Lean Year Advice.

Here "a the sage counsel which

ty-is quoted as Offering TO all bach

Propose to the man of your choice.
but look up his rating first
Short and to the point. By the re-
course to Bradstreets It Ia argued
that women may avoid the unhappi-
ness frequently resulting from penni-
less marriages. Good!-as far as It
goes. But what eminent counselor
OF the other sex will now stand
forth to aid his trembling bachelor
brethren. Such an one might well
advise:
Accept the woman who proposes to
you II you like her. but first look up
her rating in the domestic arts.
One prerequisite Is as fair as the
other. For the woman: Do not
marry for money, but love where
money Is. For the man: Do not
marry to provide yourself with a
cook, but whilo marrying you might
as well marry some one who can
make out of the place you live in a
home. Something more than a lib
eral income is required to produce
comfortable circumstances" for two.
