KINGDOM OF HEART and HOME
Ideal Sovereigns Omaha Teachers Would
Have Govern Them.
MEN NEITHER STICKS NOR MONKEYS.
The Woman Who Idoilzes a Big, Red
Faced Man and Lady Who
AdOres an Adonis with
Perfumed Locks.

There is molder of youthful ideas in the
Dodge school who has mentally painted to
herown satisfaction an ideal man. She has
fully her own share of the good looks of the
city; is neither blonde nor a brunette
neither short nor tall young nor old, but she
has pair of fine, expressive eyes, beautiful
hair white well-shaped hand and u slender,
graceful figure. She does not want hus-
band and has no intention of getting one: but
Tor the clinging-vine specimens who must
have an oak to cling to she recommends some
thing like the following:
"He must be a man, not q stick nor a
monkey with cane and an eye-glass He
must have some brains in his head and know
how to use them. He must have money be-
cause he is not a man among men in this age
of the world unless he has. He must have
position and independence and nerve.
He. must carry the purse himself
and not bother his wife with
his financial difficulties, if he
has any. He must be polite and attentive to
his wife, and in public and at home treat her
as any gentleman would lady. But, above
all things, he must not be softly He must
attend to his business and not make a Miss
Molly OF himself by interfering with the
house nor the milliners bills. He should be
man that he might remain at home or 90
away and his wife would always feel that he
was at all times and would always return to
her the samoan elegant well groomed, well
poised and well regulated gentleman
In the same school there is young lady
with snap in her eyes and IA firmness in her
lips which must Indicate something to the
wlfe-hunter who has different ideal. She
says:
Il hate goody -goody men. hate dignifed,
straight-laced old sticks and j hate weak
minded, driveling idiots who can't look atca
beer sign without getting drunk j want

without borrowing money or buying furniture
on the installment plan. want him TO take
drink when he feels like it, smoke cigar
when he wants one and If he feels like it

have bank account big enough to buy new
clothes for emergency occasions and / don't
want him TO spend every minute he is not at
work in dawdling around the house,
AT lizard school there is a lady from whose
cheeks the worries and yeXations of several
terms OF struggle with undeveloped minds
has worn the first warm blush of youth and
who is tired 10 death Of the monotonous
drone Of the schoolroom the inky fingers and
chalby dresses and the unutterable wearint IS
OF day-in-and-out drudge for daily bread.
Her ideal Is wooden man who would love
her alones and spend his time how and where
he saw fit He must give her liberty, riches
and oceans of time 10 loiter under the trees
soothed by the breath Of the flowers
and the music of the birds He may be q
statesman or a brewer it makes no difference
10 her so that he surrounds her with music
and beauty
A serious-faced girl in the same building
