day disturbed, weak, and in con-
troll Of the bears. Murders, sui
cides, shootings, together with
the publication of photos and
facts concerning lady and gentle
men affinities has made the mar
ket nervous and unsteady.
Reports from outside of New
York indicate that the affinity
industry is approaching the sat
uration point. Male affinities
tied up with hysterical lady af-
tinities are worrying over the
possibility of events that will
lead to the publication of their
letters and facts concerning the
amount of money they have
spent, promises made, etc.
Lady affinities regard the
situation nervously, but with
hope. All the publicity now be-

their male sweeties to hasten
the DAY OF possible marriages.
Real estate operators report
that there has been a large fall
ing off in the purchase and
rental of love nests.
There was considerable scurry-

f1nity letter writer's to get their
letters back, and the price of
boob letters advanced sharply, to
