Girl in Husband Quest Fares Best by Sticking to ‘Be Yourself Idea BY MARTHA LEE THERE is no rule by which a girl can abide lo catch a husband. Sometimes the most unattractive girl will marry before her more dashing sister because she realizes that not many chances for matrimony will come her way. Hence the first man who proposes is accepted and then the pretty girls wonder a few years later how such a homely girl ever had the opportunity to marry.

As to what sort of girl a man wants for a wife that varies, of course, entirely with the man’s character. Some men want the stay-at-home, wren type girl, while others must have a typical jazz baby or a clothes horse. Since a man’s requisites for a wife Vary so much the clever girl knows that she may as well be her natural naif and she will have a better chance of making a good match than if she acted in some manner entirely alien to her character. The modern girl is not so keen to plunge into matrimony as was her ancestress of years ago. Now there are so many interesting careers open to women that any girl would be foolish to accept someone for whom she did not care just for the sheer purpose of having a husband. Dear Miss Lee: lam a girl past 25. Up until about two years ago X was a very popular girl, going to dances and some place about every night, and having lots of dates with different boys. But none of these boys ever acted serious with me or ever proposed to me. As I thought I was old enough to get married, and as all my friends were getting married, I began to feel I should nave to be more settled to win a man. I began to give up dancing and Joined a churcn and started to lead a different life entirely. But X found that all my friends forgot fe, and I never met many boys and that was lonely. Two years have passed and X am not married vet. Now what should I do. start dancing and running. around, stait smoking and drinking, or just live in hopes of getting some man just as i do not care to go back to the o'd life, but I crave friendship and companionship. It seems that I can not find it this way. A LONE Ly girl. Dear Lonely Girl: Your trouble lies in the fact that you are so eager to get married. Most men, you know, never intend to get married. Os course, they do, many of them, but I shall wager that many of them had made firm resolve to lead the life of a gay bachelor instead of settling down with a. wife, family and household. When they see that you have matrimony in your mind they are very careful to school their feelings about you so that there is no danger of their taking the last step. You have been unwise to give them such an obvious warning. Your change in actions and your ways of enjoying yourself was a foolish idea. There is no harm in temperately enjoying oneself and very few young men of this modem day object to the girl who really enjoys life. On the other hand, your decided change from the way you used to be no doubt seemed very hypocritical to your friends. They were right because you were just making use of your church membership to try to get a pious husband. Be natural, my dear girl, and if you care to go to a dance now and then, go and forget about the designs you have on the young man who is your escort. Perhaps when you are able to do this you will receive your much wanted proposal. Dear Martha Lee: What would you think of a voun? man who pave you his undivided attention for three years, but who never made any preparation for marriage or never gave a girl a ring? I hav been keeping company with this young man for six years and have given up every one else for him. This was not hard for me to do, however, as I think a great deal of him. but I feel that he ill turn should think of my predicament. ELSIE. Dear Elsie: There are some men like the one of whom you write. They monopolize a girls time and Attention, but are too selfish to marry the girl. However, the girl is so "foolish that she deserves such treatment if she continues to go with a trifler like this. In your case you should come out bluntly and tell this reluctant young man that you have decided it is time you are getting married. Let him know that either he must marry you or you will see no more of him. Any man who goes constantly with one young woman knows that he should propose or else stop seeing this girl so often so that she will have a chance to go with other young men whose intentions are more honorable.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ u n n THEIR LETTERS

BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES Dearest Mom: Os course the parents of those youngsters who burned the house are to blame. I’m telling you, mom, the kids have ’em hoodooed. If I ever have a girl, or a boy, or both. I’ll know it if they aren’t tucked in bed at a decent hour. Boys and girls aren’t really as defiant as they seem. Just let Dad sit up and wait for them once or twice with the business end of the house slipper and they’ll come home when the curfew rings next time. The whole truth is, Mom, that parents are lax when their children are small and no great harm comes from letting them escape the parential eye a bit. But once the kids reach the age when they can keep their eyes open after 10 o’clock, parents begin to find out that the authority they’ve been using so sparingly doesn’t mean a thing in the lives of their offspring. That’s when they start worrying. Now you may wonder how I come to know so much. Lean closer and I’ll whisper it, because I’m afraid 111 shock you if I write it out loud. I gleaned it all from one of those awful psychology books. It’s the force of habit, Mom. Kids who are used to parental authority keep right on obeying their parents from the time they creep until they ankle off to the minister. That is if the authority is real. No self-respecting boy or girl is going to be talked to like a criminal just because pa and ma suddenly wake up to find out that it’s spring time in the lives of the younger generation. To have any influence, authority must be used constantly. The idea of paying no attention to Sister until she comes in after 2 a. m. and then jumping on her with a whole calendar of crimes and misdemeanors won’t get a parent anywhere with her. If Sister had known all her life that there were rules for her she’d have obeyed the rules. If she knew that her parents would sit up to ask her about her evening and engage in a littJi get-together talk she wouldn't want to come home with anything much to conceal. It’s the parents who fall asleep at 9 p. m., while their youngsters are just waking up. who are to blame. With all my love, MARYE.
