Editor's Note: This is the second of a series of four articles on the modern young woman, her philosophy and future prospects. By MAURICE MERRYFIELD International Illustrated News Writer NEW YORK — Modern young women seek huebands who will be dependable and faithful in preference to all other qualities. With few exceptions, a score and more of unattached debs, coeds and business girls who were interviewed stressed reliability und sincerity as the prime requisite in selecting a mate. Another talent esteemed l>y the fair sex is a man’s capacity for kindness and consideration. "Life guards arc nice in their way, but so are Great Danes." said one feminine modern, byway of illustration. "But give me the lad witli understanding and sympathy. It's the little tilings that count." Business success rated above such other considerations as intellect, culture, social talents, good looks or physical attraction. "Any man who is a success in his business or profession has enough of the other qualities: tiie main tiling is to eat and pay the tent these days,” said one practical femme. Various questions were asked those interviewed about their ideas of men and marriage. Women Prefer Older Men Would you marry a divorced mail? Most of them hesitated at this and, all but one were against the idea if he had children. Would you marry a man 10 or 15 years older? Most of them expressed a preference for older men. Are ya;t ever disturbed by the

thought that you may not meet the right man? This query brought an interesting and varied response. Most of the feminine hearts .still fluttered hopefully. Several admitted, however, rather sadly, that they had concluded marriage was less a. romantic affair, at least for them, than a union of two people witli common interests. “I had my big moment,” said a personable Chicago stenographer. "The thing didn’t come off, somehow. but 1 feel now that I'm past the age when a.ny man will sweep me off my feet. Ot course. I want to get married. I’m not worried about dying an old maid, but I think when 1 say ‘yes' it won't leave me all brathless.” In fact, this opinion—that marriage, when it came, would be less a tempestuous a.ffair than a rather ; practical compact between two people interested in eacli other—was held by most of those ques- i tioned. | “It isn’t as if a gal wouldn’t : thrill to a chap wilt, brought or-1 chids instead of showing his bank account, but that isn't tiie way j things are,” declared a young i woman employed as research chemist in a New York laboratory. I “My work brings me largely into : contact with doctors. None of them think a woman can be a auc-: cessful physician, and when they marry they usually pick someone that doesn’t know a test tube from a Bunsen burner.” "Men Are So Conceited!” Several of tiie girls admitted , that they didn’t get much kick out of their casual dating. Their biggest complaint was against a situation which made it so difficult for them to meet new and inter esting men.

When asked their principal criticism of the young men of today, enough information was gathered for a most damning indictment. Tlte chief fault of the male of the species, one gathered, was his impossible conceit. One young lady, deik in a Cleveland department stare, who had apparently done extensive research on the subject, was quite voluble. “Every fellow thinks a girl wants to marry him after he has favored her with a couple of dates. Because a lot of young men haven’t the money to play around now, those who do get an exalted idea of themselves becanse of the lack of competition. Another thing is their selfishness. They’re so afraid of losing a little independence or sacrificing some of the little luxuries possible on ;a bachelor budget, that they ease ’off when they feel they're getting I involved," spoke up this young I lady. I “If you were to have your choice i of famous men from which to pick I a husband whom would you select?" was a, query that made most i pause to think. r Here Are Feminine Favorites The Prime of Wales, Leslie I Howard. Colonel Lindbergh, Rob- ! ert Montgomery, Anthony Eden, , Richard Halliburton and James 1 Roosevelt were among those named. Opinions were divided, about half and half, when those interviewed were asked whether they ' considered their parents happily married. “My mother never had a chance to do half the things ishe wanted to because she always had to sacrifice for the sake of the children.” said a Pittsburgh girl who had finished college and continued with graduate work. “Companionship is the big thing one should get out of marriage, but the edge is taken away when the only thing to look forward to is the monthly lottery to determine whether the butcher or baker wins what is left after paying the milkman.” Tlte unattached young woman of today is not cynical or bitter about a. situation which has apparently checkmated her. but one detects a note of tragic protest in their comments, a deep undercurrent of rebellion against an age in which they face a rather empty future, tolerate a present, which lis only a strange interlude, and I look back on a comparatively uneventful past.
