our mission here. We may some
times fall short, but we always
try to toe the mark When you
understand this, kind reader, we
hope you will overlook our short
comings and give us an opport-
unity to do better in the future.
We have a store of information
relative to old bachelors, young
bachelors and manageable men
of Lancaster which will be pub
lished at no distant date for gen
eral benefit Of the spinsters and
young ladies of this vicinity who
are des1rous of taking advantage
of their leap year privileges and
relinquish their lives of single
blessedness. But before doing
this we believe it our duty to give
the bachelors and manageable
young men few pointers and put
them on their guard. The average
young man does not appreciate
how much of his future happiness
depends on the turn or curve of
one small feminine nose With a
deep faith in the smile of her lips
and the flash of her eyes, and a
casual glance at the possibilities
of her figure he takes the plunge
from the cozy comforts Of his
bachelor fiat into the maelstrom
of matrimony-from the quiet
waters of independence and
latchkey into the doubtful whirl of
home cooking and one-third of his
own chiffonier. Now before you
accept any proposals OF marriage
take the following into considera-
ton:
A single glance at the bridge Of a
dainty aquiline or the tip of tiny
pug nose may warn you against a
lifetime of domestic squabbles.
Adelina may have the eyes of a
saint and the voice of a siren, but
if she is girl with narrow nose
that shows long curve from base
to lip beware of her. When she
and you are made one she will be
the one AT, nineteen the curve
on the bridge of her nose may be
ever SO slight; there maybe no sug
gestion Of hump N the center of
the delicate feature; the pointed
tip may be softened into the lines
of youth. But at Twenty-Five the
storms Of matrimony, the argu-
ment with the butcher and the
worries over the grocer's bill will
have worn that tip to sharpness you
could not have dreamed of; the
hump will have become stern re-
atty, and you will have discovered
what it is to pay the rent of a
house and yet have no rights in it.
Wherever she is, the girl with the
curved nose must be the manageress.
If you are a weak and tender
creature, in need of back bone,
she is just what you want; but if
you desire tender, clinging little
vine, who will stand by you while
you steer the matrimonial ship,
do not choose the girl with the
curving nose. She not only must but
will have her hand on the rudder.
The girl with the broad, flat
nose, on the other hand, with the
profile that is not profile, but a
smudge, is an ideal clinging vine.
Hers is the disposition that you
can walk all over with your muddy
boots and still find sweet and sunny
Here is the heart that will beat
true time, no matter what tune
you ,may play upon it. From the
time when she shares all her
pickles and candy with the other
girls at school to the time when she
gets up on cold winter mornings
to make the fire for her husband
the girl with the broad nose is used
to obliterating herself as her nose
is obliterated. She is as broad
minded as she is broad nosed. She
will humor all a mans faults and
weaknesses, will hand him his pipe
with a smile and invite him to smoke
all over the house, play poker with
him in the evenings, instead of
reading him lecture on the curse
of cards, and sit up until 2 o'clock
in the'morning to make him cup
of coffee when he comes in rather
the worse for wear.
A COMFORTABLE BAMBOOZLER.
The girl with the piquant profile,
the little retrousse nose that looks
so cunning and tractable, is perhaps
the greatest surprise in the matri-
moniql lottery. She is 50 dainty
and doll-like that the great, big
