Helen Believes Most Men
Are Marriage Proof
BY HELEN ROWLAND

A GIRLS father never asks
what a mans intentions are, any
more; he just offers him a cigar
and leaves the heavy work to
daughter.
The tables, il seems, have been
turned. Nowadays it's the man
who wants to know what a girls
intentions are before he will give
her any encouragement. He's
cagey, that way.
THE OLD-FASHIONED lover
didn't always know that he had
any intentions until papa put it
up to him. He just drifted into
a love affair and thence into
marriage-and could never tell
you how it all happened.
But the modern mans inten-
tons are perfectly clear. He
has every intention in the world
of keeping OUT of marriage!
Nothing is farther from his in
tentions than getting sewed up
with LII ole Sweet Thing! The
first thing he says is "Howdye-
do Pm-not-a-marrying-man!"
1T is the girl who has to keep
her fell designs dark-to pre-
tend not to take a man seriously
when she is planning TO TAKE
him, if it takes a lifetime! To
affect supreme scorn for the
idea of marriage when that is
the one bright, definite idea in
her mind, and she has her
trousseau all planned and her
bridesmaids lined up.
1t is the girl who dares not
wear her intentions on her
sleeve, but must hide them away
in her bosom and reassure her
timid, reluctant lover. lest he
flee like a frightened faun.
EVEN WHEN her intentions
are purely friendly or sisterly,
she finds it safer to dilute them
and not to be too sweet and
chubby. Because how can a man
be sure in these primordiaf
times that her intentions are
honorable? She may be pre-
tending all the time to be a
good pal and meanwhile Sc
cretly plotting to ease him to
the altar.
A mans intentions are the
same today as they have always
been since Paris played around

Tables. Too

Tables may be purchased in
dozens of different sizes, too.
The same factors of function and
appearance ought TO govern
their purchase since table too
high or too low is equally as
annoying as sofa whose seat is
too shallow or too deep.
Select tables on the basis of
use and relationship to the group
with which they are to be used.
For instance. the two end tables
illustrated are practical, COM
Portable to use and attractive IN
their relationship to the sofa.
Notice that the tops are arm
level, not higher, not lower. This
is the most comfortable height
for such pieces.
The coffee or magazine table
in front of the sofa is low-seat
level-so as TO conform TO the
natural actions of those sitting
on the sofa. A high table here
would be difficult. to use and
would obstruct the clear view
of the room for the occupants of
the sofa. Such tables as these
should be purchased with these

Suggestions
For a Good

MOST PEOPLE do not take
breakfast seriously or regard ii

not hungry early in the morning

fast is a necessity for those of
us who start out early to work
or to school.
1t may not be much of a meal
but should be nourishing and
warm at this time of year. Here
are some menus guaranteed to
art the day right.

FIRST WHITE MARLIN
CAUGHT, CHINCOTEAGUE

The first white Marlin caught north
of Florida waters this season was land
ed at Chincoteague only recently and
was caught in the following manner:
Trout stopped biting for Walter
Reed and he decided to go out into
the ship lane and look after a few
"Blues." On, his way out he saw the
fin of Marlin sailing along with the
boat. He was thrill ed but he was un-
prepared for "big game" However,
he tied two trout lines together, put
on a bigger hook with generous por-
tions of squid and threw his line in
front of the fish. The Marlin squirm
ed and grabbed the bait and burned
the rubber gloves which Mr.. Reed was
wearing. His hands were cut, but he
cleaned to" and in ten minutes the
Marlin was boated by the bill-there
being no gaff hooks handy.
!. The line used was last years line.
The difference is that Walter Reed is
looked upon there as about the best
hand-line fisherman on the Eastern
Coast.
