One of the wrong things in
this world is that a woman
has to wait for a man TO
speak. Her happiness may
depend upon him, but she IS
not permitted to tell him so,
as he would be TO tell her.
She must depend upon her
ability to create and foster IN
him a favorable and ardent
feeling. To do this, she must
depend much upon her ap-
pearancc. No man admired
a sallow skin, dull and sun
ken and circlcd eyes. blood
less lips. sunken cheeks
No man wants to marry an
invalid. Very few invalids
are attractive to either sex.

should be. Many a woman's
