AMONG THE
BACHELORS

DHVIlELUAO
There never has been such a de
mand for bachelors as at the present
time and if you are intending to gel
one you might as well attend to II
before they become any scarcer thar
they are. 1t is not unusual to re-
cieve notice that certain thing Il
scarce or that the price has gone ur
on account of the war in Europe and
| If bachelors go up on account OF
the war you will know it is an alb.
solutely good reason. Experience
shows that when anything starts to
advance it may go clear out of sight
befoIe it stops and it is useless to
hesitate and keep thinking of how
cheap it was last month; it is this
month that confronts us and next
months price is the thing to be
afraid Of; therefore If the bachelor
market holds firm, our advice is to
get in and take one off the market
as soon as possible. After he is mar
ried he wont be bachelor any long
er and when you find out what a
prize he is the estimate of value will
go up again. Bachelors, like sound
horses, are in big demand to FILL the
gaps" in the armies of Europe, and
America is bound to be affected
thru sympathy. In fact 1t has been
said that if the war ends tomorrow
the exodus of bachelors to Europe
might be phenomenal just on account
of sympathy; sympathy for those who
who neglected to get married before
the war or who might wish to marry
again. 1t seems almost harsh to
mention, but we are bound to give
you the best information we can af-
fecting the bachelor market of today
and the prospects for tomorrow.
Girls are not aggressive and that
is right; but having that disposition
they have trouble in proposing. One
girl started getting ready for leap
year in 1913 and the matter has just
come to light. She lived in Ulster
county, New York, and her papa was
selling eggs. She wrote her name
and address on an egg and put it
in the case, just for fun, of course,
and that case of eggs was placed in
cold storage until just recently OF
course, it came out perfectly fresh
or she would not have heard from
it the way she did. Two weeks ago
last Monday she received a letter
from young fellow named Layton,
at Creighton, Michigan, in which he
talked of marriage if she were still
single. OF course, he wrote just for
fun too, but he might become serious
before he quits. He says he is |
and has money in the
bank. She thought it was a pretty |
good joke, rather rare as an event, |
and mentioned to to the reporter for
the local paper, The Kingston Free
man, and in that way we got it for
you.
Gossip Close at Home
Speaking of reporters, we have
reporter for you, girls, and he isn't
so far away nor so shy that you
would have to reach him thru cold
stored eggs. He is a brunette, wears
glasses and when he smiles he shows
4 good set of teeth with a. little gold
in them. If you want to identify him
you can provoke smile and look
Tor the gold filings. Or look to see
4 he has a pencil and note book
ready for use. You will see him
wherever there is anything doing and
when there is a train due at the
lepot he will be there operating the
pencil. A pencil and note book are
sufficient introduction for reporter
md what he wants to know Is who
you are and where you are going;
whether you are married or not, he
wants that much information and

PAPER you will know he has been con-
erring with somebody to get 1t, and
