The Marrying Girl
SkNNARRYING girls like poets.
III are born not made.
-Rv Helen Rowland,

Not every girl can expect to
succeed in marriage. any more
than everybody can expect to
succeed AZ writer or movie
star.
There seems to be q special
talent for marrying. which is
born in some people. like talent
for painting or dancing or cook
ing or sewing. You can no more
teach a girl thow to win hus-
band" than you can teach her to
write like Mrs. Browning or to
sing like CALI Curci.
