YOUNG man asks me ifIv


~ and disadvantages Of the dif-
a ferent types Of girls Is wives.
Well. son. there is always q fly in the
amber Of matrimony. No woman Is
perfect. There Is no such animal as
an ideal wife, and when you marry
you will have to take the bad in the
good of your wife and thank heaven 1t
u no worse.
OF course, there are exceptions to all
rules, but. taking girls by and large,
II you marry . beauty she will be easy
on the eyes but hard on the pocket
book, for living pictures must have
frames that set them of to the best
advantage. Also. the beauty is accus-
toned to adulation, and she expects
her husband to pinch hit for all the
other men she gave up when she mar
ried. Almost always she Is spoiled and
selfish. Also. the outside OF her head
h generally better furnished than the
inside. But her worst defect is that
her good looks don't last, and when
they are gone. what have you?
II you marry q rich girl, you will be
! saved a lot OF hard grubbing and hav.
ing to worry over where the rent money
Is coming from and how you are to pay
the grocery bill, but the hand that
holds the purse rules the roost, and you
will sing mighty small in your own
house, because 1t will be your wife's
house and she won't Yet you forget 1t.
You will always be Mr.. Sally Smith
and you will end up by being either
your vife's pet poodle, who fetches and
carries for her and does his little tricks
to amuse her or else by being the dog in
the manger that keeps her from doing
the things she wants to do and that
bites the hand that feeds him.
II you marry highbrow, you will
have an Intellectual companion with
whom you can spend evenings in i'm
proving conversation. discussing art
and music and the literary trend, but
she will know more about the Einstein
theory than she does about cooking.
While she will feed your mind, your
stomach will be empty.

Mysteries II you do not punch the
home time clock on the dot. And you
| will have wife to whom you can
talk shop instead Of one who yawns
IN your face when you try to tell her
about what happened at the Office to-
day. But you can't put anything over
On business wife or get by with the
alibi about the buyer from Oshkosh
when you want to stay downtown and
play poker with the boys. She has
telephoned too many excuses to her
bosses wives.
If you marry . domestic girl who
loves to cook and sew. clean and scrub
you will have a comfortable home and
dinners that are feastS, but it is dol
lars to doushnuts that your wife will
always smell OF bread and butter in
stead Of having perfume behind her
ears. and her conversational roper
toire will run from the price OF BUTCH
er's meat to green groceries Also you
will have to wipe your feet on the
mat before you enter your door and
be careful where you drop your Gig

slavery to the dress shops and the
milliners.
II you marry . thrifty girl she will
pinch every penny and you will die
rich, but you will never have any
fun while you live. because she will
count the cost Of every pleasure and

II you marry . girl with maternal
complex you will have = large family
Of children. but your wife will always
treat you as = moron baby who has to
