(WHICH is better. to marry for love

question to ask these days when hap

Of every woman

is deeply in love with them They do

in a good many instances. he is even
repulsive to them. Yet they want ad-
vice as to which they would better

There IS usually a postscript to
these letters saying that the families

was actually the phrase used and no
one appeared TO thing 1t offensive or

a sister who allows herself to be mar

The creditable modern girl marries
because she is in love and because a
certain young man seems to her a
desirable lift partner. not because the
family wants TO get her off its hands.
And this kind OF marriage IS far more
complimentary to the man than the
oldfashioned pig-in-a-poke business,

she is used TO be called, really married

tastes and mutual desire to make

young people working in the same

that the fancy has tinged this grey
