DOES LOVE WIN LOVE?

love. Many man has worshiped' for

those who have married with but a

something plain and homely and dull

Men really do hold the most extra

the way. And nobody has the same
opinion, anyhow. So how can one ar
rive at any conclusion at all?
Are sensible women really attrac-

damsel recently. I'm certain they
are mott Men adore fluffy, absurd lit
tie butterflies without an ounce of
brains or a grain of sense, and they
shun sensible women like the plague!
Viewing some of the ill-assorted cou-
pies who do frequently become en-
tangles in the matrimonial moose, one
would very much incline to agree with
this statement. For sensible, intelli-
gent men show a strange aptitude for
uniting themselves for better or for
worse with some giggling, fuzzy-haired
little girl who has hardly enough
sense to spell her own name, but who,
strange to say, has shown sufficient
"savoire faire" to capture the male of
the species, and, moreover, to capture
a fairly presentable specimen, too!
And this brings me to second
point. A very level-headed man was
