THE LONELY SIX" HIT BACK
II the Editor Of Tie cts:a1o Tribune:
CHcAGo, Sept. z3.-I: may h2ve surprised
many Of Jour readers that We. ''Tho Lonely
Six have kept silent under the constant attacks
that we're pouring in from all sides. Tho reason
is, simply, VIC Eere waiting fo7 an intelligent
critic to try and convince us that our views ara
wrong. Instead of thia, most Of your corre-
spondeots, tho female portion in particular,
have delighted to denounce Us witt coarse
ma:ignity which wo21d do credit to tho hon.
Fitch OF E&1ston maas-meeting no.oTie.Y. In
stead Of considering tho reasons We stated. that
compelled us to plead Tor marriage portion,
Instead Of trying to enlighten and show US whore
re aro Nr5nr, they content themselves with de-
crying rs. Is though we we're hyena8 in human
shape; that VIC Nero inbued WitL nothing but d
grasp for money that wa were too Lazy to work;
that NO might request cur fathar-ln-lAw
to manage our business ae it would be too much
exertion Tor us !; and, while one man was Chris
tiaa enough, instead Of condeu71iDg us, to call
upon his God to pity these miserable. for'orn,
and wretched pieces OF humanity, several OF the
ladies wished that US might neSer have an op-
portrnit: to embark In matcimouy.
While VIC regret that our endeavo1B to reform
the marriage question or to day has been so ter-
ribly misconstrred, il he's, on tho other band,
afforded us great pleasure to notice the vide
sErea1 attention re 1ecelved All those who
mourn fer ua Oh account Of our advanced v1oEs
worrv themselves unnecessarily. Our heaEts arc
aa tender es that OF any Of "Ch1cago's fair
dsuehtezs' Our eensibillties for pure and
undivided love has consequently attained = high
stste Of perfection, but We do not allow our
hearts to run away with our brains, and do not
Judge marriage only by the few very happy
unions, but BY the majority Of cases that come
to our observation.
The letter Of a. One Of Chicago's Daughters ~
is one calculated to capture the heartt OF al
Young fools at once, ana some have already ex-
pressed their desire to form her acquaintance.
Why !? Because she statod her father WAS very
wealthy. They will perhaps tell us, "No-it ls
because OF her good qual'hcstlone as mouse
Keeper, an economist, worker" Idle talk II
hho had said her lather YVES poor laboring man,
these sudden aspi1ant8 for her acquaintance
would not have t.Een any notice OF her 70
theee eoft-hearted, love-insplred benevolent,
and phliauthropic young Inen who turned their
face in disgust when they read our first COM
1naulcatlol, who boast OF certain degree OF
eallaatry, By asserting they would marry poor
girl If they could ind one they could IoVe. no

small xn amount Of money they had accumulat~

diplomacy and welI-calculatod letter OF "0ne Of
Chicago's Daughters, " to thase mon we would
say: lou cannot all marry thus one girl. but IL
you will bring your actiouB in conformity with
your pretcnglons, look into THE SUNDAY TRIBUNE
advertising columns and you viii find number
less advertisements OF young ladies' claiming to
be respectable, experienced in cooking and
housekeeping, and having good fetereoces, look
ing for situations. With the same cheek with
which YOU ask the privilege to make the acqua'nt-
auce of '.Chicagos Deng ghter" you ceo maue
the acquaintance Of tia other girl. Their pro-
tensions are both allie: beth do housewotk, both
receive about the same ~aBcs- and both undoubk-
ed,y are ready to marry providing the right one
appears. Yet they differ ia one point. The
father OF IS 'Ch;csso's Daughter is rich and lets
ner go to Long Branch and Saratoga; the father
of the other girl ia poor, Aod perhaps the 81 she
poor girl would, IN our opinion, make much
better wife than the rich one for she does not
condemn Ill young men IN one sweep, like
>. Chicagos Daughter Rhe wonld recognize
and esteem her husband as her equal, while the
other, with an uubecoming pride, and in her
imaginary superiority. would conslder her hus-
band merely tho best fop among all fops.

absurd would marty '' Chca3os Daughtar,"
