"Dkak Miss Kurt it: Two weeks ami, while stopping a n'oht at a hotel in Waitham, 1 overheard what your father aptly called your opinions on love and marrinoe, and they so perfectly accord with my own, I cannot resist the desire to write and tell you so. ' 1 am a bachelor, rather inclined to marry, lint afraid to venture; not because I feel that I am better than the many bright ?rirls 1 know, but ' because I dare not choose for mvsolf. W ith most men of my acquaintance, a month's association with any attrac tive oirl will make him wish to marry her, yet nine-tenths of these men uuikc erase Dlumlcrs iii so choosing'. "For instance.

"Ajjfain, I know an intellectual, sonsitivo woman, who married for no other reason than because ho was fond of her and caino constantly to toll her so a good-natured, good- I for-not hing, awkward, blundering man, whoso ordinary deportment is rasping even to my nerves 1 can searufjly bring myself to sit for a sinndo hour in tho room with him. lie inyarlably says tho things ho ought iH>i?to say, and as invariably omits to' do all he roally ought to do.

' I do not know that I would make aWood husband in any case, but I believe, if I could moot a perfectly congenial woman, whom I could love with all my heart not at first sioht, but after I knew her thoroughly, I mioht find my chief deliifht in male- : ini* her hajipy. "I havo a strong 1 ? 1 icf in the art or reading character, not by hand- ! writing, but by correspondence.

"Therefore, 1 very much desire to' enter into correspondence with you, j for the purpose of becoming thoroug- j ly acquainted with your mind and habit of thought, my object being marriage, if we prove congenial, and mutually agree.
