WMERE MEN REALLY PROPOS11 . H. . in Landon Opinion. Why is it that lroes of 1.ovels in ariably tell the story of their love's young dream" amid most ro ntie surroundings. and. of course, er most romantie circumstances? ust surely be an unwritten law writers of love-stories, that dec ions of la grande passion must -s be aided by a "background" e sort. Ball room eonservato secluded spots up-river, cosy by the sad sea, lonely moor, ruins, upper decks of ocean g liners, and interiors of brough ams. are a few haphazard examples. For instance, the dashing young man of romance, with a name like "Ronald Heatheote,"' the physique of a Hercules, the face of an Adonis, and finished off by a fine pair of clear blue eyes," always trots the lady of his heart (usually named "Vera" or 'Una") into a dimly-lighted con-! servatory, where, surrounded by ex otics, and entranced by the dreamy strains of a waltz (generally Btrauss!), he pours into her "shell like ear" the story of his heart, hopes and happiness. Ah me! how romantic it all is! Of course, what happens in real life is -this: Ronald Heathcote (whose name is really Tom] Parker) is taking his lady-love for a ramble, when a heavy shower of rain drives them into the shelter of a neighboring doorway, next door to a ehemist's, and .there, with nothing but a harmless necessary gingham, he. tells her, apropos of nothing at all, that he thinks they really ought to make a "settled thing of it," and asks her to name vhe day. Or again! It is sweet summer time fin Novel-land. He and she are floating down the stream together -*he steering! He, of course, is a typical short-story Apollo in spotless and faultless Iflannels, with loose limbs, close cropped curling brown hair and all the rest of it! Yes, "Hector tuthbertson" is a hand some, broad-shouldered young fel low, and needless to add, sculls "de aightfully,' 'while' "NestWarringtonI" is a sweet English flower, with sunny eyes and a wealth of red-gold hair. You know the style! They stop for tea'neaththe shade of restful Clieve-.j den woods, and there-amid the soothing silence of the silver stream -in this "murmurous 'haunt of flies on summer eves," as Keats has it,. she makes him the happiest fellow in the world, and he responds as a true hero should. And the command of love language possessed by the pair is remarkable. Ah me! how charming ly it reads! 'But what really hap pened was this: Hector's fair eomw paion was anxious to handle the sulls, and to achieve that object, Hector (otherwise Fred) attempted to change places (mid-stream). Most unfortunately, in doing so he -fell~ into the silvery waters-as so often happens in cases of this sort-and in her agitation, apprehension and dis may, Nesta (!)-I abhould say Ada prematurely called him "Darling!" After such -an opening, and after drying himself, Fred naturally had to say something more, and did so while shivering in a borrowed suit! of fiannels (very tight). Then there is that romanfier can ter across the blaek and lonely moor, aftei- all the usual misunderstandinlgs have been cleared up. The heart of '.Roy Fairfax is beating dangerously fast as the horses' hoofs ring outm the clear, still air, etc. And that beautiful moonlight evening in sweet November-Land when two figures are leaning over the deck rail (close to gether) gazing dreamily at the danc ing waves-how well we know it. But in real life, the lady (who was plain Gertie) was simply feeling poorly on the boat, and Jim, in try ing to comfort her, suddenly realized what a dear clinging little thing she~ was, and so came to the point when! she recovered. But not in Love-Land! language-Oh, dear 'no! We can't~ reel it off like that nowadays. With us, -there is more of the blurt than. the blarney! Bernard Shaw introduces a very humorous incident in o'ne of , his earlier books. He makes a cabinet minister's private secretary propose while walking round Russell square. The heroine tries to help him out, and thle P. S. remarks: '"Wait till this polleemanl has pase! 'Yes. our journalists and nqveclists work );hings splendidly for us in these days, and we-well, we enjoy i all, though we know Romance sel dom. comes to our circle. All is for gie-in the glamor of the novel. I knwa fellow who proposed in the scullery, while the queen of his heart (whose name wasn't "Vera") was attending to the gas store.
