Blueprint for the kind of man Janette will say "yes" to: about six feet tall, with blue eyes, black hair.
What I Want in a Husband
By JANETTE DAVIS
Tbey called her "little mother" at home — and she still is!
When I sang "I Want to do Homework" on the show recently, everybody was very nice about the way I did it. They said, "That was good going — you put a lot of imagination into it, made it sound as if you really meant it."
That made me laugh. I didn't have to use imagination to put real meaning into those words. All I had to do was think what I want out of life and the emotion came through, Because what I want more than anything else in the world is a home.
I don't mean that I am having housing trouble. I have a very comfortable 'apartment. When I say "home" I mean a happy marriage — because what is a home without a husband?.
This isn't any vague rdmantic dream such as every girl has about her future. I know exactly what I want. I also know what I don't want, which is almost as important. I could draw you a blueprint of the kind of a marriage I expect to have. I even know what the husband I want will probably look like, though his looks aren't as important as his temperament and his background and his age.
The kind of man I want to say "yes" to probably will have black hair and blue eyes and stand about six feet. He will be tliirty or a year or so older. I have two reasons for picking that age.
In the first place, I think it is a shame for a man and a girl to rush into marriage almost before they can vote. I have seen too many very young couples get married only to discover in a few years that they have grown up in quite different directions. In so many cases, both are wonderful people — not a thing wrong with either one except that they were no longer right for each other. {Continued on page 81)
