minneapolis JOuFnat: ideal wives
are being made at the University Of
Minnesota. and-it- is there that young
men should look for life, companions
IL the CRITICISMS. of.Iifty young men. of
the modern young woman, are fairly
Indicative of what young men want in
women" said Margaret Sweeney, dean
OF women, Miss sweeney was discussing

Wilson, pastor of the Central Presby-
terrain church., st. Paul., to find out
what sort of q girl the average .young
ma wants, for. his wife, by sending
out fifty letters, OF, i1qliby.ss
Gum .chewing on the Streets big
hats, fondness for bridge whist. and
devotion to dancing are some OF the
objections. to the modern young wom-
en- set down by the, Young men WHO
answered DR.. Wilson'S letters, Girls
must not be priggish, or shippant, must
have, a good education, must have
some accomplishment. = Preferably
they should" be able to play the piano
m sing. and they should be strong
minded enough to have some sense
M not so strong minded that they
make a man feel inferior. according to
these young men. +"
Il am very sure that the young
women of the University of Minnesota
90 not-chew gum on the Streets" said
Dean Sweeney. Il know that they are
free from many Of 'the things that the
young men who wrote to DR.. Wilson
objected to. and hope they. are free.
from others.
Most of the girls over here are
sensible and l know of non that are
1lppant and few are priggish. AS to
devotion to- bridge whist; I do not
think it amounts to anything with us.
AS to dancing. 1t is probably true that
many are devoted to IT."
Dr.. Wilson'S replies indicated that
the young man Of today. wants a help.
mate. also that mans ideals are not Of
a low order and by a helpmate he does
not mean only a girl who can keep
house, for him and cook and wash,
dishes. The replies indicate that the
average young man. wants intelligence
as well, and a. girl with some ..inde-,
pendence of thought.
