New York, March 25. A Journal

posal Of the Filipinos. Senior Losanda

were to seek Agoncillo at the office OF
M. r. Jurado, No. % Billtter street.
The correspondent got there first. n
found that Juardo was the official lc-
gal adviser Of the Spanish embassy IN
London. The two Filipino agents en-
tered shortly afterward. They seemed
much at home, and went into an inner
Office. No attempt was male to stop
them by the attendants. They were
surprised on meeting the correspond
ent at Jurado's, and refused to give
any information except to say they
would go to Paris in the afternoon,
where they would meet Agoncillo. At
ter that they might return to the Unit
ed States.

A young woman was recently asked
by a young'man to become his wife.
He was a bright fellow and was accept
ed in general society because of the
wealth and official position of his
father, but his habits were known to
be bad. There were no evasions in
her answer. "You tell me-" she said,
that I possess qualities that you must
have in the woman who is your wife.
I cannot say that I have them-but I
can speak Of habits that I do not have.
and that I could not accept in a hus-
band who did have them. I do not
smoke. I never swear. I do not in
dulge in wine. I am not in debt. Not
a moment of my nights is spent with
questionable associates, and my days
are not given to idleness or to walk
ing the streets with silly, u%nthinking
girls. Most women avoid the indul-
gences I have mentioned, and do not
welcome them in men who ask to be-
come their husbands. As YOU have
them, or most Of them, I am not will
ing to- become your wife. I am sure
nothing but wretchedness could fol-
low from such a union" The answer
was sharp and decisive. It is a pity
all girls under the same circumstances
are not as frank and sensible.
