WHEN MAN
PROPOSES

I LOOK perfectly calm?" in-
“D‘
quirc-d Fully, climbing intc the
wrong side of the sie gh anil trying to
tuck the laprobe around the das-liboard.
•‘Because,” she went ou. i f ginning to
take off her gloves, and then, as she
recollected lierecir. nervoutly drawing
them on again, "though you might rot
auspect It. I’m—a little—excited. I've
Just finished getting proposed to.”
I gave the check rein a violent J» rk
that must have Insulted a horse like
Marc Antony.
“1 wouldn’t even ask who—.” I began.
"Oh. you needn't,” said Polly. "It was
only Bobby Paddington.”
I started. The check rein slipped
from my fingers, and I let the whip fall
with a thud iuto the snow.
"Why, what’s the matter?” asked
Polly. "It isn’t polite to be surprised
when a girl gets proposed to. U looksas
If you had thought she couldn t
"Oh. it isn’t that.” said I. “Anybody
could get proposed toby Bobby Padding-
ton—and in leap year.”
“Pooh!” said Polly, ns 1 stepped into
the sleigh and tucked the robe around
her. “Lc ap year has nothing to do with
It—nor Bobble Paddington, either—if a
girl has really made tip her mind. Leap
year merely gives her a privilege which
a woman can take whenever ahe likes.
It’s like the kiss under the mistletoe, en-
tirely a Joke. You wouldn’t dare kiss
any girl under the mistletoe whom yen
wouldn’t dare kiss any where else. And
no girl would think of asking a man to
marry her on leap year, or at any other
time—that Is, no girl with a particle of
common sense or delicacy.”
“Or womanliness," I declared.
"Or knowledge of men." said Polly.
"Or breeding."
"Or experience."
“I wonder." said I. "if any woman
ever did use that leap-year privilege.”
"Never,” said Polly, "since she has
had the every year privilege of making
& man propose to her. It would have
been so very unneceEsa^-. Any woman
who uses a little tact and sets out to
can get a proposal. The difference be-
tween proposing herself and making a
man propose to her is the difference be-
tween using a whip and spur. You dor t
have to whip a horse—that is, a horse 1
worth having—do you? But you do |
often have to spur him w hen you come to
a Jump. A man is like a horse; he hates
a whip, but he minds a spur.”
"Oh, I see." said 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 Ison the other
side. He may land In a tangle—or he
may get a cold water dousing.”
"Or lie fancies there might be a ditch
somewhere."
"Or a trap." I suggested, gently.
"Exactly," said Polly, "and that is
why it needs a little mental suggestion
from the girl to spur him on. If she at-
tempts to drive him w ith a whip he
balks. But nser.tal suggestion—”
"Thai isn't anything like—hypnotism
—is it, Pollv?"
"Weil—a little,” acknowledged Polly.
“It's making somebody think roir.e-
thing tbat isn’t so.”
"Making him think that there isn’t
cold water on the other side?” I in-
quired.
“Yes, or a tangle,” said Polly. “The
average man dreads getting tangled up
worse than he does plunging into eold
water. But if you can hide all the cords
of a b'r.dir.g engagement and all the
bonus, of matrimony, or can make them
look like garlandr. or cover them with
silk and can persuade him that a pro-
posal isn't a hedge at all. but a bower of
roses that be ran slip over without any
discomfort, nnd that the water on the
other side couldn’t possibly be cold, but
Just warm tears of affectionate sym-
pathy, and that there aren't any ditches
in which to be entombed alive, or an>
traps In which to be caught, and then
can make him believe tbat >on don't
care whether be takes a leap or not—"
“He w ill go pell-mell ou to his doom!"
I finished tragically.
"Like Bobb Paddington,” Polly gig-
gled.
“Oh, Bobby Paddington!" I remarked
with diEgmt. 'Ho is Just like tome
fool horses that would take any hedge.
If it was a brick w all—and always land
on their feet. There is a Divine Provi-
dence that protects Bobby.”
"I’m very sure you're very uncompli-
mentary.” said Polly. “And, besides,
Bobby Paddington landed right In the
Ice-cold water this time. 1 refused hint
—as hard as I could.”
I looked down at the demure little
bundle of fur beside me, with one curl
and a nceo slicking out of the big col-
lar.
“Did you do It for my sake, Polly?" I
asked softly.
"No." said Polly, "for Bobble's. He
needed the lesson. His conceit was
something atrocious. Drs'dcs, I made
a sort of wagtr with Kitty Carter—”
Poliy stopped.
"Well?" I suggested.
"Oh. well—that I could—that he
should—I m< an— Oh. don't you under-
stand. Mr Heavy feat her—by 12 o'clock.
1 finished refusing him at flic minutes of.
while you were waltzing with—"
"How do you know with whom 1 was
Waltzing?"
"Oh, 1 only bad to keep one eye nnd an
Sar on Bobby—and not my heart,” said
telling him that the jam was In the
closet, but that the door was locked.”
“1 don't understand.” said 1.
"1 told him.” said Pony, "that I never,
intended to marry, never!"
I jerked the reins ao suddenly that
Marc Antony threatened lo stand upon
his hind legs.
"What did jou tell him that for?” 1
exclaimed.
"Bobby would hate to think anybody
who was in the matrmcnial market
had entangled him. explained Poll).
"He likes to think he is pursuing some-
body who doesn't want him. That's
the funny thing about most men They
always want the girl who they think
doesn't want them, and thereby lay the
foundation for the divorce court pro-
ceedings right there in the parlor wt« re
the proposal is go.tig ou. It is neai 1> al
wa\s sate to begin making a man pro-
pose to you, by telling him you axe un-
attainable. It is like telling a small
hoy that there’s Jelly cake in the pantry
but that It’s locked up. He immediately
begins to look for the pantry key.
"Polly,” said I, gazing down upon that
small bundle of fur w ith real awe in my
eyes, “are you sure you aren t a reincar-
nation of Plato—or Socrates or some-
body? For an unreasonable little per
son, you can reason better
••Oh. It didn't come naturally," laughed
Polly. ’’It's the result of—well, you
might say long experience.”
I winced. I was searching my mem-
try; and somewhere, at some time, it
slowly occurred to me. Polly had posi-
tively vowed to me confidentially that
she never Intended lo marry.
"Oh, I see,” 1 remarked, as the light
dawned on me; “you always say that.
Just as you say: ‘Charmed to meet you/
wlu n you're Introduced, 'Come again,’
w hen a man leaves the house, or‘Pardon
me,’ when you step on his toes.”
"No-o-o.” said Polly; "you wouldn’t
dare tell a timid man that the pantry
door was locked. He might take > ou lit-
erally, and go away frightened or dis-
couraged. And 1 told you that 1 dldn t
treat them all alike by any means.”
"Well,” L remarked, flipping Marc An-
tony quite unnecessarily, “what did you
do next, as regards Bobby?”
”1 don't remember. Let me see. Let
me see—oh, yes. I believe I pointed out
to him why 1 wouldn't marry, but what a
perfectly charming w ife somebody was
missing; and how entirely ideal mar-
riage between two sympathetic souls
could be made, and how awful it would
be if a man should marry the wrong
girl; and—"
1 leaned over and looked Polly square-
ly in the face. •
“Did you say all these things. Polly
Lee?” 1 demanded.
"Look out!” cried Polly. “That’s the
second time you’ve almost driven into
a snowdrift.”
“Polly Lee.” I repeated, “did you say
all those things?”
"Why, of course not, Silly!" said
Polly, turning pink. "1 only suggested
them. My words were quite—well, he
never would remember the words any-
how. so they don’t count.”
"Well, what does count, anyway?” I
retorted, flipping Marc Antony spite-
fully.
“The looks,” said Polly, “and the tone
and the attitude.”
1 gave Marc Antony the first lash he
ever had.
"What attitude. Miss Lee?" 1 ashed,
in a cold, hard voice.
“The menial attitude,” answered
Polly, without the quiver of an eyelash,
"and the mental atmosphere. Oh. it's
something you can’t explain, but most
girls understand it. It's Just Jibe femi-
nine logic. There isn’t any explanation
and you can't prove it. but it’s true, just
the same.”
"There is.” said I, "Just about five
dollars difference between feminine
logic and masculine logic.”
*“1 don't understand." said Polly.
"I mean." said I. "that there is five
dollars difference between Bobby Pad-
dington's logic ar.d your logic.”
"Please explain," pouted Polly.
“You’re always so intricate!”
“For Instance." I went on, "when
Bobby Paddington bet me five dollars
this morning that he would rarry his
flirtation with you to the point of pro-
posing within 24 hours—’’
"Mr. Heavyfcather!” exclaimed Polly,
sitting up perfectly straight. "You don’t
—mean to say—Bobby Paddington knew
I was engaged to you!”
"Oh. ye*'. I told hint all altout that
only this morning,” 1 replied, nonchal-
antly.
Polly was looking straight ahead of
her with flaming cheeks and snapping
eyes.
"And. as I remarked to you," I went on.
slipping my arm across the back of the
sleigh and glancing sidewise af Polly.
"Polly Paddington would take any sort
of a hedge, ever) if he knew it was a
brick wall."
Polly dicin'! even notice my arm. As
she leaned back into the depths of it
and the Elcigh. with n long breath; there
were tears of mortification in her eyes.
"Then." she said, looking pathetical-
ly up at ine, "he was only flirting—with
nvo—all the—time!’’

kissing the top of the fur cap softly,

i WASHINGTON GOSSIP
about men and events
the NATIONAL CAPITOL.
NO SYMPATHY FOR BURTON
H-a Associates in the Senate Wish He
Would Resign—A Bit of His-
tory—Problems for the
War Secretary.
Washington.—There is no sympathy
atever among Senator Burtons as-
sociates in the
senate for the
plight in which
Senator llurton
he finds himself,
owing to his
taking a retainer
from a concern
which had busi-
ness before the
post office depart-
ment. There is
not a man in the
senate of either
party who does not wish that Burton
would resign and thus relieve what is
rapidly becoming a very embarrassing
situation. At the same time the sen-
ate is not likely to take any steps In
the case until after the courts have
finally passed on the question of Bur-
ton's guilt or innocence.
To expel him from the senate now,
as some would like to do. would be to
prejudge a case which is coming be-
fore the higher courts on appeal, and
the older senators in the body do nor
want to do anything like that. A
good many senators are sore because
Burton in his defense declared that
he had done no more than Ills asso-
ciates and therefore could not prop
erly be blamed.
A little over a year ago Burton
went to one of the oldest and most
highly esteemed republican senatoss
and told him he wanted a piece or ad
vice. He said that a sanitarium in
Kansas had asked him to examine its
literature with a view to determining
whether it was liable to be excluded
from the mails and to prepare liters
ture which would safely escape the
t 'ileal eye of the postal detectives.
He said that he was going to receive
a generous fee for this work, but he
was in doubt about the legality of it
and feared it might be in violation of
Section 1.782 of the Revised Statutes.
The older senator asked him to bring
the Revised Statutes and together
they studied carefully the section in
question. Finally the older senator
said that if Burton had correctly
stated the nature of his employment
by the sanitarium it did not come un
dor the class of work forbidden by
the statute. At the same time he told
Burton that a question of propriety
was involved and that so far aa he
was personally concerned he would
not think of accepting such employ-
ment, however every senator must de-
cide for himself as to the propriety
of his conduct. That was the last
heard of the business until Burton
was indicted, when the old senator
was mildly surprised to have Burton
come up to him in tho chamber one
day and calmly assert that he had
never before heard of Section 1,782
under which he was indicted. He said
nothing about it. but he was anything
but pleased later to learn that in his
testimony at St. Louis Burton had
sworn that he accepted service with
the Rialto company after consultation
with this senator, when as a matter
of fact the Rialto company had never
been mentioned between the two
Taft proves himself most \hluable at
the capitol, although his Judgment car-
ries great weight. It is in the consid-
eration of party policies, iu which tho
president and members of the senate
and house are mutually Interested,
that calls into play hla most valuable
qualities of tactfulness and political
sense. Taft is filling the place left
vacant by Elihu Root in a manner to
command universal approval.
Army General Staff.
The general staff of the army i-
rapldly making it elf obnoxious at the
capitol. The military affairs commit
tees of the senate an.l house resent
what seems to be a growing disposition
on the part of Gen. Chaffee and his
subordinates to control absolutely al'
questions relating to military admlnU
tration. Congress feels that the dis
position of the army Is a matter which
can be properly supervised by congress
with the assistance of a civilian sec-
retary. and it is not exactly clear why
the little group of army oltirers com
prising the general staff should bo the
ultimate court of decision.
Under Secretary Root, to whose abil-
ity and urgency tlie creation of the
general staff Is due. there was less dis
position to control the whole business,
and Gen. Young, in the beginning, at
any rate, was Inclined to recognize the
superior authority of the civilian sec-
retary. When Mr. Root wenl abroad to
serve on the Alaskan boundary com-
mission. however, the general staff be-
gan gradually to absorb the functions
of the secretary of war and to encroach
upon the duties of the civilian admin-
istrator of the department, so that
when Root returned he foun l the sicil
in tlie saddle, lie hud so little time
to serve that he did not undertake to
curb the staff hut left that unwelcome
task for his successor, who, of course
lacked the prestige of having brought
the staff into existence. Secretary Taft
will have a merry time on bis hands
when he fairly gets to work to bring
the staff to a realization of the true ad
of Us relations to the uni

Gen. Ainsworth.
The Record Division.
Brig. Gen. F. C. Ainsworth, chief ot
the record and pension division of the I
war department,
becomes a major
general with the
passage of the act
combining the rec-
ord and peneion di-
vision with the re-
cording bureaus of
the adjutant gen-
eral's office, tho
new division to be
under the control
of Gen. Ain* worth
as military secre-
tary. This Is ntt
extraordinary dis-
tinction for a man who has won his way
to the confidence of successive secre-
taries of war and members of congress
of both parties by an exhibition of ex-
traordinary executive ability.
When Gen. Ainsworth came to the
war department about a dozen years
ago tho records of the department were
in a state of chaos. It took days and
sometimes weeks for the pension olflee,
which was dependent upon the depart-
ment of records In the adjudication of
the claims .to And out Just what was
the record during the war of any given
soldier. Gen. Ainsworth, by the adop-
tion of a system of his own and by
I weeding out the superannuated and
lazy clerks in the department, hao
made it possible to find any given
record within half an hour, and the
extraordinary thing about it Is that
he has vastly increased the efficiency
of the division while actually deeteas
ing the expense.
