| wishes to present TO the lonely maidens
Of New York seventy-two perfectly good
proposals az marriage which she cannot
make use Of. The pOstman OF Passiac,
where Miss Dalrymple lives. began stag
gering under the weight Of Dalrymple
mail the very first day after It was pub
Iicly announced she had won out over
500 other competitors. The letters Of
love came from all over the world and in
many instances pictures were sent also.
Miss DaIrymple says she feels immense

The exodus from the codAtry homes
has begun. Thousands are pouring into
New York and opening their residences
in town-also there are many who are
through with summering away from the
city. The weather in New York City the
past summer has been a summer resort
variety. There were only two or three
uncomfortably warm days. A prominent
real estate operator said the other day:
TT Is getting more difficult every year to
induce people to leave their town houses
for the country. The weather Is re-
sponsible I believe that In few years
more you will see most OF Fifth Avenue
remaining in the city after they return
from their annual jaunt abroad People
who are living in the country now are
living there all the year round"
