Mind more than beauty is valued by
the majority of men who replied to
letters asking what men admired most
IN women. Rev. j. w. Waldron, pastor
AZ the Kansas Avenue Methodist
$church. sent out the queries and made
the replies received the basis or a ser
mon at the church last night IN the
answers seven different professions
were represented. including lawyers,
college students doctors and business

Not one suggested that a woman
should have a pretty race or peaullIui
form. In his sermon the preacher en-
uhasfzed the fact that the opinion men

is Inconsistent. and if she marrieS a
man who prefers a tidy. attractive
home to a wife who can make q fashy
appearance on the street, there is sure

I believe the influence OF my mother
made my life. Without her influence it
would have been a sFipwreck, and I
love in a woman those virtues which
Nlave made SO many great men, an un-
s@@dsh life devoted to the cause of God
I would emphasize three things needed
in a woman's character: stability
fidelity OF purpose and a desire to live
a Cody life
