courage enough to pop the question

that way.
THE second difficulty Of catch
ing a husband is getting near enough
soaring him off. Let a man SUSPECT
that a woman is camping on his
trail, and he beats it to the tall
timber. That's where managing
mothers, who gush over men and
tell them how sweet and amiable
Marie is and how domestic Susan
is, fall down. The stupidest man
sees her fell designs upon him and
sidesteps them.
But business furnishes girl
with a perfect alibi for always be-
ing about, and it also camouflagss
a mans single blessedness. He is
suspicious of the society girl who
must marry for a meal ticket, Gr6

Hes off his guard. however
where the business girl is concern
ed She's got a perfectly good job,
and shows herself capable of hold
ing it down. and doesn't have to
get some man to pay. her bills. So
he feels safe with her. and for
gets that no vamp on earth has
any such magic to coajure with as
propinquity, and that no other spell
is SO potent to. draw two people
together as vital interest IN the
same thing.
"Of course no man ever expects
to fall in love with the woman with
whom he worked: Oh, dear no. II he

forehald he would probably say the
business girl isn't his type. He

ffrst-class stenographer, or a crack
woman for wife but for home
"Quite so. And strong in the be-
lief that the business woman has
no attraction for him outside of her
efficiency as a worker, he treats her

riably says the right thing:-the
soothing word when he's IRRITABLE
and his nerves are, on edge. the en-
couraging word when his courage
falters; the compromising, plying

exultant word of praise when he
pulls off something good.

| talking to his best man pal-only
a fellow can say things to a wom-
an he can never say to a man. Per-

Somehow this girl who knows
him so we'll, AID who knows and
is interested in the things he cares
most for makes all other girls seem
| pretty poor company.
Then it comes over him some
| day what it would mean if he should
| lose the companionship that has
| come to mean so much to him
and if the girl feels the same way
about it; it's all over but sending
| out the wedding encouragement. And
the marriage is nearly always
| happy one because the couple knew
each others peculiarities and angu-
larities of disposition before MARI
age instead Of finding them out
| afterwards.
ooh, it's no trouble for business
| girl to get married. That's why so
| many girls who don't need to go
| to work are hunting jobs-and hus-
| bands"
