50 long as a certain young man in New
York remains unfettered by the binding
ties Of matrimony no young woman-that
is. counting all women young who have
not reached 4O-has reason for complaint
at the stringency Of manageable men. The
Bee has Just received very confidential
letter from a man in Saugerties, Ulster
county. n. Y, who submits one Of the
fairest marriage propositions imaginable
II seems to lack but one element so often
desired by women in this frivolous age of
style and avarice, an age when selfish COM
mercialism dominates so many of the mat
rimonial contracts. But while having
neither gold nor silver nor proud title to lay
at the feet OF the queen who would as
cend the throne Of his affections, this enter
prising New Yorker appears to offer every
thing else. Indeed, he seems 50 willing to
please that some men might be cynical
enough to say he was taking a long chance
by one proposal he makes. namely, that he
will agree to unite at nights and tie in the
morning the shoes of the woman who will
be his goddess Now. there is a rarity
which probably could never be picked up
outside of the state of New York. But
that is not all. The ambitious man will
abandon all his own personal ideas and be-
liefs and adopt those Of the woman who
will accept his proffered hand, II that be
her wish-anything to make a match.
Proposition That Tempts.
Here is what he says on the subject:
SAUGERTIEs, Ulster County, n Y, 49,
'05 evidently in dating his letter the eighth
month Mr.. Blanks anxiety has got the bet
ter Of him, for It is only July out here in

below Lsa,% in your paper / will send you a
your approval. Respt. yours, F. ]. C.
The writer did not wait for his letter to
meet anyones approval, but kindly sent
the photo with his communication. This is
his appeal to Cupid:
Here is a chance for some maid widow
or spinster to get married If the lady who
answers same is under 40 years old and is
in fair financial circumstances. | will sign
agreement with her that will carry the
below into effect to protect her, that / will
never touch any intoxicating liquors, will
turn to whatever religion she may be and
attend church each Sunday with her; will
install in and around our home and its
surroundings all the improvements that
genius can solve, will take of and put on
her shoes each morning and night, will be
attentive to her, will keep good hours, will
be man for home comforts. 1 am a man

stances. and refer as to standing of

photograph of myself, and If you can kindly
return same to me after you are through

Looks Like Most Men.
Mr.. Blank sends photo with his letter
to The Bee and from it he appears to look
a good deal like any ordinary man, albeit
II he has correctly recalled his age-2S-he
ought to have a reckoning with his pho
tographer. He has frank, open counte-
nance-as might easily be supposed-wears
mustache and eye glasses, has prominent
features, combs his hair neatly and appears
very WELL though not fastidiously dressed.
In behalf of Mr.. Blank his name, which
he signs to his letter. is withheld, at least
for the present, since 1t might not be fair
to place all women under 40 on an equal
footing in this race for the hand of this
