TIE MAN HE EsyIEs.
There have been but two women In the
world to me-my mother ana my VIE,
both Of them blessed and possessing the
gift OF blessing others. The only man l

spared TO him. The only man I'd like to
be, II | was not myself, is-to parapnrase

My ideal wife would never complain
She would have too much sense for that
She would overlook any minor impeTiec-

A. II. HUMMEL.
HE BELIEVES IN WOMEN.
The ideal husband is the man who be
lieves that women are slowly but surely
coming TO their own, and that II Is
their own 10 work side by side with
men everywhere, for the reason that the
place In which a pure woman may not
be present. no man should ever enter.
The ideal husband is one who holds II
as a sacred article Of faith that IL is not
enough for women to be home-makeTs
but that they must make the world itseii
a larger home. He is a man who has
found out that all the affairs OF tht
world are really family affairs and
hence that they cannot be advantageous
" managed by either sex alone. lie be
lieves that the segregation of the sexes
into different worlds Is an offense
against natures first and highest law
He is a man who gloriiies the vocation
OF motherhood above all others, and be
lieves that the only queen who should
fifty survive is the mother on her rocking
chair throne with a curly headed subject
kneelng by her side. soft hand on It's
forehead, and its sweet voice saying
Now | lay me down 10 sleep"
But he believes that the mother must
be regnant as to the divine decision that
dares invoke another life. and 10 do that
she must be Gods and her own free wo-
man. 10 whom shall never come the an
