oVERSTEPPING THE BOUNDS.

THOUGHIFUL men are not prone to deny to
women all reasonable rights, but when repre-
sentatives of the genter overstep the bounds
the necessity for wooing them back is apparent and
not to be shirked Let it be done kindly and rather
by reasoning than resort to the police.
There is unwritten law which grants to women
the privilege of using hatpn as weapon of ofense

quenty done so, the risk that for the nonce
her hat will not remain straight, and nobody ever
heard OF her being punished for it. The hatpin in
the hands of indignant beauty is suggestive correc-

MARRIAGE BUREAU FRAUD.

I JHILE it is impossible to up acute
M sympathy for the victim of marriage bureau,
still the fraud is so mean and so adroitly
worked, catching its victims among people whose
worse fault is ignorance of the world that to send
the perpetrators to the pententiary would be only
mild justice
handsome woman can do much toward befool-
ing a man unused to the society of women of any
class If she set out to run confidence game she
will do it artstically. She has shame con-
science She can tell and act lie without qualm
blush When she processes to love who has
answered her advertisement, leans her virgin cheek
upon his shoulder modesty suggests the propriety
of his buying ring to seal the sacred compact, she
simply has him. In nine out of ten he
does not want to get away, and in the other he sell
dom succeeds until he has been worked for his last
dollar. He buys gold brick and does not get
the brick At the last he is kicked and trap set
for new Joys If he make his ex-
perience he is rewarded with rdcue, and this is the
reason the nearous business is so safe To prosecute
rogue in pettcoats when to do SO is confession to
having been played as a dupe, requires courage. 1t
is good thing for the community that an effort is
at last being made to rid it of some of the matrimonial
parasites.
The back county bachelor might as we'll take
warning. The rich and beautiful widow who ad-
vertises for a husband is nothing but cheeky and
avarcious liar. If she what she processes be
she would have offers of marriage so fast she would
have to keep secretary. Rich and beautiful widows
do not go begging. They never proclaim themselves
in print as bargains. They recognized as such,
and the supply never equals the demand.
