By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. What sort of wife do you want? What sort of husband do you want? Those are the two questions which I am asking every young man and woman who reads The Evening World. each of you hae a pretty definite idea of the sort of individual with whom you might spend happily three hundred and sixty-five days every year. If you are sensible, you do not set your heart upon a perfect hue band, or a perfect wife; should there ever be such an individual he or she would be a perfect bore, But any person who has thought about the matter at all realizes that there are certain traits, certain attributes, which he or she must find In a mate, if there is to be real nmamai.. happiness in the union. “The man I marry,” @ young woman whom I know very well confided to me, “muet ‘be eix feet tall with the shoulders of the Praxitelean Hermes.
