| Show MAN WHO IS FICKLE AND A FLIRT SEEKS f PERFECTION IN GIRL i. f i Perplexing Problem of a Womans Woman's Gift Solved When I b-I Tastes Hobbies Consulted Puppy i BI Blame ame f for or Q Quarrel I By BETTY BLAIR People and particularly suitors who set up ideals of perfection perfection perfection per per- as patterns for others other's attainment usually fall short of the realities of life themselves within the limited horizon within which they move Their own intolerance blinds them to real values Dear Miss Blair The question I have in mind is very important and your answer not only will benefit me but a aI aI ayoung young oun man who I I irr t takes kes me out occasionally occa occa- n n and I for tor o or r i whom I I have a vertine very ver- UI I-UI tine fine regard I 1 tI II This man mar is 35 I- I pl I I years yea old and although al- al lI 1111 ii though he has had II Ill many chances to N I marry he still is isI I single and claims I the reason why he heis is single is because he has never met the right girl He is a splendid young oung man with good looks morals habits manners and ambition ambition ambition am am- and he also is religious In fact he has practically every characteristic a girl would want in a fellow But I am sorry to toay tolaY say laY ay he is fickle and a flirt lirt He doesn't mean to be but it is because because because be be- cause he has met and knows so many nany different girls that it Is difficult for him to concentrate en m In any anyone one in particular He goes out with girls frequently frequent frequent- ly but as soon as he learns their mode of living and views on life are different from his and that his chances of changing her are very ery slim he considers he is wasting his time and looks for another Sometimes he sees ees a I girl who ho appeals to him going with an odd looking fellow and that makes him feel worse I may maysa sa say the man in question demands a lot of a girl that she be be medium medium medium me me- height between 23 and 26 physically attractive and above all true to her religion I tell teU him he asks too much but he says there are arc dozens and dozens aro around d this city who are eligible and that he had just as aswell aswell aswell well have one of ot them and be Satisfied led Yet there are times when he heays says ays he probably is looking for lor someone who does not exist and he had just as well marry the thet good sensible religious girl who t V does not appeal to him and could never thrill him but who possibly has the characteristics of a good wife and mother and who loves him He realizes that any fellow who marries a a girl for her physical attractions alone is sure to be disillusioned If It he could just find the unattached girl who has some sense and spir- spir itu along with her physical physical phys phys- ical leal beauty he feels sure sure he could faIl In love This man is like a brother to torae totne rae mc and I would like to help overcome his tendency of ot being fickle and a flirt and to help him find the right one as he is surely surely sure sure- I ly worth it Your young man is expecting perfection perfection per per- lection in the girl of his dreams and h having ving known so many and not yet yetto yetto to have found exactly the combination tIn tion he demands makes me think he will wil wili never f find d her And after t er all aU its it's just as well Pity the girl whom he marries and whom he discovers to fall short of the perfection perfection tion he up as any girl would This perfect young man himself is very imperfect though you have so far discovered only that his imperfections imper imper- consist of ot being fickle and anda a flirt Id I'd like to wager that intolerance Into Into- er erance nce and bigotry are two of his greatest faults And they are two things a broadminded woman with charm even oven though she be lacking in the physical perfection he demands de de- de- de mands could not endure If you could only induce him to turn the limelight of criticism against himself himsel fjor or or a period of ot time long enough to take a good inventory of his personal assets and Ii liabilities Ill In wager hed he'd come out in the red Then if it you could only interest him to change his whole point of view regarding true com corn he might be worth trying try try- ing lag to help The you picture paint of him shows me a aman man whose sense of real value is quite distorted and who is lacking in ln that vital quality humor The age at which he has arrived makes it seem teem a little dubious that he will change Pity the girl whom he marries marries marries mar mar- ries because she is a good se sensible sible re religious girl with no physical appeal ap ape ap- ap peal for him PERPLEXING PROBLEM Dear
