A LEAP YEAH SUGGESTION.
Mf F THE story of Madamo Maoter-
Muck's strenuous wooing of tho
Bolglau mystic Is acted upon to any
extent, ollglblo bachelors of all class
es will havo to secure somo special
legislation will have to tnko to cy
clono collnrs until tho storm of foin
Jnino dcslro to take the Initiative In
compounding matrlmonry gets a
chnnco to blow over. Should you be
nt all skeptical as to tho fomalo of
tho species being more deadly than
tho mnlo in the matter of wooing,
cnBt your oyes ovor tho following ac
count of tho Mnotorllnck courtship
as rotated by Mndamo Mnotorllnck:
"I camo ncrosH a book of Maurlco
Mnotorllnck nnd I was enraptured.
I rond and re-rend It and then I de
clared, 'Ho Is mlno; ho Is mlnoj my
husband, my lovo; tho only ono I
lmvo ovor known. I hall moot him.
1 shnll lovo him, nnd ho must lovo
mo A pnrty was given nnd I wns
Invited. Thoro I hiiw Mnotorllnck,
I shrlokcd out; I ran wildly townrd
him. Ho was nfrnld of me. Ho feared
me.
" 'My man, my man, you nro mlno,'
I Bald, nnd I took his hand. Ho was
awed, overcome with my audacity nB
ho thought It to bo. Ho wns won
dorful, but so shy, o dlffldont."
" It would bo Interesting to discover
what an ollglblo bachelor who Is not
. a literary man or a symbolist would
do If nn nttractlvo lady rushed up to
him and tagged him In this emphatic
Xnshlon. Tlicro Is no doubt that ho
would bo considerably moro nwed
than was Maurlco Muotorllnclc. For
mndamo admits that nvou tho Belgian
mystic npponrnd somowliat taken
aback by tho ardor of her suit. I
Tho most strenuous of male wooers
has novor been quite ns aggrcsstvo
as thlB. Supposing that an ardent
vnln should moot an authoress nt a
pnrty for tho first time nnd rush up
to her exclaiming, "My lady, my
indy, you nro mine," and then tnko
hor hnnd. If she happened to bo nth
Jotle, tho lady would probably box
tho ardent gentleman's ears. Othor
wlso hIio would call for help nnd
got it.
Butnlns for the lone nnd unprotect
ed bachelor should tho Indies decldo
upon adopting tho plan of winning
a ninto by a frontal attack instead of
by devious ways nnd menus. There
will bo retribution In plenty for tho
t-nvo days, when tho mnlea of tho npo
.cIcb nro said to havo dragged tholr
mmtCR to tholr dwellings by tho hnlr.
All ollglblo bachelors who nro not
prepared to start for tho Sahara
dosort or tho uorth polo on a mo
mont'B notice had bettor select wlvoa

Bolves nro selected In tho Mnotor
liucklan fashion.
story house of five rooms, collar nnd
bath, and It wns built for $1535. Sho
set out strawberries, raspberries and
currants and -10 fruit trees apples,
Bartlett pears, cherries, peaches and
plunls. Pruning nnd fertilizing' tho
original orchard have mndo it bear
better fruit, larger crops and moro
money each year.
Miss Cranston docs not attempt
plowing, harrowing or cultivating
with the horse, but sho docs much of
tho work nnd hor strength grows up
to ench additional exertion. It cost
two summers of experimenting to
find what to spcclnllzo on. Sho has
made her place a hay, fruit nnd
chicken fnrm. From tho first its
products havo paid for all living ex
penses. In 1010 tho credit balance
wns $327. In 1911 tho fruit netted
$102 and half of tho winter apples
nrc held for tho higher prices of this
spring. But poultry pays bettor in
proportion to Its co3t than anything
else.
It Is a romnrknbly helpful experi
ence that Miss Cranston hns narrated.
Smnll farming demands brains, enpi
tnl, persistence nnd pluck, but grit
and gumption will enable other
women to win tho Cranston bcnoflts.
Many men might nlso learn from this
farming Dlotlmn.
Tho slender man Is to be tho
model for 1912. To be considered
well dressed and' well groomed, n man
must gtvo tho impression of slonder
ncss. If he Is not naturally Blonder,
his tailor must adopt measures to
make him appear so. Tho effects
must nil tend to produce slender
ness." Conservatism will bo the watch
word, nccordlng to Chairman M. P.
Walkor.
