HARVARD BACHELOR
CHARTS IDEAL BRIDE
Plans and Specifications of
Perfect Spouse Set Forth
in the Lampoon.

Who or what is 1.-The girl that's
worth while?"
What are the plans and specifica-
tions OF the girl one would wish, to
have for life mate?
Fifty bachelors of Harvard Univer-
sity, members of the Bachelors Club,
stand ready to answer these Ques-
tions.
In a recent issue OF the Lampoon
the Bachelors Club made an official
announcement which should guide
men in the selection of the perfect
type" The club went on record as
a body, no one member being willing
to afrix his name to the article.
Salient features OF the specifications
of the "ideaI" are "attractiveness,
grace, health, breadth OF vision Tin
tellectual, Of course), sympathy, tact,
unselfshness. optimism. thrift, geni-
ality, modesty, loyalty, domesticity,
and religious devotion"
Outside of that nothing Is required
by the young bachelors Of Harvard
of brides for benedicks. except that
they must be able to make bread,
fudge, cake. and rarebits, be fond of
children and kind to seniors. dress
tastefuily, be ready to meet reverses,
be fairly proficient in dancing and in
women's sports, be cultured and dem
ocratic, be affable and hospitable, and
ready to meet any one whom friend
husband may present.
or course, there are few other
requirements which the youths have
suggested for the perfect spouse"
one of which is that she be not afraid
to pray nor too proud to go to church.
1t'may be that any young girl,
feeling that she can conscientiously
say she fulfills the specifications. will
be able to lure some OF the young
clubmen from their bachelordom. 1t
Is understood that girls Of WELLESLEY
College are considering answering the
statement OF the bachelors with speci-
fications for the perfect husband"
