the families the matter was hushed up.
When his father sent him cut of New

have become tired waiting for young men
to propose marriage have formed a club
which they call the Bachelor Maids. The
members are all young and good looking.
They say they have become tired OF the m
difference q the young men. Their chief
grievance seems tn he that the young men
have a habit OF shifting their affections
too often. Ono of the provisions of the
constitution Of the club is that mono OF the
members shall marry before bringing tho
proposition before the others to act upon.
The fitness of the man must be proved AMI
