that any sensible girl would have been fiattered by some of the pro posals of marriage that ] have had from Germans and Austrians. l know that my money attracted them more than myself. They never got to a proposal without making some mention of my dot.
 Now, l am determined to have an American for my husband or none at all. l am sure that my mother could never object to a proposal in marriage from Young Vincent Astor.
 have not sent you a photograph Of myself because my mother would be angry if she found it out. Here is a short word picture Of myself: l am above the average in height, slender. but have good shoulders. My hair is furnished gold and my eyes are a grayish blue. Though have regular features, 1 think my nose is the best feature. IL is per. fectly shaped and strong, showing character and determination. have a pretty soprano voice and play the piano. know three languages, Ital ian, French and German, and l am well versed in art. So you see that l am fairly accomplished girl. As ever, EDITH V. This One is AItruistic Dear Mir AstoT: l suppose yOu 1 think it is daring of a young girl who is working in a shoe factory and earning the modest salary ot s15 a week to offer herself in mar riage to a man with good looks, family position. and a large fortune.
 have no inducements to offer. for I am not handsome nor especially fascinating I should never have the courage to write you this letter, but I am so anxious to help others and I know that with your fortune and executive ability we could do so much to help the hundreds of girls and boys who have so little chance in life 10 whom the smallest assist ance means a great deal.
 Though l have a high school edu. cation, l chose a factory in prefer ence tO working in a store because found the salary a great deal bet ter. I have been spending three nights a week teaching in a large settlement situated on the west side of our city. My pupils are mostly Germans and Russians. The girls range from sixteen to twenty-two, and you have small idea of how they hunger for knowledge.
 There is so much good work to be done in the world and the pity is so few are anxious to help. But a courageous heart needs material support I know you would feel just as I do about these matters if yol had worked and lived under similar conditions. A young man with your fortune has endless possibilities for dolng good. As ever. B. J.
 This One Wants the Job.
 Dear Mir. Astor: Maybe it will ap- pear rather bold of. me to address you in the capacity of a "would-be" Mrs. Astor. But Longfeliow says boldness in excess is better than A lack of it. And I guess he had the right idea all right. for it has been my experience that anything you want you have to go after.
 And l want the job" of Mrs. Yin cent Astor
 l believe that honesty is always the best policy. Therefore. I won't tell you that I don't love you for your money. for if it has not been Tor. your money never would have heard of you-and, incidentally. you never would have heard of me. Now l fell sufficiently qualified for The job l am good looking and am convinced with the beauty doe tors aid and. costly, becoming. wear ;ng apparel could be developed in- to a paragon of loveliness.
 l possess boise and charm and suf- iicient self-eonfidence to carry me through any embarrassing situation the newly acquired wealth might cause me
 With perfect confidence that vour Keen diseernment will see in me your He companion, I am. sincerely.
 JUDITH.
