Dear Miss Grey: I am 18 years old. There is nothing I can think of that I would like more than a pretty, comfortable home and children, but I don’t want a husband. That is a terrible thing for one to say who is so young. But I have seen too much of married life and men. Ever since I can remember there has never been a peaceful mo- ment in our home.

Talk about old-fash- joned girlie! It would certainly be a treat to meet a gentleman; but we don't have them now. I absolutely detest all men. I think If they should accidentally find one gentleman in this old world they would do us a favor by putting him in & museum so we could see what they are like.
