‘ in lawyer has been made the presi

The letter was received here re

his letter that money Is secondary
with him, and the woman he seeks
is his wife must not only he refined,
but must be able to assume control
f a palatial home, which the bache
or now occupies in Boston.
In contrast to this letter Is one re
ceived by Mrs. Stull from a lonesome
bachelor in Alaska. This man would
have a mate who loves the outdoors
and the "great open spaces." He
promises her, his letter states, scenery
more beautiful than that painted by
the greatest artists and excitement
more enjoyable than the bright lights
jf Gotham’s gay Broadway.
The club's founder apd president
lias made this work her hobby and
answers all her mail personally. She
never promises her correspondents
she will find them mates, but does
agree to try to do so.
She has received ns many ns 800
letters from all parts of the coun
try In one" month. She weeds out
the frivolous and answers the others;
for, she says, "If.I can make two pen
pie happy, then I have done a great
good.”
