The Right Refrain


That's the right refrain just
now. It's the one I'm going to
sing anyhow, and all the girls in
my class" and she threw the very
clever magazine with Miss
Coreurs latest article on the
Greatest thing in the world and
how to get it" into the ferns-and
wouldn't hear Of picking it up
again.
when are these clever people
who write things for the maya
zines going to wake up?" she said.
I'VE don't need articles on how to
catch a husband these days. or
how to keep him when we've
got him-not a bit in the world.
The thing we need is; How to
take an interest in matrimony as
profession when there are so
many other interesting things to
do.
My poor mother would have
had an awful time if she hadn't
married-fancy living with Uncle
Dick all your life and being a
maiden sister. But it's different
with me.
IF I meet just the right man,
I'll marry-maybe-b TIL think
awhile before I do it. I'm going
to get a rather good salary in my
line of work. I can do a lot Of
good in the world, and oh, what a
lot Of fun I'm going to have.
I'll have to be awfully in love with
a man to give all that up-just to
be Mrs Somebody. I love being

afraid I should hate awfully just
to be somebody's wife-without

A Pretty Woman.

It was all right for people who

at a table for anything, to say
and to believe when they said,
that no man could love a woman

Who's the man the most out

Is she the prettiest woman Of
