Now comes forth the picture of the Bachelor of Liberal, and he doesn't look so fierce, after all bis forcible remarks. He looks to me like the kind of a man that would take pretty good care of a woman, and I think w hen some sweet girl persuadeB him to give up being a hachelor he will wait on her and love her to her heart's content. Perhaps he doesn't altogether mean all he has said, but observation in a few cases may have made him cynical as regaids the new woman. Modern women may have faults which the women of pant genera tions did not have, but they are so infi nitely superior to modern men that to criticise them is in a man most unjusti fiable. Perhaps I am a little cynical, too, but not so much so but a good man or woman commands my dcepebt re spect. Kl'MTUX. May 29. Dover. (Orowtfe 1 out of last issue.)
