Sadie Hawkins Day

I have just been reminded that 29th February in America is "Sadie Hawkins Day". Sadie was on the shelf so her father challenged all the local unmarried men to a race and after giving them a start Sadie would run after them and whoever she caught would be her husband. During the war my friend, Marion, was despairingly between boyfriends so she said she was going to declare a "Marion White Day". It must have worked because I went to her wedding!
