things, tolerant of faults in others; and
although possessed of what is called
SOUL she should not underrate the me-

we'll go together.
''Then if she be of a refined. sensitive
nature. with good intellectual capacity,
she should, when nodded to her hus.
bands nature, prove to be an ideal
wife.
TOO much stress cannot be laid upon
the fact that a man should look for a
woman with somewhat similar tastes to
those possessed by himself. Many a
noble woman has been rendered miser-
able all her days by marriage with a
man of entirely opposite tastes and in
clications.
Take an instance. A young man,
good-natured, manly. and altogether a
good sort of fellow, whose reputation as
an athlete is prOverbial, but whose in
tellectual capacity is not of very first
class, marries woman of a highly-sen-
sitive and artistic nature, and the con-
sequences are disastrous.
Though both respect each other. she
feels it deeply because he does not
evince a keen interest in her work, and
he on his part feels the same want OF
unison.
"Such couples cannot be happy to,
gether.
Therefore it is. in my opinion, abso-
lutely necessary that, to be idyllic, a
woman should to degree harmonic in
her tastes with her husband; otherwise,
be She good woman as she may, her nus
band will not see in her his ideal"
A WOman's Estimate of Wifely
Qualities.
A woman writes: "My ideal of a
wife is helpmate in the true sense of
thei,word; one who is on an equality Gas
far as possble) with her husband, who
can greet him with smile after hard
days work. who welcomes his friends
as her friends, and has the home SO
bright and cosy that "a fellow doesn't
know"
"a He Will Never Marry.
"Reg" writes: 'In my opinion an
ideal, wife should be beautiful, fascinat-
ing. ood-tempered, lovable, sympa-
thetic. musical. artistic. literary, not
Jealous, and thoroughly domestcated.
When | find woman possessing all
these qualities shall marry her,"
He Wants Musical Wife.
DOM writes: Besides being thor
oughly domestlcated a wife should be
cheerful and musical (for music is a
great element in home). and she should
know just little about the topics of
the day, in order that she may be a
pleasant companion for her husband as
well as his hOusekeeper."
He Signs for a Grandmother.
"Ton Dhu" requires as a wife some
and brave, cheerful, bright, industrious
clever and well-educated, but notch,
not blue stocking liable to cook we'll
and to sew and darn neatly.
In his opinion, walking on the darning
of the modern school is like tramping
over plowed field on dark night.
Rather Crusty.
an" writes: II make no mistake
when / say an ideal wife is one who can
make chump chop palatable. AS for
the soul in the modern girl, again say
she has none. ALI that your nineteenth
century young people think of is love-
making pure and simple-bread and
cheese and love-"
Wants a Widow.
"R. N" wants to marry an economi-
cal widow with whom he is acquainted.
Her week runs this way:
On Sunday morn q simple joint
On Monday fricassee;
On Tuesday eve as curried veal
We have it served at tea;
Then daily, Dunctually at two
That joint comes up as Irish stew.
