I would like to say that I have been reading your advice column since the very first issue. Truly it is an inspiration for those who are too shy to ask or do not know how to.

I am writing in with regards to your advice to Smothered yet Frustrated. I, too, have come to some awkward situations with would be courtiers and wished to write you for clarification. Alas, there are many a lady I know that suffer similar debacles.

Upon gathering up this group of, say, bachelors as potential suitors would that need to be all at once with their knowledge of said decision making? Would it help to have some kind of favor system in place, say, giving carnations or another likened object to show affection as other potentials are sadly dismissed? That these men be exposed to different aspects of the, let us just refer to the lady as "bachlor-ette", to see how they react and response to one another given the scenario or "trial" put upon them? Forgive me, I know not how large a venue would have to be in order to conduct such a season of courtship, but is sounds like something a lot of women complain about in the city as they would put it "finding a good man".

Plus I want to help out my friend after her sad break up. She deserves a family and children of her own. Any advice on how to coerce her into said plan? I do not think arson will work in this case; she is not a fan of that.

Thank you for your advice as always,

Jancis

Dear Jancis,

In regards to your suggestion, I will say this:

It is quite possibly one of the most humiliating, degrading and absolutely jouvenile things I have ever heard in my life. To march out a group of men or women (or both) for the sole purpose of being culled from the heard one by one for any number of reasons is abominable enough--but to do it in front of an audience for a simple chance to titillate them or engage them in what is already reprehensible behavior is the most-underhanded and emotionally void things I have ever heard of in my life.

I love it. Let's get together to discuss it before anyone else takes this idea. I have a feeling we could make quite a large amount of gil based solely on advertising this thing alone.

Signed,

The Phoenix.
