Dear Pres. Hodgman:
The Manchester Glee Club rendered a
splendid evening of song here last night.
They had fine audience, and 1 believe
it will prove quite an ad for the college.
Every one speaks in the highest Of
praise. I am,
Yours very truly,
l.. w. GADE.
With every number encored at least
twice and some for triple offerings the
program rendered last evening by the
Manchester College Glee Club proved
most attractive. The Club is well BAL
anced and the numbers selected were tf
sufficient variety to afford proper inter-
est. The singing of Mr.. Guthrie, the
director of the Club, and the piano solo
of Mr.. Lindgren were especially deserv-
ing of mention. The closing number in
which number of songs were given by
the Club was effectively staged.-St.

not appear anxious or concerned
not at all. she must just-wait."
But women are not alone in their
opinion that they should have, or at
least equally share, mans privilege
of proposing. There are men who
believe that this right should be &C.
corded to women at all times and
thoroughly agree with the advice Of
FIR. Timothy M. Crowley Of New Lon
don, Ct, who gave in one Of his re-
cent sermons the following advice to
the young, unmarried women Of his
congregation:
Girls, this is your golden oppor-
tunity. 1t is leap year. There are
altogether too few weddings in this
parish. All you have to, do is to pro-
pose to the man Of your choice, make
a trip to the town clerks Office, get
a license, and I'll do the rest"
In further support Of the proposl-
ton that women should propose a
mere" man expresses the following
sentiment:
1T is high time that all matrl'
monal 'slaclers' should be brought
into camp and drafted into the ranks
of married men. This is leap year
and any girl who wants to marry
certain man will be well within hel
rights If she tells him so, and de
mands that he go before the preacher
with her and be married.
; Women DO Propose.

natural lot in life. They hold bacl
