In attempting TO live up to the character
given him by the young women debaters
II was decided that he was Intelligent
handsome. modest, interesting. ambitious,
discreet; that he had n manly form,
classic face. good teeth, heavenly eyes. a
winning smile and small and shapely
hands and feet; that he was polite. kind
truthful and honest; that he did not wear
a Panama hat. that he did not shy" at
ice cream saloons, and that he alone OF
all the bachelors In Bayside was worthy
the confidence and encouragement OF Its
marriageable young women.

Dayton Is the only one OF the young men

came out a winner by lengths. I'm sure
Mr. Dayton ought to feel proud Of having
so unanimously proved the choice OF all
the girls. And we Bayside girls are aw-
fully particular, too. That Is why so
few Bayside young ladies and Bayside
young men keep company.
Some of our girls were talking about
the debate today, and we all wondered "
the Young men OF Bayside held debate
with single blessedness as the topic
whether there would be so unanimous
choice OF the ideal girl
I'VE aren't going to have any further
public debates. because, since we selected
'Jimmy' Dayton, there has been such
coolness on the part OF the other young
men But I am sure that Bayside Is not
the only place where men OF Mr.. Dayton's
STAMP reside. And as far as the Bayslde
