A HUSBAND
Tall, Punctual, Pipe -Smoker
With Hazel Eyes: Apply
Marceline Day
BY RUTH M. TILDESLEY
A few months ago Buster Collier announced through the pages of this magazine that he was in the market for a wife. And he gave his specifications. Only a basement bargain counter can understand what his life was from then on. Now another screen star tries the same means of finding a mate — only this time it is a girl. Gentlemen: on your mark! — Editor s Note.
IF you are a man answering the following description, apply to Miss Marceline Day, Hollywood, California. Cross your fingers, clutch your rabbit's foot, and squint at 'the new moon over your left shoulder. You may be the lucky man i
For lovely Miss Day, entering her sweet twenties, feels that matrimony is in the offing and that if she can just find the right man:
"He can have any color eyes except jet black or light blue," she generously concedes. "Pale blue has no character, you feel as if you're looking through a window glass at nothing in particular. Black eyes belong to villains. Hazel eyes are perhaps my favorites.
"But he mustn't be a blond. They're insipid — men or women — and I'm not casting reflections on my sister Alice. She's a self-made blonde, so she doesn't count. Chestnut brown hair, straight, wavy or curly, is my choice.
"He can be clean-shaven or not, according to the man. If his upper lip is long, by all means a mustache. Not long eyelashes. No pretty boy; I want a real he-man.

parties. If only people who drink knew how disgusting they appear to others. You can't help thinking, 'What a dreadful fool that-fellow is; and I always imagined he was clever.'
"But, of course, you can't expect a man to stay home forever and one must entertain sometimes, so I would like my husband to be a gracious host. The kind who looks after his guests' comfort and makes them feel they're having a marvelous time. Doesn't sit in the corner or go off with a man crony and let his wife do all the entertaining.
"Above all, he must be neat. I don't mean I object to cigarette ashes around the house. But personally neat. If he doesn't have a valet, he'll have to learn to pick up after himself — not expect me to do it.
"I love the smell of a pipe. Cigarette smoke I tolerate. But cigars, never. Most atrocious odor in the world and no (Continued on page 112)
