In a light-hearted moment a New Plymouth girl recently answered a matrimonial advertisement by a farmer of 45, who had told the world that as he was embarking on a long tour he desired marriage with a brunette (preferably pretty). The result of the advertisement was unexpected to the girl, at any rate. The suitor arrived from a northern town, put up at one of the best hotels in the town and magnanimously offered to give the girl a fortnigh to decide whether she would marry him or not. But the girl, hastily repenting her action, settled the matter by refusing, and the suitor wandered on in his search of the preferably pretty brunette as a life partner.
