profession enable me to live comfort
ably, to enjoy reasonable luxuries,
and to maintain properly equipped
office.
Truly, my life is very full and
time seems to fly. But l must admit
that, being reasonable, ordinary
man, there are times when / picture
the possibilities of home. But the
fact is that | do not meet any girls
who attract me, except specifically.
They seem to me selfish and, for the
most part, very shallow. Nice to
look at, but very hard to talk to,
want for my wife a woman who is,
first, companionable, and, second,
physically attractive. l do not ex-
pect to find a girl who likes to do
everything that | like, but hope
that her life will have been so similar
to mine that we can with simple ad-
justment pool our interests with but
little deprivation. | feel that any
marriage might be happy if based on
congeniality of temperament, taste
and intellect, plus physical love, not
as a dominant but as a secondary at
traction.
Now it seems to me, since every
normal girl, rich or poor, expects to
marry, it is really her duty to prepare
herself for that most wonderful of
life's -home-building A law
yer, for instance, wouldn't get very
far in his profession if he ceased
studying and applying his law to
practical cases just as soon as his ex'
animation admitted him to practice.
"Just as soon as American girls
quit looking for a prince out of the
skies, and instead busy themselves
with what should be the satisfying
and intensely interesting occupation
of fitting themselves physically and
mentally for home management and
motherhood, the ever-increasing num-
Der of young unmarried men who are
working and studying at their re-
spective life work will dwindle."

Letter From a Girl Who Wants to
Get Married.
In the July issue the editors of the
Woman's Home Companion publish
two letters which they say they can
not answer. Readers are invited to
contribute these replies. One letter
lis entitled THE Girls Side of IT,
and the other "The Mans Side oi
| it," A part of the girls letter is as
follows:
when | came back from college
] settled down to home life. I've
been good daughter-my father
and mother dote on me, and depend
on me for a great deal. But l am
not satisfied. | am nearly 27, and
| have absolutely no life of my own.
1t may be unwomanly to cry it aloud
like this-but / want home, want
husband and ] want children
want them all, terribly.
"The young men who grew up with
me, those who were worth anything,
have all gone to the city long ago.
Sometimes they came homeland
bring their wives with them-girls
they found and married far from our
little town. The other boys who were
in my set are mostly in New York,
or out west, save one or two ne-er-do-
wells, who are below par either phys
icsally or mentally. One works in a
drug store-and drinks too much.
One is a justice Of the peace and a
sort of local politician, and he seeks
only the company of girls who do not
have good regulations. One has a
grocery store of the dirty, untidy,
smelly kind. Oh, honestly, | couldn't
marry one of them! And right on
this one street are no less than five
girls who are in the same position as
myself-nice, attractive, healthy,
well-educated girls, all lovers of
home, all good housekeepers, and not
single beau amongst the lott
81 used to think I'd meet The Man

but, though | have met men in this
way and had a proposal or two, /
haven't met The One. And | do not

thought of it!
Whats going to become of girls
like me? Is it fair? Is ii right? !
know I'd make a good wife and a
good mother, just as well as l know
that I've got blue eyes and brown
hair-but what can a girl do when
she doesn't meet any eligible men?
There are ever and ever so many girls
like me in little towns like this one.
It's all very well to say that marriage
is woman's best life and that home
making is the greatest profession for
women, but what about the women
who don't get a chance at it?"

Ashland people who bought the
simple mixture of buckthorn bark,

of a SINGLE SPOONFUL. This rem

that it is used successfully in append

THE SCOTCH AND DIVORCE
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-04-09

THE SCOTCH AND DIVORCE
The nationality having the fewest di-
vorces per thousand is the Scotch.
The reason for this is not one but
several.
In the first place the Scotch are
very healthy in mind, as well as body.
They do not always talk so much, but
they feel with a most beautiful sem
sitiveness. When dressed in their ma
tive style, with the bare legs, it tends
more to health than sickness. The
ancestors of the race were not all
blessed with luxuries, but enjoyed for
the most part plain foods which tend
toIgood health.
AS people the courtships of the
Scotch are shorter than any other
race. The pure impulse of nature
love is gratified with marriage in q
