Lila went on; "but after all, Ber-

school and share our lunch and play

trailed off softly, reminiscently.
BERTHE Lou couldn't help looking
back to school days. She had been
very proud of Lila's friendship then.
Lila was the leading spirit of the
class room and immensely popular.
They had many memories to STARE.

CHAPTER XVII

DERTIE LOU was prepared for
ID almost anything when she en-
tered Molly's apartment. A maid
admitted her and said that Mrs.
Fraser was still in the dining room,
adding: "She asked to have you
shown in there, madam" Molly's
servants were always well instruct
ed in formality.l
Molly and Lila were still seated
at table, lingering over sweets and
coffee. Sheets Of writing paper were
spread out before Lila and she was
busily engaged in Scribbling on them
when BERTHE Lou walked in.
Molly arose and pulled out chair
for her.

said in greeting. 1--WE couldn't have
waited very long. We're going shop

BERTHE Lou looked at Lila. "If
you WILL" Lila said, in a sweetly
coaxing tone that BERTHE Lou never
had heard her use before.
For my trousseau," she added
with a shyness most unbecoming to
her. BERTHE Lou felt like laughing.
But why in the world do you want
me along?" she asked bluntly.
Lila turned to Molly. The latter
got up again. II think Lila has
something confidential to say to
you," she answered BERTHE Lou.

how Lila's father could afford to

COLLEGE MEN
SHUN BEAUTY IN
PICKING MATES
Rate Brains First in Quiz
on Qualities of Girls
for Marriage.
BY ALBERT III. TEDERSTROM
United Press Staff Correspondent

CELEVELAND, July 17.-Brains
not beauty, wins the majority of
men.
Such, at least, was the inference
from a survey made by Prof. Thorn
ton w. Merriam of the Case School
of Applied Social Science.
In a list of desired qualities and
characteristics in their prospective
wives, good housekeepers scored the
highest vote from a group of mar
riageable young men.
Housekeeping First
Personally, good health, and high
intelligence ranked next, according
to the balloters, so per cent of
whom were university graduates, 20
per cent of whom were completing
their university courses, Is per cent
Of whom were high school graduates
and 5 per cent of whom had COM
pleted part of high school courses.
Willingness to have children pre-
coded good looks in Importance.
Thirty-five per cent considered a
wealthy girl vital to their ultimate
happiness and one man voted that
companionate marriage was of lex
ceedingly great Importance"
The survey, according to Professor
Merriam, was prompted by the COM
plant of a number of young women
whose social contacts were made in
churches.
Girls Make Complaints
'They told me that the average
young man of 80 or so, whom they
met at church functions, were not
their mental equal" he said.
$50 I decided to find out where
the average young man meets the
girl he goes with and what his OBJ
jections toward MARI age were."
Economic conditions and lack of
sufficient salary" is the greatest
obstacle" which the majority of the
young men found to marriage. The
girls they "step out" with are usu-
ally introduced to them by friends,
the survey showed.
An average salary of 5000 a month
was the income believed necessary
for marriage.
