She had married Roger Edmonds because he was the last of those who proposed before she was too old to flirt. At his death she conceived the original idea of making a living by teaching young women how to get husbands.So she put out a circular in which she agreed for a stipulated fee to tell any girl how to get any man she wanted, the fee to be paid after engagement. This looked fair enough, and a number of young women called at her consultation rooms for advice. Among them was Johanna Ormsby, who stated what she wanted as follows:“I wish to marry Hr. Sam Trusdell. He is a bachelor of thirty-five and a woman hater. I have tried to make myself agreeable to him, and he likesto pass an evening wi That is to say. he never is anything toward me but friendly.”“How long has this been going on? “About a year.”That's bad. If you had but recently made bis acquaintance It would bfe much easier. Such chronic cases need desperate remedies.
