NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
B\ BY JANE JORDAN /D

Some men marry a good cook.
The old platitude that the way to a
mans heart is through his stomach
has a grain of truth in it. Although
food is not an emotion, it is a ne
cessity, and cooking is an art that
would-be wife should not neglect.
Other men marry because they
need mothering, an accomplishment
entirely independent of physical
pulchritude. The maternal instinct
at its highest ebb has a beauty
that transforms the most homely
exterior.
After all, there is very little real
beauty of physical form among hui
man beings, and the sage who said
that Pretty is as pretty does" knew
what he was talking about.

DEAR Plain Jane - Physical
~ beauty is not the only thing
that men marry for. Take account
Of any gathering of wives, and if
you do not see all sizes and shapes,
kinds and varieties, miss my guess.
In case nature has not endowed
you with beautiful physical frame,
do not despair of matrimony, but
cultivate other qualities that men
marry to possess.
Some men marry for a home. The
male animal loves comfort, and a
real home maker is a good matri-
monial risk. I mean a home maker,
not a housekeeper, who makes all
her husbands friends welcome, and
is not too fuSsy about cigar ashes.
