To Whom?

Tout Paris buzzed with an astounding rumor, a rumor that after 64 years of bachelorhood Premier Briand of France had become engaged. . . .

To battalions of pressmen he declared with a twinkle, "A young girl would not take me and I would not take an old one. Whom could I marry? ..."

Quoth a pressman: "That is just what we came to ask you, M. Briand." Smiling, the Premier replied : "Eh bien, I shall be explicit. I am not engaged."
