Bachelor Maids Willing to
Share Lonely Mems Homes
Flood of Letters Follow Request of Your Chance and

Love and Comradeship. st

Letters! Letters!-and more let
tiers! All from girls who wish to
meet Your Chance" and the
"Homebuilder," the two lonely bach
elors who asked the Metropolitan
Page editor to help them find the
only girl" =. ~ 3. !
Fortunate, indeed, are these two
bachelors, who have homes to offer,
for almost every bachelor maid who
writes expresses real longing for a
home, and genuine sympathy for any

husband to love us" writes another
bachelor maid. II do not object to
farm work, and I take pride in my
dress"
Il am good housekeeper. can
bake bread, and have been helping
my father plow," writes a third girl,
who wishes to meet "Your Chance"
Yet her dainty handwriting bears no
evidence of work in the fields, and
her English is good. She explains
that she is writing to "Your Chance"
rather than to the "Homebuilder,"
simply because he is farmer and
she is farm girl. She even devotes
