"PERSONAL,'

A New York correspondent of the St..
Louis Globe has lately made some rich
and racy developments in the domain of
advertising. Inserting in New York
paper personal requesting CORES
pondence Of ladies under forty with a
view to matrimony, he received something
less than bushel OF replies, which he had

boarder might have easy access to the
lady private apartments; a third

mailer. who enticed the correspondent to
a secluded seat in gallery Of art, and
was there confronted by the lady's re-

and Infringement, and was finally in
duced to desist by timely show of a sew
en- shooter. This illustrates the class of
people who ''do matrimony'' by adver-
Using, and also that the practice, though
growing, is an exceedingly dangerous
| one.
