ARE PRETTY GIRLS
EASILY woN7

To prove that pretty girls are easily
won In comparison with plain, 1t Is
only necessary to review a few of the
marriages which come under the no.

enough to make up to Venus herself. or
to propose to Helen OF Troy ten times
Now mark the husband which the

winning of her has brought him
wealth. In real life 1t 10 rarely the
most brilliant match. She asks too lit

scarcely man living who may not
get the pretty Amelias for the asking

BE sure that a handsome man, pros
porous in this worlds goods, has a
plain little wife somewhere in the
to win a plain woman. The failures Of
the world have all got pretty wives;
half the time they have been ruined by
them.
Probably nine men out o ften would
be surprised to learn as a fact that
pretty girls are more easily won than
plain. 1t Is a common fallacy among

Strangely enough the reverse cas-,

There is about the pretty girl
trusting confidence which experiences

at a dance the different reception {
