SIMPLE LIFE LURE.
PROPOSALS OF MARRIAGE*
Eiglithy would-be husbands who wished to lead a " simple life " in England's most cosmopolitan communal colony at Stornngton, near Worthing, havo been foilod because tho woman they offered to marry is already a wifo.

But Miss Pragnell, who founded tho colony, has a husband, Mr. Edward DonisEarle, an R.A. silver medallist, and a young and hearty heir as well. " One letter was in Russian and another in Greek," said Mrs. Earle.

Ihe idea is no less fascinating, judging by the letters, to the Finnish, Scandinavian, and other Northern European inhabitanta.3
