Real and Ideal Wives.

Owing to a wise prodigaity of good in ma.
ture, or wielY imposed delusIon in men
(says a writer in an Engli,b maeazine), ideal
wives are much more common than ideal
husbands. They are MT found in every
house, nor indeed in every street; but there
are few of them in country and town, and
we all know some of them. They are not
our wives; but, unfortunately, the wives of
others. Our wives may have extended cata-
logues of charms and virtues, bur ideal hon
ors do not sit upon them. Men are more en-
thusastic and given to dreaming than wo-
men, and hence the excess OF female over
male perfection. Ii the power of idealizing
were equal in both sexes, the chances are
they W Juld hate one another. As it is, wo-
men are not in the least ashamed of being
called angels and enchantresses. Ii men will
60 astray in this wav, it is no business of
women to set them right. They are little
given to extravagant estimates themselves,
but they are hungry for hyperbolical praise.
They sill demurcly, and smile the last shred of
mans reason away, while he assu,es them
that they combine all the charms of pagan
godde,sess and all the virtues of Christian
saints. If men, with their warm and capri
cious imagnations, choose to place them Oh
thrones while the real sovereigns are out tor
a stroll. they don't care. They do the hon
ors as though they were at least the heirs-ap
parent; ard they suffer no more qualms OF
canscierce than if they had but just estab-
lished their claim to privilege flom "hlch
| they had long been unfairly alenated.
Ideal wives are of low sta ure and extreme
| ly fair. They are soft and gentle N manner
| and slow of motion. They have blue eyes,
| golden hair, rich meZzo-soprano voices, and
| wear moderate dress mproyers. Their hair
and its color are their own; and they tear
strong men, but like to look at them trom
