LEAP YEAR,
UNWRITTEN LAW OF WOMEN'S PRIVILEGES.
In the year of grace 1924 women have the time-honoured privilege of proposing marriage; for it is Leap Year, and that is a tradition which belong, exclusively to the gentler sex, and which mere men must submit themselves to-whether for better
or worse.

The present day bachelor may not agree with the sociologist what has laid down this proposition, but he will have any rate to hear in mind during 1921 that he is liable to be asked by his lady-love to
marry her! That is one of the unwritten laws of England.
Leap Year, as everybody knows, comra every fourth year. The general rule is that a year has 385 days, the exception to that rule is that every fourth year, that is, every year whose number is divisible by four without a remainder has 306 days. The additional day

A ST. PATRICK LEGEND.
The legend is that it was St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who bestowed upon weman the matrimonial privilege which she is entitled to exercise every four years. And this is how it came about." Walking one day on the shore of Lough Seagh, in the province of Ebster, after having driven the frogs out of the bogs. St. Patrick was accepted by a woman woeping destined one day to be known na St. Bridget.
In a pathetic mood St Patrick, no tradition says, inquired of the woman why she was in tears, and the reply she gave that a mutiny had broken cut because FA

St. Patrick gravely considered the ques- tion he does not seem to have received a deputation of the recalcitrant maidens- Pand decided that the right to propose marriage should revert to the feminine sex every seventh year.
This did not satisfy his interlocutor, who urged St. Patrick to extend the privilege to every fourth year. The Saint.
