very true story. We are all lone

people. The majority of the
young men nowadays are just out

the girls q second thought after
leaving them. know one young
man chat has all the qualities OF q
good husband but would not think
OF getting married and being tied
down. Another young man who
seems to be very much interested
in me is a boro and can only talk
about his business and automo-
bIles. When he 10 in company he
can never talk intelllgently on
any subject and this embarrasses
me very much. I am twenty-four
years old. a capable housekeeper,
/ make all my own clothes and
hats and am very handy at max
ing nice things for the home. but
I never meet anyone that thinks
seriously OF marriage, ! look at

and know I would be q helpmats

where are the good ones to be

what prematurely. II was a thing
more easily said than done; for as

her golden hair IN a tanEIe, her

parted. She looked terribly young
