American men have better teeth than men in any other co country This is partly because we have such e excellent dentists but als also because even in the schools children are taught to take care of their teeth I was also struck by the tremendous contrast between the American boys and the soldiers of other countries because of i their health and vigor of course they had not undergone the many years of hardships that the others had suffered suffered- this must be taken into r account American men men have none of the floweriness ess that t use use in their compliments m but they are ate

dont don't be be- be lieve she cares particularly whether he heis heis heis is blond or brunette Plain girls suffer a great deal at this age for they dont don't have the opportunities ties for emotional contacts that their prettier sisters have I dont don't believe that homely boys suffer much they much they are right at the strutting age and they can always get some sortie girl to beau After 21 or 22 however young women hive h ve more serious things to worry about Whether a man is blond blondo o or brunette or or five foot eight or six foot one doesn't mean very much in their lives

approached As she is now in the throes of producing another it might have been expected that sh she would regard the question of whether ladies preferred blonds or brun brunettes as rather an annoying

hesitancy in her reply when she was interviewed in her mahogany-furnished mahogany office Oh I prefer dark men Decidedly she exclaimed with a contagious laugh They are much more interesting than blonds To me they have always seemed so much more sympathetic and under under- standing It It may may be because by chance most of my men associates have been dark and I have always found that they had a avery avery avery very fine understanding of women Besides Besides Be Be- e- e sides they are so much more dependable than blonds Miss Boland doesn't agree with you She thinks that blond men are are the more dependable and sincere she was told Did Mary say that she smiled Well that's funny but come to think of it she does prefer blonds She is isone isone isone one of my best friends and it never struck me before Being blond herself you would imagine that she would prefer prefer prefer pre pre- fer dark men I know she was a great Valentino fan The majority of the most p popular pular actors actors actors ac ac- ac- ac tors are dark John Barrymore Alfred Lunt Basil Rathbone are all very dark They typify romance But that isn't isn't- why I like dark men I like them be be- cause they
