the man surriilently uimallant to retuse the overturn. As far back as 122S the Scot tish parliament ordained "that dur Inn we reign of her maist blesslt maljestie. Marearet, ilk maiden ladle, or both high and low estatlt, shall hae llbertie to speak ye nion she likes. If he refuses her to his wife, he shall bo mulct in tho sum ot nne hundred pounds, or less, as his estatlt may bee, except anil always if ho can make It appearo that he is betluotliet to another woman, then ho shall bo free." itecorils do not show that this ancient Taw was strictly enforced. Two -hundred years later Genoa and Florence legalized the custom of feminine wooing duiliiB leap year. In London, in 1606, there appear ed a book yclept "Courtship. l)ve and Matrimony." in lilt h appear- j ed the Illuminating parasraph: "Albeit It has now become a part I of the common lawe in rcarde to social relations of life that as often as every bissextile year doth re turn the ladys have the sole privi lege durln gine lime u cuiiiiiiuc-in of making love lo the men, which they do either by wordes or by lookes, as to them It scemeih proi" er: and, moreover, no man shall oe entitled to the benefit of clergy who doihe In any wise trealc her proposal with slight or contumely."
