The IDEAL HUSBAND.
He aud THE Ideal Wife Don't Make an Ideal



."sOnce upon time so the instruc-
tive fable runs, the ideal husband mar
ried the ideal wife. and everybody fore
saw that they should have an idesl
family, live ideal years, and end in ideal
assurance of future beatitude. They
were so ideal that everybody thought
it superfiuous to give them any we'd
ding presents, for what gifts could add
to the content of an ideal pair? No
body went to the wedding because the
ideal perfection of the man rebulxed
all other men, and the ideal woman's
presence caused all other ladies to feel
somewhat out of the highest fashion.
Duly the ideal pair went to live in an
ideal house in an ideal suburb.
''Straightway il began 70 appear that
the two Projections We're wasted on one
another. The ideal wife couldn't exer-
else her virtues on a husband who had
never fault or a within. He wanted
nothing that he hadn't-he was invar-
iably placid She perceived in him
nothing needing change-no mote in
him, body or mind, on which she
thought she could judiciously employ
her ideal ingenuity.
.'At the end of one week she had
yawned more than in all her previous
life. which had been passed with UNI
ideal or imperfect beings. sad as her
case was. what o. the ideal husband's?"
With a nervous, a fretful, wildly
hilarious, jealous. or a hirtatious
wife his virtues would have shone-but
with one ideally healthy, wise and
good he had no chance to display his
ideal nature. These two were, of
course, too perfect TO even feel like
complaining-they were SO ideal that
they merely recognized that ideal bliss
was bore.
And so they lived till their neigh
bors, wondering why the ideal pair
had not been at the orthodox church.
ventured into their house and found
them opposite one another with their
ideal hands politely covering their
ideal mouths. which were wide open
and apparently rigid, in an amending
ideal yawn-
"In this condition they had been no.
/ body knew how long. but il had fretted
away their ideal patience. When the
doctor closed their ideal jaws the hus-
band hastily said several naughty
words, whereupon his wife remarked:
| 'Bruter and fell into wild weeping.
Then she sought divorce for his cru
city in swearing in her presence, and
/ he took a cross action on account of in
compatibility of temper.
ION this latter ground the court
granted them release, with the sage re-
mark that the first requisite of an ideal
wife or husband is wicked partner.
This impressed them so deeply that she
married an Englishman and he VIA
go-for this was before all ladies be-
came angelic
After they had daily chances to dis
play their ideal dispositions both came
to be more widely than ever known as
the ideal wife and the ideal husband
