Usefulness Of Brothers.

The girl with brothers. and owning
home in which brothers friends are
made welcome. has an infinitely better
chance Of making a happy marriage
than the sir! with neither of these adj
vantages.
brothers make excellent chaperOns.
Any man they introduce to their sis
tiers is quite sure TO be all that can be
desired. Men know men as no woman
can ever hope to know them.
y a brother shows his willingness
FOR things to happen by bringing =
friend often home. his little sister MAJ
feel quietly confident that her heart
is leading her in the right direction.
The brother with pretty sisters Is
quite a pSilanthropist in his way. since
he runs the risk of losing the friend o.

return the admiration.
