would not think of giving up their

like tho type of the bachelor girl

her manners and consequently moro

And l don't see any reason why the

YOUNG MANS SUGGESTION TO
DISCOURAGED GIRLS.

Here Is the young mans letter:
Dear Madam: | tell you frankly
II ! We're young girl-that Is,
reasonable, intelligent young
woman in good positlon-I would
rather do something else than to
give up a good Job for the doubt
full Joy of getting married to a
young fellow with the average in
come OF SIS or SIS week. II may
be all right in story books-what
they say about love at first sight
and the making OF nice little
home for oneself-but when 1t
comes to real living in the little
hole. doing all the Homework with
out any assistance or to wear the
same dress the whole year round.
it looks rather like foolish idea.
Young girls have more freedom
IN this country and are in better
positions and better paid than in
any country in the world, but l
don't know any other country
where the young girls are so crazy
about getting married as in the
United States. And l don't see any
special reason for 1t, because l con-
slider the conditions for a bachelor
girl in this country much better
than In others.
II a girl Is reasonable and wise
she don't need to be very pretty
and attractive because those girls
are very seldom reconsideration
she keeps her eyes open to find a
good fellow who respects her. in
whom she can, have the greatest
confidence and to whom she might,
go In Joy or sorrow, always GER
tain that he would understand her
and be willing to help her when she
was in trouble. In other words.

1t will be interesting to hear what
the New York girl has to say to the
suggestion that she divide the dinner
check and by that process make her-
self immune from the suggestion or
any other return.
am afraid she will not greet the
reform as enthusiastically as 1t per-
