Josiah Gilbert Holland Whoops! We'll probably be out on the well known you know what, for what we're about to say but we've been looking sideways at the man power situation, precisely, the available husband material. Frankly, and the awful truth there is very little really worthwhile material out there! What do we mean by "worthwhile husband material?" Well, fella who, first of all understands women Secondly, acts like lie knows he's a man! That is he's a gentleman, aware of, and practices the little niceties which make a woman glad she's a woman. You know, fellas, the "little" things, like tipping hat when you meet a lady Opening a door just the slightest show of deference. The big thing that makes a man husband material, of course, is his ambition not necessarily his bank account or current income but ambition. Speaking of current bank accounts and income, we're apt to hit a snag 'Cause it's a rare man whose income matches that of the average woman these days! That is in our group, of course When this bit of info hit us in the face, chum, we blinked, not once, but sugah we did a double take! Why do you suppose this is true? Why do you suppose that out of a given group of 300 women, you're apt to find about 125 130, who have husbands whose income, education, and interests equal or surpass their We believe the inequities here stem from the erroneous notion of our elders to educate the girls instead of the boys wherever a choice had to be made.

As a result, a gal with a doctorate, finds herself hard put to find a husband on a like educaitonal plane Of course, she's got a choice she can settle for single blessedness but is it blessed?" We are saying that a fella's got ot have a doctorate to bring happiness to a gal as a matter of fact, unless all other qualities ere considered, and found, there is no apparent happiness in any case It may be, on the other hand, that Uie fashion of "educating the girls, let the boys work," idea has made our group too matriarchal! Perhaps, we tend to take the lead too quickly Oh, we don't mean we've got to sit back like the crinoline and you know what But then we don't have to whistle for the cab! So sorry that custom designer and furrier, Cleveland's Mildred Allen has been downed by a summer cold the meanest kind of cod she's not letting it get her too much, however, for she's enmeshed in plans for a Fall I showing of styles. Mildred tells us this one will be dedicated to the stouter woman A group she feels has been too much neglected Told you that gal 5is mart! How many fashion houses concentrate lon the more plump sister and here's scads 'n scads of plump women who are just as fashion 'conscious as the reed like creatures with which pur fashionmags and pages abound Bravo, Mildred!
