GIRLS' ENGAGEMENT SECRETS

An enterprising newspaper in Vienna asked its women readers to tell how they met their hus-cands.' Some of ihe replies were as follows:

"He made love to my_ best friend, but changed his mind and married me."

"We sat next to each other at a concert, and he read my programme."

"He flirted with me in the street, and was so cheeky that I punished him by. becoming his wife,"

"T was a saleswoman in a tobacco store until he told me that he would die of nicotine poisoning unless I married him."

"He was my lawyer when I divorced my first husband."

"He taught me literature, and afterwards kissing."

"At the skating rink I fell at his feet He said: It should have been the other way round.' And so it was."
