About forty years ago a rich and
handsome young woman, moved by 9
spirit OF bravado, answered a "per-
sonal" advertisement in city newspa
per, and entered into a correspond
snce with a clever adventurer. She
was soon duped into marrying him ant
mortgaging her property. Securing
the money, the man deserted his wife
and obtained divorce. The woman
broken-hearted and enfeebled in mind
lived for years on the charity Of
friends, and was recently taken to E
Connecticut poorhouse to end her days
Happily, innocent indiscretion does MOI
Invariably terminate in such tragedy
A girl escapes, perhaps, with only q
flush upon her cheek and a scar upor
her soul. She has learned by bitter
experience, however, that no true gen.
tleman seeks a woman's friendship
through an advertisement, and that tc
enter into such an arrangement is tt
