BY MARTHA HEDNAN.

The time has gone by, II Il ever
existed, when women could attract and
hold men by mere physical beauty.
Men require more than physical at

The woman with brains has the best
chance OF making "a happy marriage. I
do not say that beauty and charm will
not be valuable 10 her. but brains are
indispensable.
For in a mans mere physical love
there are but two seasons-summer
and winter-and no one knows how
soon the one viii pass into the other
But the woman who has something
more than mere physical attrsctiveness
has a hold on her husband that he
cannot deny.

who are successful wives. Are they

What Do Men Like Besf in Women

the successful wives you know ere
rather plain women. or n they are
pretty or attractive, their beauty Is
mere an added asset, not the principal
upon which they bank IN holding a
husbands love.
Is is my observation that the hus-
bands OF plain women are usually
more devoted than the husbands OF
beautiful women. A woman who can
discuss things intelligently with a man
makes a far more interesting compan-
Ion than the gigglng simpleton OF a
girl who has nothing but a pretty
face.
Who wants to be tied for life 10 q
woman whose highest thought oenters
upon her rouge pot and powder pun
Men are frequently attracted. but
they are never held by The merely
pretty face or figure; n Is the woman
who has brains that really supplies
