kindly explain just exactly what

me how to paint the town red.

much ] am sure, you can't buy the
kind OF love you want with dollars

figure out, this is what you have
been trying to do so far. and ma
turslIy enough you have failed. A
woman such as you would claim
for your wife does not weigh
money or handsome looks i'm the
balance with her love.
You say you need a whole

marry you to reform you. You
are intensely selfish. You expect
something for nothing. Young
man, your ideal woman does not
marry a man to save him. IL he
has not the will-power and deter
mination to come mp to her mark,
she does not take the chance OF
being lowered to his.

guard actions, and that the Turks
after suffering heavy losses, are re-
treating preciprately. The statement
announces the capture of a transCau-
