They do these things differently in
England, if one may Judge bg the fol-
lowing article in an English publlca-
tion on SHOULD Dark Woman Mar

| know there is a scientific law
Likes repel. unlikes attract" But
surely it is far cry to fit an cleo
trical statement TO souls. Though. of
course, love may be subtle kind of
magnetism, in which case Undoubtedly
the dark should marry the fair.
The great advantage of this seems
that. roughly speaking. fair people
take life more easily than dark ones.
ana are less nervous and more ami
able. Therefore the ideal mate for
the dark, energetic. highly strung
man is the blonde. placid, good-tem-
pered woman whose calmness win
cool his impetuoslty.
Just IN the same way the golden
haired girl with violet eyes will prob

will be her ideal. the force of contrast
will draw them together. and they
will be. In the eyes of the world, a
perfectly matched pair

sigh their loudest and excIaim. Dear
me! We shall see what we shall see"
when they hear that dark man, and
a dark girl are going to make a match
of it. According to them the doom
of the unfortunate couple, is settled.

same In color.
This Is going too far. We've all
known happy couples who were of the
same complexion. just as we've known
unhappy pairs whose eolorlng made a
fine contrast.
For the comfort of the dark haired
Gill who hopes to marry man whose
locks are almost her own color, I'm
going to quote a few of the things
have learned from a close study Of
some few hundred married couples.
If, then, you want to inspire a
fierce, overwhelming passion In your
lover you will have a better chance

if you wish to inspire deep and lasting
friendship, You win have better

In the rare cases / know of, where

nature, while the dark couple crave
excitement and are mentally more

The conclusion of the matter seems

according to what position he wishes
her to fill in his life. If he wants

delight his eyes. something to pro

Is done. he should choose golden
haired maiden. If he wants passion

should select a girl with raven hair
and dark brown eyes. but he must run

jealous disposition. If he issa farmer
or a quiet business man he should
marry his physical opposite, because
the contrast Is more pquant. But If
he is a man dependent upon his brain
