OFFERS TO WED FOR NESTECC
 FOR PARENTS

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24-In order that she may provide comforts for her parents, pretty Anne O'Neill Is ready to wed the first acceptable man who presents himself for a con. sideration of $2,oOO. .... And he will receive my sincere love-" says Miss O'Neill. in a letter to local newspaper, announcing her need. "I am willing to sell my love to give my parents happiness. It is little to do in return for what they have done for me-"
 "I'm an ordinary-looking American girl" she wrote, modestly. q am of Irish descent and was born in Chi cago. am "A years old, feet 6 inches tall and have dark brown bobbed hair, brown eyes; weigh about 145 pounds and am healthy and jolly.
 Have had three years high school education and love a home and chil- dren.
 "It makes no difference to me where the man lives or what his trade is. All I ask is that he be American born, respectable, under 50. l prefer he be as tall or taller than myself.
 q am not lonesome and have friends. I'm not engaged or in love, so feel free to give my love to any American man of good character who could give me $2,000 on our wedding day. My folks are known in and about Los Angeles,
 "When I see them worrying them selves i'll and depriving themselves to keep expenses down I think only of doing the biggest thing I can. If can relieve them by marrying I will be glad"
 For months Miss O'Neill has been trying to lessen the burden of her mother and father, she says, but with little avail The $2,0O0 which she asks on her wedding day would put her parents on their feet again, she declares, and help them to retain a small lot near Los Angeles on which they have built a house.
 Miss O'Neill lives at Eagle Rock, a suburb of Los Angeles.

MEMBERS BRITISH PARLIAMENT KEENlY ANALYZED BY BLIND
 MAN FROM WHAT HE HEARS

want of the quick and not of the dead, do wish he would be more considerate and let the back benchers and others afar off hear what he is saying.
 MT. Bonar Law. in voice and vocal manner, sounds like the incarnation of the spirit of sweet reasonableness and Christian charity. He invariably secures silence when he speaks. Either we must be quiet or we miss the Premier's words, for he does not declaim or shout. His manner is suave as silk, and, in addition to being mild, he has a pretty turn of humor. He shines at question time, but with a mellow, stained-glass-win. dow radiance; and he evidently be. lieves in the maxim (for he consist enly act upon it) that brevity is the soul of wit
 Of his lieutenants on the front bench it may be said with truth that most of them have the valuable quality of being audible at question time. Mr. Ronald MacNeill is most impressive of all, as befits the spokes- man of the Forcing Office in these days of strain and crisis. He has the grand manner, and when he says nnfInn Of a question, or that he will prefer the matter to the noble lord who is his chief you feel that expostulation would be not merely useless, but in decent.
 Barlow Cheerful
 The younger men on the Minister ial benches contrive to convey the idea that nothing pleases them more than to endeavor to the best of their ability to satisfy the curiosity of honorable members in all parts of the House. Sir Montague Barlow, the Minister of Labo, seems to revel in replying to queries. He is invariably merry and bright. Optimism chirrups in his every tone.
 The methods of speech of MT. As quith and Mr. Lloyd George are quite, different. The Asquithian style clean cut ,incisive, staccato-is a model of logic and diction. And though he no longer dominates the House by reason of his Premiership, MT Lloyd George ca nstill cast over it the spell of his oratory.
 One of the most attractive speak CTS in the House is Sir John Simon. If I were asked to choose a word to describe his speaking I think l should select debonair. If ever l were in the unhappy position of being tried for my life, with Sir John Simon leading for the prosecution, I should have little hope of escaping the gallows. but I could not harbor any resentment
