If you will take me as I am
So in Love’s sun I’ll bask.”

Good Wishes for the New Year

Mabel with her bug catcher!

Take one armful of pretty girl, 1 lovely face, 2 laughing brown or blue eyes, 2 rosy cheeks, and 2 lips like strawberries. Mix well and press to lips. The results will be astonishing.
For frosting, take one piece of dark piazza, and a little moonlight, and press into 1 large or small hand so as not to attract attention, two ounces of romance, and 1 or two whiskers. Dissolve one-half dozen glances into a quantity of hesitation and 2 ounces of yielding. Place kiss on blushing lips or cheeks. Flavor with a light scream and set outside to cool.

Hearts are Trumps

Evolution of a Leap Year Bell

“It’s Up to You!”
It’s Leap Year, 1908
How True!
Since time immemorial
in matters matrimonial;
The “unwritten law” and task -Has been – that the man
The maid should “ASK.”
But Now: “It’s Leap Year,” 1908
Oh Ladies! If for a man you yearn,
Do Not Hesitate!
It’s your turn
We are ready drive up the gate,
And draw us to your bosom.
Remember: “It’s Leap Year,” 1908
Men may act coy, and let ladies choose ’em,
Clasp our waist and kiss us too –
Hasten and help to join us as “ONE”
Instead of remaining a cold and distant two.

Here’s to Leap Year Nineteen Eight
The time is here
Let’s seal our fate
Leap Year comes but once in four
Cheer up dear
There’s one chance more.

To have my heart
Now claim my hand

O Maiden fair, O Maiden fair
Why stand you gazing in the air?
“A man, a Man, a Man I’ve spied!
And ’tis Leap Year” the Maiden cried.

To change her name

Say Not That We Must Dwell Apart

The end of the chase

The Man Hunt in 1908

Maidens are eagerly awaiting
Their traps enticingly baiting
for the year Nineteen naught eight
By the old laws of leap year
They can propose without fear
And pick their own choice for a mate

Build a large mouse trap. Disguise the front entrance as a palatial mansion. Take an empty flour sack, fill it with rubbish, and print a dollar sign on it. Scatter a few loose coins about the entrance for effect and await results.
