A yonug :f,;m ■writeá to JViward W. J3ok ihqniring why so rtuuiy girls seem to prefer the corepnuy of young felio'ws of tilightly blofctod cbaracter - meii wiio bave sera the world - and ni mam marry tbeni, iu face f (he fact th;t their i aro kuown to tlier.i. ín The Ladies' Home Jourual Mr. Bok, its editor, jnakes thisreply: "Girls - tbat-i is, the right kiiid oi' girls - do uct prefer [ the coinpnny of youug ruou of this sort. j Doubtless, yon havo come across j stances where thi.s rule has been otherwise; so have I. Buc it is all in the seeminf;, and iiüfc in thoreality. Depend npon oiio thing - girls have as high an estímate of purity in laan as men have of purity in woman. "There re, of cotirse, cases to the contrary, bnt these are few. Where girls ' marry men who are known to have led what is called a 'worldly life, ' it is i more generallydue to a ing of facts or to ignóranos than people imagine. There is a type of girl who finds a peculiar satisfaction iu the conqnestof a man wlio has 'séen the world' and then comes to her as (he one woman of all her ses who can make hhn happy. ! This sometimes pleases her vanity and love of conquest, but she is not many years older before she discovers that 3he has satisíied those feelings at a very high cost. "There is another type of girl who rather faneies a rúan who is what is ! called. 'fast.' Bnt that sort of girl is i painfnJly ignorant of what is rneant by j that word as applied to a man. If she j were not, she would be very apt to change the adjective to 'vulgar. ' And as she maturos she finds this out. It is only yonng men of upright lives who can hope to win the favor and love of girls of high motives, the girls who make the best wives. If, at times, girls I seem to favor yonng men of another kind, the glamour is simply transitory. It is rare, very rare, that a girl 's better instincts do not lead her to the higher grade of yotuig men. An npright life neverfails of reward, and of thehighest reward, from the hand of woman."
