THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. TUESDAY,
JANUARY 11,
HE WON'T PROPOSE... EH?
Well, this is what to do about
him.”
Second section of American best-seller "How to win a Husband-and keep Anne Hirst wrote it. The Telegraph is serialising it cach day this week on Page 10.
O he won't propose? He's committed himself so far as saying you're marvellous. He's even ad-
admitted you loved him too.
But nothing came of it; he didn't follow up with "Will you marry me?" as you expected he would.
Several months have passed. They've been thrilling months so far as you're concerned. But they don't Impress anybody else.
Your family for instance, is becoming conscious of the fact that you're out with Bob almost exclusively; that you've dropped all your other men friends; that you've taken to dreaming in the late afternoon sitting in the window-sent or before the fre; that you've lost interest in everything that Bob doesn't figure in; that you're ill at ease, sleeping badly, losing your appetite and generally, behaving like the dog who's lost his master. Bad for your Pride
TOR Bob hasn't yet said the words that make you sure of him. Your pride burns with mortification when your family mention his name you've used all the excuses that you think they'li to saying you're not accept (even sure you really, think he's the one for you) and you're so humiliated you can't be natural.
You
know Bob

that is not enough. You able to acknowledge that fact, flaunt it, before all your little world. How can you make him propose? Sometimes It's a dependent mother the actual offer of prevents
who
marriage.
Too often it is sheer negligence, or cowardice, or a satisfaction with things as they are. And why in- deed shouldn't Bob be satisfied with things as they are?
hc
He knows the door of your home is always open to him; he knows he has your welcome and your love; he likes to spend his spare evenings with you, at your hone or elix- where; und, subconsciously, doesn't want to relinquish is ing dependence, the freedom that neit talk about far more than girls do. Wants to be Free
FOR he has
pregnated
the idea, i- by
men his friends, that unce he is married he is sunk-sunk inside of those four walls that are his new home, alone with you. While that idea to him is inviting, he fears it will belittle of his friends, him in the minds who'll declare he's married now and no longer available for poker par- ties, etc.
So Bob does nothing about it. He continuen to enjoy your family's hospitality, keeping you away from dat with other men (which, even if you don't desire them, have their value) und generally taking every- thing and giving nothing but the assurance of his love, which you know you have anyway.
Try This

HERE'S one piece of advice for you: The next time he calls tell him you have another date. If he's got in the habit coming without calling you first, the next time he arrives, come down the
stairs wearing a new evening frock. Assume a gay air, and say something like:→→
"Oh, I'm going to the theatre, Ing me first next time." And dis- as suddenly-even if it's appear

Don't make dales ahead of time with the man you want to marry; just say, "I'm sorry, you'll have to call me on Friday. I may have another date,"
Give him a Shock
SOM

They must face the possibility of to learn how Josing her in order much she means to them, even after they have declared their love.

It sounds simple, doesn't it? it isn't, always.
Keep your Head
But
IT isn't hard to analyse the
man you're in love with,
if you'll only keep your head,
When you're out with him, study him as though he were a butterfly on a pin. Give him the advantage and the compliment of your most serious attention--which he should
be giving you but isn't. Know his reactions to your certain moods, and decide whether you love them or hate them. (You can do both.)
What is most important, study_his faults rather than his virtues. De- ckie within
