ONLY THING is TO FIND HER
Every Man Has an Affinity Somewhere
on the Earth, Is Law of
Nature.

Every man has best girl waiting
for him somewhere IN the world. The
moment that he is born, the catalogue
clerk in Times great factory assigns
him to best girl or else puts him on
the waiting list.
There is no escaping your best girl.
No matter where she may be born or
how far apart from her you were when
you started, the inevitable attraction
will work your destiny, and when you
meet you will both know it.
All that is lacking is the material
realization, and inasmuch as all ideas
eventually find their way to the sur
face, yours is bound to come.
Sometimes a mans best girl is home
ly; sometimes her mouth is not a
cupid's bow, and her features are ir-
regular; that makes no difference; he
will love her just the same when he
meets her.
Also, she may be another man s
wife. Such things have been known.
Here's hoping that it will not hap

Sometimes 1t is necessary to build

close neighbors. 1t is unfortunate
