Show HEIRESS FINDS A REAL MAN Miss Lilla B. Gilbert, heiress to the $15,000,000 estate left by her father, H. Brandhall Gilbert, has found her ideal man and her engagement to Howard Price Renshaw, son of a millionaire mil-lionaire manufacturer of Troy, has been announced. Miss Gilbert, who is one of the most beautiful and popular young women of New York society, has been wooed by many men, but none of them was accepted because he did not meet the specifications of a perfect husband, as laid down by Miss Gilbert herself. "How much better it would be," Miss Gilbert is reported to have said, "if every girl would carefully formulate formu-late her ideal and then paste It up prominently where the right man could come along and see it. What a lot of trouble and disappointment would be saved." Here is the type Miss Gilbert insisted in-sisted upon: He must be 6 feet tall, a brunette s - . , a -v. vJ - y P and fond of athletics, a good rider and fond of animals; clean shaven, with a firm jaw and ears close to his head; a Republican and a money maker. He must have thick curly hair not red over his left ear, a straight nose, large and intelligent eyes, but riot soulful ones. ' He must have decided ideas on the raising of poultry and pigs. He must like lemon with his tea and eat ice cream with a fork, like Robert Chambers' stories; dance the turkey trot and wear his clothes like John Drew does; swear like a gentleman and be gentlemanly even in his cups. He must aot wear pink neckties or jewelry, or ever have been really In love. |
