Here's the Kind Of a Wife a New
 York Business Man Wants

New York. Nov. 1.-Too busy to play the role of suitor himself, a New York business man and inven- tor has commissioned a friend to find Tim a wife. If the friend succeeds before Christmas in discovering a girl quirements he will receive $1,O00. And if he has not succeeded at that time, then any person may earn the $1,OOO by producing a suitable bride.
 The man is Albert F. Shore, treas urer and director of the Shorte Man ufacturing company, 557 West Twen- ty-second street. He is thirty-fOur years old, of German descent and a native of New York. He is of me- dium height, dark complexion and dark curly hair. He has an engaging smile and he's bashful And, girls, he is said to be quite wealthy.
 The girl must be about twenty-four years old, in good health and have a fair education. She may be either blonde or brunette, though the latter will have a preference in tn efinals: she may be buxon or petite, and it doesn't matter if she hasn't a cent.
 Butterflies Not Wanted.
 But here is the catch: She must be of a temperament that will match MT. Shores, which means that she must be studious and thoughtful Social Butterflies need not apply.
 The friend, at present the only mid dleman, is George A. Hoffman, of 135 Broadway.
 A reporter who talked with MT. Shore yesterday found plenty of evil dence of the inventors stud1ous, thoughtful temperament. His office was full of books of engineers re- ports and scientific instruments, and MT. Shore himself frequently inter- rupted his discussion of girls and to tell of his scientific pursuits and theories. Just at pres ent he Is much interested in @ new branch of physiology; he believes that sleep can b. controlled-that artlf1- cial sleep can be produced to meet the demands of jaded twentieth cen- tury civilization.
 Do you think a wife would help YOU in your scientific research work the reporter asked.
 T have always thought a sympa- hetic and congenial wife would great ly inspire a thinking man in his life work" he declared. If man is lucky enough to find mate who can and will take an active interest in his work she can and will become a po- tential factor in the development or his latent qualities"
 Has MT. Holman been able to do for your"
 Mir. Shore smiled his engaging smile.
 "Well-no," he said. "Not along my requirements. I have looked for girls myself. I used to attend dances and I belonged to clubs, but you don't discover girls you want to marry at dances"
 His Ideal Type of Girl.
 "Just what sort of girl do you want MT shore?" he was asked.
 "WeH'-again MT. Shore smiled his engaging smile and hesitated.
 "A studious, thoughtful girl?" it was suggested.
 That's it, that's it," he said What was going to say wouldn't sound so we'll in print You see, if a man has anything in him, if he's a think er he doesn't want a girl who has social ambitions. It might be all right for three or four years, but he will get tired of it if he is a thinker.
 "A man in my position should se- lect a mate whose mental traits are as similar as possible, and the more sfmilarities she possesses along other lines the better. The only exception I would make is in the matter of age. I believe that a wife should be much younger than her husband. I my case, I should say, ten years younger"
 Although MT. Shore is a thinker and requires a thinker for a wife, he does not demand a college graduate.
 'I do not regard a college educa- ton absolutely essential, although is always precious, and the better the education the more pre- cious it is.'
 Mr. Shore is in the hands of his friend Hoffman.
 "Still," he said, Eff I should get a letter that looked promising I would answer it.
