Ain't Love
What The Big Idea Is
On Monday was printed the first of this gay, informative series by
KATHERINE TOWNSEND": She said: "Our personalities are largely determined by a system of dynamos known as the ductless glands.
"A different gland, or perhaps combination of glands, dominates each of us. It leaves its mark in every physical detail."
And that means, she said, that you'll get nowhere at all in the pursuit of love unless you know the rules!
* *
This series will help you check up on your own gland type. More than that, it will tell you quite a lot about the girl you met at the party last night or the young man who is anxious to meet you again next Saturday.
To-day Katherine Townsend deals with girls whose postpituit- ary gland rules their lives.
