JILTED AT A GLANCE
SHE LOOKED AT HIM, THEN BANGED THE DOOR Carrying a little tin box, a middleaged man walked Into Blackpool Xorth police station recently and stated romance was dead. Two years ago, he said, he advertised in a daily newspaper that he was anxious to meet a lady with a view to matrimony. Three women answered; two he turned down! but the letter of the third so impressed him that they had kept up a correspondence ever since. This week she wrote asking him if he would go to Blackpool, and they would “fix it up.” On Thursday he arrived with his little tin box and. knocked at the door of the woman's house. The woman answered his knock, gave him one fleeting glance, and banged the door in his face. He was left alone and destitute in Blackpool. The sympathetic police listened to his story, gave him a meal, and later he set oil on his return journey to Surrey, his fare being paid by the police.
