THE DREAMER
ny nETrY NINcENT

Now it just happens that aThe Dreamer is ono Of the most attrac- tive young men girl ever meets
 He Is attractive for two reasons. First because he lives in n make-be- lteVe world ana second, because he Is such an optimiSt
 When the dreamer calls he Is a prince from fairyland. And he Is SO willing tC take his girl right along with him in his ke-bclieve Woridt
 ''Somc day l shall be a great poet" he whispers "or some day I'll write a wonderful novel and we'll have q yacht and see the world together"
 And sometimes the girl actually be- lieVes him9
 If girl has a vivid imagination and can keep on imagining all the rest of her days she may find great happiness with this prince who lives in | makc-helieve world. She may ontsr the hand of makc-hclieve and be just as happy as the girl who lives in widc-awake, livc-wire world But unless she has the gift of beiev- ing she IS dining in a gilded palace upon the dishes made for the gods right while she Is living in an attic studio and dining upon onions and rye bread. it ls advisable for her to give the dreamer up after the first call.
 There is a certain type of girl who also believes in make believe world. | but she alone is the only girl who should dream of wedding the I dreamer.
 ! { The practical girl, the girl who loves this world and wishes to | spluree about is not fitted to he the ' lifo companion or even the escort of l this fairy prince. She is not content | to sit under an old knotted apple tree ' in the spring and weave fantastic ! tales of the things which are to be. She would much prefer riding about town in a Rolls Royce With a Let's gon chap who has red hair and pug ntse but lives today in real worIt of his own.
 Sometimes the dreamer succeeds That is why the girl who also lives in a make-helieVe world can mean so { much Go him. She sees his visions and helps him in all hs dreams. When he tells her he Is going to write a musical comedy novel or a book of poems she dtes not try to discourage him and make file clerk of him She leans her elbows on the table and enters his make-believe world, listening to all the dream prince says, And because she be- lieves in him so explicitly the dreamer sees his own visions re- fleeted in her eyes and receives fresh | Inspiration.
 But the girl who doubts what the dreamer says darlsens the way for ! ntt0s II Snc naTfitH nlli eHf VIII make a poor clerk sr helpless failure out of him where the girl with vision and capable of dreaming dreams will help him to believe In himself and many times to attain the very things he dreams about.
 And if the dreamer shouldn't suc- eeed. but marries a girl who loves to live in a make. believe world. they will be happy anyway. They will have their fairy castles and pet am- bitions ever before them, and because they see things through the same eyes they will live in 6 delightful iit- tie world of their own.
 So If the dreamer is calling on you analyze yourself,
 Arc you capable of living in a malSe-belicve world all your lifeg lt you are, you will find happiness with your fairy prince.
 Or are you a practical, unemotional young lady who prefers a budget ac- count and fat bank account to s world Of fairies. golden wands and promises2 If you are the latter typs don't think too seriously about th' dreamer Let some other girl hell
 him to make his dreams come truel
