insisting that the colder. girls.
marry first is nothing but a rem

TO be practical, sometimes
when the. younger sister marries
her new environment puts her in

tunes out Of another mans ideas.
If one girl in a family finds love
and companionship and the man
who is ready to make a home for
her, that is a situation separate
from any set or conditions with
which her sisters have to deal.
When a girl finds the man who
appears to be her mate, and that
man is all her family can ask,
It Is all wrong for her people
to fall back on a tradition long
outworn and ask her to wait
until her sisters have had their
turn. The Jacob Of today isn't
going to accept Leah instead Of
Rachel. Letting the youngest
girl make her way to- home and
happiness doesn't interfere with
the %chances" Of her older sis
