AFTER REJECTING THE ADMIRER
Girls svho doclia, ' .offers of marriage are apfc to cub the f-oposcr afterwards; not so much because- of any real dislike for him, as the feeling that_ somehow they hayo slighted him hy their refusal. This only makes the situation _ more uncomfortable, inducing the rejected one into the belief that his presence is distasteful, which ia not always the ease. A girl should treat a rejected suitor as a friend, and never hy word or deed refer to his proposal. But to resent him entirely—unless there are serious reasons for such pointed behaviour is, to say the least, unmannerly. Rather should ho be treated with consideration, and if this is done in a tactful way it will mitigate tho hitter fooling of disappointment.
