Does the average man prefer the
demure, coy kind of girl or the
bright and vivacious girl-in all proba-
bility a fiirt-and which kind of a
girl makes the better wife?" This is
the question on which a. modern girl
asks opinion through a London news
paper
Il have read in your paper many
opinions on the modern girl given by
young men," she writes, but | have
not found an answer to the question
which countless other girls besides
myself would like answered
TT seems to me that the average
man marr1es the coy, quiet girl, but
after few years of married life is
apt to seek the society of the viva
cious girl, very often at the expense of
his wife's happiness
Here are some opinions of London
people:
Rev C. H Grundy, vicar of St
Peters, Brockley, believes in the at
traction of the opposite.
ST think the quiet man generally
marries, and generally should marry.

bright, vivacious man, on the con-
trary, prefers and gets on better with
his opposite
Some of the quietest men I have

the vivaciousness of their wives.
