He nays "If he should marry he would want to stay at the ad, where Clod lias placed man." I feel sorry for this bach fr'un the bottom of my heart, for he "thinks" yet; and If he Is ever able to "think" he will never accuse Hod of such a blunder In regard to the human family, as "placing man at tbe head." Have you not studied tbe animal kingdom? Which Is superior there, male or female? Cannot you see that the male alwnys respects the wishes of the female, among the lower animals? Man Is the only animal who breaks the natural laws and who abuses and maltreats the female of his species. And the reason is that he, through his brule force, has placed himself at the "bead." Ood has never placed him there. No, dear Imch (who still clings to the 17th century Ideas), an Intelligent 20th century woman needs no head but her own.

She wouldn't have a man of your calibre even for the foot of the family. A BACHKMSR MAID. NEXT SPRING IDEtfS SHOWN IN THIS MIDWINTER COSTUME.
