WHAT MEN ADMIRE IN WOMEN.
Many and varied and contradictory aro the answers that men give regarding the qualifications that would mako women desirable as wives. From out of the West (says an American paper) comes the story of nearly five hundred proposals of marriage, received from all parts of the country by Mrs. Anna Rowe.: ,Not one of these eager proposers was concerned as to whether the lady's education was limited to the three R's, or whether she was entitled to write a string of collegc abbreviations after her name. Not one even asked whether she was a good cook. Sufficient it was for wifehood that she held a place in line for the drawing of government land at the Foil du Lac Reservation soon to be opened. It had been published that Mrs. Rowe was unmarried. Alas, for the nearly five hundred disappointed and broken-hearted wooers, Sirs. Rowe is holding the-place in line for her husband!
