The hour of dinner is said to show the

dishes of flowers; permissible foods
initiating the form of meats on fast
days, even eggs being counterfeited,
and clever things such as making two
capons out of one by skinning 1t and
stuffing the skin There were, besides,

Americas sweetheart need a matri'

Does she require a posse Of promi.

from living together ceaselessly

American women are well

all the hunting. We don't need

II don't think the average man
exactly wants to marry-he vaguely
wants a home. But some woman
spots him. sees in him a suitable
single man, and then she has
reached the age where she thinks
1t well to marry.
"Instinctively, American women
know twice as much about getting
man as any other woman. and
fifty times as much as any man
knows about getting a wife.
Men are romantic and Senti.

But lots and lots of women
marry on the rebound. They can't

"Yet, like to think that we're
