Don't get excited so far ahead, Not one girl in a thousand these days gets a chance to pick and choose—that’s only done in fillums. Of course the real issue involved ts: Shall the girl marry a plodding and devoted admirer, or shall she wed a brilliant but cynical metropolitan? We still insist on making the farmer a dumbbell and the townsman a whiz, ; tho the modern successful farmer averages considerably more as to brains and efficiency than the average city man. Well then, shall she marry the dumbbell with devotion, or the brave flashing blade with a roving eye? Sfall she marry a fellow who will make a good proyider and go to sleep with his feet in the oven at 8:30, or shall she marry the dashing lad who slicks his hair straight back to the peak Sf his dome, and who may love and honor but who certainly will not obey. As it was in the beginning so it shall be. Seme women will choose one type, some the other. Most will marry according to the dictates. of circumstances and make the best of it, or the worst of it, as the pair’s mutual natures may determine. What sort of a wife would a man prefer? The beautiful, charming soul-of-the-party belle, or the quiet, efficient, thetic housewifey girl? Some take one, some the r, and about as many belles make successful wives as do patient Marys. I know what I like. You, Miss Sixteen, probably will ‘know what you like when the time comes, and be sure you ’t give a darn if the time comes whether HE is from tall uncut with a scent of the clover and sour milk in hair, or just out of a Turkish bath, the odor of syn- but half effaced. This marrying thing is a natural process that refuses to die out, no matter how we strive to abort it, and just ‘about so many of each sex will fall each week in town country. But remember this. If you are a town girl you are likely to wait quite a spell for the rustic swain to come at your casement. He usually picks a nice husky bor’s girl who has 40 acres in her own name.
