ASK HAND

BEAUTY
Lady of Lyons" Ad Brings
DeIuge of Letters From All
States in Union.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Fairer
than France herself is the daugh-
ter of France, Mile. Yvonne Pin
geon, and she desires an American
husband. At the present rate of
application she will have her choice
among several thousand suitors.
Mile. Yvonne came to the at
tention of our bachelors through
letter recently sent by her mother
to a new York publicist. Out of
the envelope dropped two picture
postcards, examination of which
made it easy to believe that the
handwriting on the margin con-
veyed the truth. 1t said that
Yvonne Pingeon had, with $4,000
votes, won the prize for beauty
of the city of Lyons, under the
name of Micheline Bermon, in the
great contest of the Journal de
Paris And the mother wrote in
French:
''She wishes to find an Amer
lcan husband who is a real gen.
tleman. Her dowry is very small
for America, but the French are
too dictatoria1 and self-interested.
She is rich in virtues and quail
ties and we'll knows how to hold
her pace III lHC WOLu All WhN|A
her father and myself move. She
also is a very good housewife.
Being unable to go to America,
she asks me to communicate with
you, monsieur, who are very good
and in a position to know every
body"
Under the circumstances, amia-
BILE compliance with the mothers
request seemed to demand pub
licity in this country. So an
enlargement of one of the post
card pictures of the. demoiselle
was published in several big city
newspapers on February 3.
The result was extraordinary.
Letters have been coming in at
about 500 daily.
Here's a sample picked at ram
dom from the hundreds. 1t is
from a young man in Ohio, who
incloses a photograph of himself
