ATLANTA Cons stitution,
A lot of young girls We're dcscrih-
nC their ideal heroes the other day,
when pretty young woman, some
seasons out and known to be decid-
edly fastidious, declared that, atter
a critical study of mankind, she
found 1t decidedly easier to describe
the kind of man that she wouldn't
marry than the kind OF one she
would.
"What do you think Is the worst
sort of man to marry?" asked the
other.
"Weil, | scarcely know. All sorts
Of mean men make mean nus
bands; dlssipatcd mon, selfish men,
uufaithful men, cross men, Jealous
men, stingy men. Why, | could
go on naming men with disagreea'
| bic characteristics forever. | believe,
/ however, that the worst fnte on
earth would be to marry a rich man
with mean, stingy, little soul. y

"But | don't believe any man
would be so strict" said the senti-
mental girl.
"Nou don't? We'll, you just
haven't watched mean husbands as
have. Why, I knew II woman
who married one of those rich, mean
men, and when she wanted to give
some of her old clothes TO some poor
relatives he ninde her pack them all
up and sent them out TO his planta-
ton, where he sold them to his
/ negroes for good sum. lie
would give her as many fine clothes
as she wanted, for he liked To
have his wife appear we'll, but
she didn't care for dress, and she
