An EDUCATED TASTE.

Young men. unmarried will take a primary in
terest in the QUESTIONABLE conducted by girl
dents at the University Of Wisconsin on the quail
ties they demand IN husbands.
Married may study these same answers to
their profit amusement while women,
ried otherwise will probably scan them with
pity. federation contempt according to their
perenoes their own firm convictions
Had this question been submitted to the
mothers Of the race those early women who dwelt
N caves and were wooed and caressed with clubs.
they would given a much more una nimous
than have these college maids who have
their to think and who have filled
their brains with knowledge.

quality most to be desired in man was strength
for in the Stone Age. the compelled TO

Submitted to women Of that later period when
humanity confined through lack OF transporta-
ton. rivers, bays and seas. and the women might
have been onably expected TO agree that sea-
nanship and cold courage TO battle with ele-
ments was the first and primary consideration.
Now in these days OF completely. attire 1000
years OF written history two thousand years Of
Christian teachings, might look for clean
morals and high to the list these
lege women's lists of desirable attributes
The written do not give morals a prom-
place, suggest a reason
why the double standard Of moral judgement pre-
walls and why easily forgiven for acts
which completely and eternaIy ostracse their sis

near TO bottom.
Ambition ranks first and intellect second. That
shows the educated Of the educated woman.
The woman of today demands in her the de-
sire TO make the most OF his opportunities. dream
Of empires TO unchain the shackles to his hopes

for his purpose.
She knows the educated woman that this
is an era when the great battles are fought with
wits. we'll sharpened wits. and that the big prizes
go to those who think and have been trained
to think.

Ceit ranks first That may be a protective instinct,
FOR the woman knows that the who has
overwhelming sense Of his own importance is quite
likely to make her comfort and her welfare sec
ondary to his own and the educated girl has
idea OF being second in any part Of life.
Rudeness is the next big fault the eyes Of
most girls They want courtesy. They demand some
delicacy OF expression and treatment. Thus far has
she progressed from her cave ancestress who was
satisfied perforce with meals and protection against
the beasts outside the cave.
The third big fault is insncerity. That must also
be listed as an acquired taste, one that comes
through a knowledge that the man without fixed
principles Is quite likely to be a drifter hayward
and an insecure factor in the home. II he cannot

man" is the wisdom Of the ages. The college girl
takes her classics seriously.
Very few Of these college girls ranked the pos
session of big incomes essential They prefer
good dispositions TO bank accounts, perhaps with
the capacity to create incomes later after
thought.
such Is the judgement OF the modern Mnervas
For those who find these demands hard or i'm

attended college. nightly visit the movie palaces
and sigh and tlngle and grow estactic over a wall
