labor on his part. What want to

and women to regard marriage

most brilliant girls received a tele-
phone call few days ago, and,
not knowing who the party was,
asked her to marry him. She re-
piled at once and said, yes, who is
it?' This is only one instance in a
hundred and l think there should
be something done about this kind
of courtship"
