The Leap Year Question,
Tho recent discussion of the question:
"Should Woman Propose ?° has received a
now fillip from the recollection that the
year 18112 is ono of those quadrennial periods
during whioh n =envoi tradition assigns to
the modulo) sex the privilege of taking rho
initativo. More tersely itis leap year ; and
while the privileges of that season hove been
heretofore confined to leap year parties and
sleigh rides, the reformer) seem to think
that the tradition would afford agon(1 start.
ing for rho radical change of permitting the
love -stricken maidon to declare her passion
to the man of her heart and We Inn the

The arguments so fat have 0 rattler mon-
otonous sameness. Ono side holds 0.p the

of an opponent of tho 10101m; and us its
real 8lgnificauce is that Belinda May 11,00w
herself by looks and hints, though not in

There aro still other considerations which
should not bo overlooked in the discussion
of this vital topic, The paper from which

idea that this is an argument against the

the adoption of that extreme resort in the
example of heroines w•h0 have used it when
other and (31o1'e 0an103411ti0(1a1 courses were
inadequate. The case of Priscilla Alden is
n good precedent ; while in more modern

A Pull Fledged Life.
Speaking of a friend recently, n women
said .l have often wondered how oho
kept her youthful loops and her fl'eelmess
of spirit. She has known more anxiety and
trouble tdnan fall to the lot of (13001 people,
and yet few. under the most favourable
conditions, retain vivete ty and mental frosh•
nos0 0.a she has, I asked. her one day for
ler secret, mud she answered, ' I never let

mud re -arrange it, if neoessarv, to secure
the smallest pleasure that 10111 not MI('r-
icro with i4 duty, and I try to avoid mai: ian1
the mistake of putting the fluty first if it
would answer lush as well to put it 000ond
in importance. Indeed, I am tet at all
sure that pressen itself is not often a most
imperative duty,"'
That woman had solved tho secret of suc-
contrtt1 living. Her pleasure did not mean
8orial 04ea1iet18 only. it meant books, pic-
tures, musk), all that in her range of sym-
pathies gave nor pleasure and 1111018tered f0
her intellectual and spiritual life.
Women se often make a fetich of fluty ;
they 11100 the spirit ot martyrtlotn. To

this feeling that makes them often deny

Pleasure is as legitimate es prayer ; it has
in its place as groat a fun11fol in life ; it is
in fns way as n000sao'y to true growth and
development. 1 t is aunty to command time

A rounded lifo is one that 11)10 felt the
rightful play of every emotion ; not 0830 flat

Before oolery fs timid on the table it is a

fire is 1etl'ly out, and (11y thoroughly. 'then

thus pro'e"tlug ns. from oonlpotieg with

The paper further says, " Our Fishermen

0111s'have so arranged rho business that
they got the herring 0,1 e0 per cent, loss
