Mrs. Julian Heath Tells Bridgeporters of Their
 Advantages

Mrs. Heath was the speak CT of the afternoon before the mem- bers of the Connecticut Chapter Daughters of Founders and Patriots vention here all day She talked with 8 group of newspaper representatives just before the luncheon.
 tsI found the prices of meat in some of your markets much lower than in New York, z she said regarding the price of meat And another tnlng that was glad to see here was that your flour is sold in strong paper bags rather than in the insanitary cloth sacks which are still used in New York and Philadelphia
 The coming of Mrs. Heath to this city is of unusual interest as she is a former Bridgeport girl, having attend ed Barnum school and later the High school for a year and a. half before moving to New York where she has lived ever since.

 The hopes, the wishes-f1ung away
 There are some girls whom it is diff flcult to bring to a realization of the fact that it is best for a man to make the first move on loves checkerboard. Modest naidens have been, and al- ways will be, tirnid, clinging to that old-fAshioned, but always sweetiy TO- mantle belief, that the right heart-
 mate is sure to single them out soon or late from the rest of the world of wo- men, and straightway begin a siege upon their heart
 This girIish day dream is a valuable arnnor for awakened hearts, keeping them innocent and pure.
 There is another class Of young wo- men who rebel against the old the ories and defy custom by refusing to await man s leisure in beginning the love quest and lose no opportunities in casting about for suitable mate If a new acquaintance drops a chance word that she has narriageable sim gle brother, the love chaser does not stand upon ceremony in her endeavOr to make a bosom friend of the sister without delay. If some one casually mentions that this doctor or that law yer is heart whole and fancy free, she adroitly inyeigIes her gollty old father to change his doctor. for at least one or two trials.
 The unsuspecting head of the house never irnagines for a moment that there is a motive back when his daughter insists that he must settle some trifling matter by consulting the aforementioned young lawyer to con firm or dispute the Judgment of the parental opinion. Fathers suspicion is not aroused even when his pretty daughter insists on acconpanying him, donnif1e her Sunday-gO- to-meetiIlE clothes for the visit
 The love chaser inveigIes all her ac- qlIaintances into introducing her to a folks of her family miserable by eager sly cycling the good looking men whom they salute in passing, and naEging for an introduction
 Such girls rarely make good Men do not like to behold the evidence oI time they meet her. They do not rel ish being pressed for a promise to call soon upon her in the first sentence or so that falls from her lips after they have been introduceds Every man knows full well when he is being an gled for, and, with the perverseness Of mankind, will evade the baited trap at any cost He concludes. seeing her so anxious to make an impression on him. that she is unable to awaken any other mans heart whom she may have met No matter how bashfu1 the man, he resents allowing a woman to do the wooing for him
 It brings g. warm glow to the heart Of even the most worldly Of men to be able to bring blush of sweet girIish confusion because Of his presence to the fact of a sweet, bashful maiden.
 A man does not want woman to teach him loves subtle art: he feels confident that he knows quite as much about the game as she does, probably much more. in fact. A man may laugh and enjoy with amusement the society |of the love chaser for little while,

 The value Of the services rendered by the circles called essociety.'s is the subject of many differences Of opinion Undoubtedly society people do a very large amount of philanthropic work. But there is a disposition among the men of these circles to shunt these tasks off on the wonaen. When a man acquires a million dollars one would think he could we'll spare from making some time for phflanthropic causes.
 Some of them do. But the great majority think they can serve the hu- man race by proxy.
