The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-02-17

what's the matter with the girls OF
Fargo? Are they asleep or are they
satisfied? Here nearly two months OF
the n year in four have passed and
old bachelors. and sprightly widowers
are as thick as mosquitoes in the mid
Ole OF summer. Girls, T you timid or
have o all turned suffragette and
mean forever to tread the wine press
of life alone? Leap year, the one time
when every bachelor or four-year
widower should be forced to keep on
the leap to keep from acquiring a fire.
side all his own, is upon us-yea, fast
slipping by-and you are sitting idle,
listening not to opportunities knockl
Literally running over are the clubs
and hotels Of Fargo. Full to over
flowing are they with eligible would be
husbands who would long since have
been yoked were it not for that great
timidity which holds US all back at
times. These good fellows, bachelors,
widowerS and Soon-to-be bachelors
just %sprouting their first little tincy
wincy moustaches, are waiting, ever
waiting. They a you-they need
you-won't you hearken to their call?
There is certainly no doubt about
woman's right to propose during this
year. 1t is confirmed by the custom of
centuries. We have it explicitly stated
in Courtship, Love and Marriage,
published in 1906, the full text Of
which statement appears in a box
above.

books of Scotland as early as 1888.
This, also. is boxed.
A few a later a similar law was
passed in France and approved by his
most chirtian majesty, and followed
by the granting of a like privilege TO
the maidens of Genoa and Florence
long before Columbus made his mem
orable voyage.
Our courts nave been held in innum-
cradle cases "a. W that common laws
hold in the United States, and there
is no evidence that this has ever been
repealed.
1t certainly cannot be said that the
girls of Fargo haven't opportunity by
the bushels, even barrels. Who would
want a better husband than can be
manufactured out of a travelling sales
man.? In this grade of raw material
comes also the city salesman and even
the likely-looking office help. They all
stand more Or less in the effulgence
of the commercial traveller and many
absorb his good traits. What girl has
not once in her life seer herself the
wife of a drummer What more
could she desire, and where or how
could she do better?
AS to kind, we have 'em in all sizes
and shades-full and complete line in
every respect-and only ask that you
look them over, Big bachelors, little
bachelors, fat bachelors, skinny bach
elors; tall, low, chunky, long-haired
and bald headed bachelors; rich, poor
and well-fxed; dignified, Jovial, mirth-
full, sad and sadder yet. For those
cringing souls who ask only for a
chance to love and obey we have
the broad-shouldered, he~avy-footed
kind who will always give them all
they are looking for in the way of
serving. For those who do not wish
to take a boy to raise but want men
of experience, we offer a choice line
of old widowers who, though slightly
shelf worn, are good for many years
of work and wear. Some of these are
as good as new but will go at greatly
reduced prices.
But the bachelors are best of all, |
as for years they have been banking
their fragrance and are only waiting
sip the honey from their nectar-laden
