WEDDING A COLLEGE GIRL
OR ONE IN THE CHORUS
Which One VIII Make the Better Wife2-There Are the Veil
KnoUn Ttoo Sides to This Story n

To the Editor Of the Wondn's PAGE:
hO roy know any chorus girls? Do
- you know any college girls? Think
them over carefully and then decide
which would make the better wife. This
interesting comparison, in the limelight
lately. offers much food for thought
The question SINNERS down to what
are the qualifications for first rate. A. |
wife. There are great many. I sup
pose, there being so many men to make
them up. But think two could almost
take in all the others. The desirable
wife must be companionable and she
must know how to make a home and
keep it that way.
Now when one is cOmpanionablc
person and at the same time the kind
who is happy in the business of home
making one must of necessity be a
contented woman. Which brings us
Gown to an unusual conclusion.
Both the college girl and the chorus
girl are apt to fall down on the role of
the satisfactory wife. There is quota =
ton which fits here and rather explains
what I mean. Said Alexander Pope.
"a little knowledge is dangerous
thing" Both the chorus girl and the
college girl have had a little of some
thing. but not quite enough to teach that
the main current of life runs far deeper
than what is contained in books or gayly
imbibed in hotels and restaurants after
the show.
