How about it — do you men feel you'd be the right husband for Janette, do you girls think you're the perfect wife for Bill? Write, tell us why! Are you one of the women who've heard Bill Lawrence on the air, watched him on television, and said to yourself, "Now why can't I meet a man like that?" Or are you one of the men who've listened to Janette Davis sing a song, seen that pretty face of hers, and sighed enviously, "Now there's a girl! Why don't I ever get introduced to a girl like that?" If you're .one of those, you're not alone — there are countless numbers of you from coast to coast. And each one of you has probably decided, in his or her own mind, exactly the qualifications that make you "just the girl for Bill" or "just the guy for Janette." If you are one of the sorority of Lawrence admirers, perhaps you feel that you could be a help to Bill in his career. Perhaps he appeals to a mother-instinct present in all women. Perhaps you're a good cook and think you'd qualify along the lines of dishes "just like mother used to make." Or perhaps you just like his looks, feel that his way of singing a song makes that song a personal message that you can understand better than anyone else in the world! Among the Janette-admiring fraternity, maybe you feel you're the one who best measures up to that description of the jnan Janette would like to say yes to. Or maybe she brings out the protective feeling, the instinct to shelter a woman that's present in all men. Or perhaps you simply think she's the prettiest girl this side of anywhere, that when she sings a song she's singing it especially for you. Now that you've read Bill Lawrence's story, heard what he has to say about himself as a matrimonial prospect and what he's looking for in that as yet undiscovered girl he will someday marry — do you think you would be a good wife for Bill? Now that you've read Janette Davis' story, heard about the man she dreams of, learned what she wants in a husband — do you think you measure up? If your answer is yes to either of those two questions, won't you wrijte and. Jell Radio Mirror why?
