The ladies are now entering upon their
quadrennial period of opportunity. and
1t is proper that they should be furn-
ished with a brief survey of what the
field contains Doubtless a great many
ladies will clip it and paste it up for
future reference.
Probobly the accompanying list is
not as large as some think it should
be, but it was not meant to be large.
Quality, not quantity, was the key
not followed in its preparation. No
name was put in the list which could.
not be vouched for and highlyereeom-
mended. This is brief survey ef.the
really choice offerings of the field.
Every bachelor you find here has
something specially to commend him.
Here are the hopefuls

E. Y. Andrews is bonanza for any
girl who likes brunette beau. How
could any girl miss chance like
this? Think of how cosy the house
would be after Ed had bouht the fur
niture and arranged it! Ed is said
to hold the Americus record for stand
ing up at weddings, but he is thor
oughly capable of standing up at one
more-next time in the leading role.
Any girl who goes after Ed should be
careful to slip up on the blind side OF
Cupid, however, as Ed is a bit shy OF
the matrimonial moose.
S. A. Pruitt is one of the most
thoroughly likable bachelors to be
found; affectionate disposition and
optimistic. He has a tendency to stay

may mean his downfall later on.

ing for some one to love him; happy
disposition; is so tame he will eat out

a temperamental aversion. He is
fond of cats and should make an ideal
helper in singing the baby to sleep

the 'U-B-D-Flats." Member of the
Fourth Estate and easily and by all
means the dean of the local school of
bachelors. both on account of his
fondness for children and the incal-
culable number of years during which
he has existed without being harpooned
by any female of the species. He is
large and rotund. but has a lovable
disposition that puts to rout the saying
