The men, however, were not interested in the girls' conversational adeptness, so long as they had light complexion, weighed between 110 and 130 pounds, and were about 5 feet 5 inches tall.
Curtis MacDonald, conductor of the men's date bureau, said: "The boys wanted the same kind of girls they always have wanted, girls who were lively, talkative, and easy to look at."
Dolly Mae Brown, head of the bureau, said; "Most of the girls asked for men who had a sense of humor, were courteous and who dressed well."

Soul Mate Idea in Love Scored by Dr. Popenoe
Pittsburgh, May 18—(UP)–Girls who wait for the Prince Charming to appear are likely to be disappointed; according to Dr. Paul Popenoe, director of the Los Angeles Institute of Family Relations.
The dream that somewhere there is a "special soulmate" waiting for everyone is just so much "childish drunk." Dt Popenoe declared here.
"There are nearly 30,000,000 marriages in the United States and each year a million more are added to that number." he said. "Unfortunately, nearly 200,000 of the million married couples in the present year may end in divorce court, and others, though not breaking up the marriage, will be miserable in it."
Dr. Popenoe said the reason for the high divorce rate is that the couples "don't try."
