ECG3 ARC CUPIC’O MESSENGERS. Western Girls Write Names on 'Em and Invita Correspondence. Perhaps the queerest way of ad vertising for matrimonial purposes Is that of placing names and addresses cn eggs. During each year there are upwards of 6CO.POO cases of eggs re ceived In ‘Denver from Kansas, Ne braska, Oklahoma. Texas and Colo rado points, and it Is safe to say that 26,COO names and addresses of women and men with matrimonial Intentions are found In the cases. Kansas bolds the record for having the most eligible*. Hardly a case of egg • received from Kansas but has from one to a dozen names of young, women desirous of corresponding With tratrimnutel intenth-aw. The system Is widely known to men In the produce business and to mountaineers. Young women In the rural districts write Ibeir name and address on the egg. They request the finder to write them. Tho eggs are received in Denver, packed and shipped to tho grocery. In which way the eggs pass through duxons of dif ferent hands. As noon as an egg bearing a name la found many take it upon themselves to answer. Those who are out for fun can get all they want and many of the com mission men make considerable sport cf It. One fellow answered a young wernan at Berthoud, Col. The man who did the writing Is about 6 feet 2 inches WII and weighs about 120 pouuds. lie Is to years old, but this Ls tho way he described blmself: "I am 23 yeaf* old, weigh 145 pounds, 6 feet ttn Inches in height, dark brown hnir. black eyes. I r.m single ahd never wur: a mustache. I have two | suits of clothing and a trunk large 1 enough to hold a dozen." The answer came by return mall. Tht* Is fho way the girl described herself: "I am 17 years old. weigh ins pounds, 5 feet tall, light hair and blue eyes." 8hp expressed her self ns being glad to have made his acquaintance. Several letters passed between them, when the commission man got curious to know who It was that wre.o m address for her. He asked her in one of hie letters, and she frankly told him that U was her father.
