The society lover is the
least satisfactory of all types,
He takes the marriage game
much for granted. AS something
to resort to when he has hn-
ished other more interesting
things. He makes love for the
fun of it
of many other women. before the So
ciety man decides it is time to settle
down" and get himself n wife"
There are plenty of exceptions of
course. but the girl who is in the
social whirl and must pick her
life partner from a restricted circle
of wealth and fashion is less likely
to secure a satisfactory lover and
husband than the girl in humber cir
cumstances.
Making love for the fun of the
game has usually become a fine art
to the society man. What he has TO
offer the girl whom he finally decides
to honor is little indeed.
