with truly manly qualities who is not Intern
perate MOI q gambler. She says that she
does not write from lack OF opportunities,
but solely because she loves the Western
country.
This is written on q large sheet Of ruled
paper:
Have been reading the comment In, to-
days PAPER regarding the Gray Ball u
1t has occurred to me that possibly among
its many members may find a fit companion
for life.
Doubtless many OF these gentlemen
are possessed Of great wealth. This fact
alone would not tempt me TO write you
on such q sacred subject l have heard
much concerning the wild ard woly west
while ! know that Automobiles don't run
up trees and telegraph poles ! do believe
mary of these gentlemen would be q better
husband than the average fashionaoly
dressed man Of New York.

A clever little widow" Of Tuxedo Park
wants u man who does not use liquor or
intoxicating drinks and who would ape

York that the city is a bowling wilderness
so far as men are concerned.
"A woman who wants a man for a husband
can't find them here" she expliins.
Looks don't count; most of us would be

wants a broad minded man who doesn't

A girl from the upper West Side prefaces
her letter with this apology: 1T is not
usual for me to seek a husband In this mans
ner."
With n photograph which is certainly a
strong recommendation comes this letter:
As I am willing to marry If I can get the
right man. take the liberty OF wri'ingto you
| want a man. a real man in every sense Of
tie word. who ia strong, healthy, sober
and honest, one who loves and respects
women and would shoot a man for insulting

who could not do a mean little trick and
who loves every living thing from a big
horse to a tiny flower.
