CONTRASTS THE BEST MATES
Quiet Men Should Wed VIVacIous
Women, an English Opinion,
Expressed in Print.

Does the average man prefer the
iemure, coy kind of girl or the
bright and vivacious girl-in all proba-
blity a fiirt-and which kind Of a
Erl makes the better wife?" This is
he question on which a modern girl
asks opinion through London news
alCar.
10 have read In your paper many
opinions on the modern girl given by
young men," she writes, but l have
not found an answer to the question
which countless other girls besides
myself would like answered.
1T seems to me that the average
man marries the coy, quiet girl, but
after a few years Of married life is
apt to seek the society of the viva
cious girl, very often at the expense of
bis Wife's happiness"
Here are some opinions Of London
people:
Rev. c. H. Grundy, vicar of st.
Peters, Brockley, believes In the at
traction of the opposite.
Il think the quiet man generally
narries, and generally should marry,
the vivacious GIRL" he says, "and the
bright, Vivacious man, on the con-
rary prefers and gets on better with
bis opposite.
Some Of the quietest men I have
hown," he said, thoroughly enjoy
the ViVaciousness of their wives.
Men like contrasts. You don't
want replica of yourself. You want
variety. A wife who is your double
doubles your dullness.
The best wife is the contrast wife,
and if you are both alike your home is
Gull and monotonous."

1000 SETTLERS A DAY
WESTERN CANADA MAKING RE.
MARKABLE PROGRESS.

Settlers from the United Kingdom

In Winnipeg last week at the rate OF

The sturdy nations of Europe are
all contributing to the rapid growth

contingents reaching Winnipeg last
week were from Germany and Scan

The British Isles are sending out
larger contingents than ever before.

READY FOR WALKING TESTS
Tennis and Morning Hikes Used to
Keep Officers in Trim at
Newport.

The walking tests for physical
conditions" have become a regular
feature of the army and navy life
says the New York Herald's Newport
correspondent. There are few places
near governmental stations where
both scenery and local conditions are
more ideal for these tests than New.
port. The ocean drive is the route
most frequented by the officers, for
there they not only have the exact dis.
lance of ten miles now prescribed, but
also that exhilaration that comes with
the bracing air Of the sea.
The tests Of today are not so dras.
tic as they were even two years ago,
when an officer had the option of
walking fifty miles during three con
secutive days, riding horseback ninety
miles in the same time or covering a
distance of 100 miles in three consecu-
time days on bicycle.
1t is also the duty of the command
ing officer to see the preliminary ex-
ercise is provided, and lawn tennis is
the prevailing method at Newport.
Some Of the tennis players in the
navy have become so expert that they
have been asked to enter some of the
tennis tournaments on the courts of
the Newport casino and the Miane-
tuck Tennis club, one of Newport S
many social organizations devoted to
outdoor sports.
In providing for the preliminary ex-
ercise two new tennis courts have
been added to the Torpedo station.
Lieutenant Commander Rufus q.
Johnston is one of the most expert of
the navy's tennis players here, and
Surgeon William D. Owens and Lieut..
Frederick v. McNair are close behind
him.
Preparations for the test walks are
made with great care. In knapsacks
are frequently carried various Access
saries for the first aid to injured or
blistered feet. Some of the executive
officers are frequently so busy that
they cannot find time for the pre-
liminary practice and rather than de-
vote a subsequent three days to nurs-
ing of bothersome extremities, they
coat their feet with vaseline, put on
two pairs of wooden socks, their heav-
lest boots and then hike it.

Many Biblical scholars place the
Garden of Eden between the Euphrates

English engineers have already in

in the district will be a severe blow
to NGely's expectations. For nearly
forty years Senator Golf has been the
idol of West Virginia Republtcanlsnl
and the magnetism Of his appeal Is
as potent TO-DAY as 1t was in those
memorable campaigns previous to
1883 when the celebrated Harrison
countian fired the breasts of First
district voters as they were never
fired before nor have been since.
Senator Golf opens in Wheeling to-
night and Ohio county Republicans
have completed arrangements tt
give him a reception such as has
never beene Qualled in West Virgin
la politics. The greatest crowd ever
to attend a political rally in Wheel
ing is expected to greet him with
every nook and corner of the entire
district represented. On Friday the
distinguished Clarksburger appears
at Fairmont. Saturday afternoon he
will be in Weston and Saturday
night he winds up at C~larEsburs'
Memorable ovations are being plan
ned for him on every appearance,
Senator Hearne will probably accom-"
pany him on the trip.
With the campaign now coming
rapidly to a close the fighting will
be fast and furious from now on. The
Republicans are still on the aggres-
sive, a sign always indicative Of
strength and confidence. This Is
evidenced by the fact that enthusl'
astic district rallies are being held
every night in nearly every county.
The Democrats are becoming des-
peratc. Ten days ago they were SC
cock-sure Of carting off the election
without a struggle that they consid-
cred it hardly worth while to get out
and make a fight. During the past
