TELL Y. M. C. A. BOYS ALL ABOUT
HOW TO GET A WIFE

HOW TO GET A WIFE
How to love, how to court, how to
marry and when-sOme things every
young man ought to know, even
though he will forget it when he
gazes into the eyes Of his honestly,
you are the only girl ever really
loved" was the portion doled out by
DR.. Charles Kurtze yesterday in his
lecture at the Wilson Av. Y. NJ. c. A.
Pickings from his advice follow:
Don't depend upon accidentally
meeting your prospective wife, but
choose her.
Mix in the kind of company you
want your wife to be in.
Study the girls you meet and pick
the girl of your own nationality, re-
Iigion, educational standards and
about two years younger than your
self. Then cultivate her friendship
and propose to her.
Let your intellect direct your love
instead of your seX-impulse.
Don't let lack of money deter you
from proposing maTTiage-bOth your
wife and you can work until you are
able to support the home alone.
Get married if possible before you
are 25 years old.
Don't live in a boarding house after
marriage, but establish your own
home.
Be careful in the choosing of your
wife and you won't land in the di-
vOrce court.
Believe in and practice the single
standard of morality.
