The reasons for the apparent change In the program are unknown an present
 The Dutch newspapers are begin ming to protest against the secrecy with which the government enfolds the en- tire Venezuelan situation and ask Tor details of the report made by M. de- Reus. the former Minister to Venezuela and the correspondence that has passed between the government and the mem bers of President Castros cabinet.

George Thompson retired from ser

foot $4,000 miles in 26 years of letter
carrying. a service IA years shorter
than that of his Lincolnshire rival. In

MAN THAT WOMEN LIKE BEST.
Writer Asserts That There Can Be NO
Special Brand. .

In the Imagination of every woman
q creature exists whom she fancies
would be unto her god II she met
him; in the Imagination OF every
man there is a woman like nopooy
on earth. In heaven above, or In the
waters under the earth. But no
woman ever shows favor to any par
ticular type of man. If woman really
liked this or that specimen OF mascu-
line humanity above all others, should
we ever see the. strangely assorted
marriages that we do? Individually
all women have their ideals. but speak
ing generally, there is NO special
brand of man that can be said to ap-
peal to woman. 1t is sheer nonsense
to say definitely that athletes, or
courtiers. or tame cats, or dreamers
are respectively most pleasing 70
women. But even If 1t could be said
with authority this or that kind OF
man is what every woman likes, Is II
to be supposed for moment that
every male creature would proceed 10
model himself on the approved pat
tern? 1t would be a great pity II such
q state of things could be brought
about. Women do not want stereo-
typed mold for each Of the sexes. and
women would lose grand opportunities
for laughter If all our men were gal
liant, well-mannered, strong and mas
terful. or were amiable domestic pets.
To be able to poke fun at this or that
type is part of the joke Of life-to .
