Plain talk

to Mr. Smith

before he plunges ..

O you've got engaged, Mr. Smith? ¡And you'd like to ask me a few questions? All right. But be- fore you weigh-in, let me tell you one or two home truths.

To begin with. I suppose you realise that you're taking what is the most important step in your whole life? (I'm repared to argue that your choice of a career is less impor- tant to you than your choice of a wife.)

I suppose you don't want to into marriage without rush knowing what it really means? And you've no wish to be swept off your feet by a pretty face with no grey cells behind it, have you?

You've got to live with that face probably for many, many years, and it's going to change and become less attractive. So if you're marrying merely be- cause you've been attracted by physical boauty, where are you going to be when that's gone?

*Unless there's something more lasting behind, such as real affection for you, real com- panionship, and enough intel- lect to help you in your difficul- ties, one day you're going to find that you're married to a all know vacuum, And

we

what nature thinks of a vacuum, don't we?

Now consider these facta.

IF

some one suggested to you that you should throw up your present job-and-

go into another line of business, of I'm sure you'd take days thought and all kinds of advice before you came to a final deci- sion, wouldn't you?
