LOVEMAKING OF

This wus my re)ly to Kfleston
when lie got otr a lot i.f fulderol about
love ami Meiitln:eut and all that. 1 ad
mit 1 was interested, for 1 was medi
tating a proM)sal myself. I felt very
sure l.ydla would have me. Why
shouldn't she? I was a piTssuble fel
low: some property of my own: doing
well lu business: fairly ediicuted and
of good social position. Tliut's the
view 1 expected l.ydla to tuke of me
and a union with me. not whether she
would decline me on the ground that
I didn't get iiiiiiidliii over her or she
over me. The ipiestion wus. Having a
fairly good offer with a chance to set
tle dowu Into matrimonial life, was
she to accept It or run the risk of not
getting another as acceptubloj1 80 I
went to ber ninl said:
"Miss Hrtnsley. I'm going to make
you a proposition namely, that we
pass our lives together as man and
wife till death do us part" '
She looked at me out of a pair of
steely eyes for a' few momenta and
said:
"How about divorcer"
I've noticed that, no matter bow
composedly a man makes up bis mind
to deal with a woman, she straight
way sets about to dlvomiHwe him.
"The more common sense we put
Into a marriage the less likelihood
there'll be of a dlvorw." 1 said.
"It H the only imr of mnrrlace In
which there Is a likelihood. Death W
certain. Divorce Is Misslble. sometimes
probable. It la a contingency thai
should be provided for." v
"It seems to me that the first ques
tion to be settled r whether you are
prepared to enter ilium matrimony with
me. 'After that we can take up the
provisions, I? there are any."
"That's Just like a man always get
ting the cart Iwfore the horse. It
seems to me that the provisions should
be settled lirst. The marriage Is mere
ly a possible conclusion to them."
"Suinnwe." I suld. 't lint we leave di
vorce till the Inst of the provisions or.
rather. cotitliiKeiiilcs and begin with
something of 111. in Immediate comorn."
"Well, what's .vour Imome?"
Again I winced, not so much at the
question as nt her cold blooded man

"1 was not aware'.'' she replied Icily,
"that I expected anything. 1 thought
that you were tbe expectant'person."
Oh. heavens! Worse and worse! 1
