wife-seeking men are an unusual, if
not an unknown quantity. As a general
thing men get married because they fall
in love. not because they deliberately
plan the matrimonial experiment. Occa-
sionally an ambitious man viii cast about
in his phlegmauc mind making mental
list Of his lady friends and light upon
the one he judges, either from her good
look, brains or prestige will be the best
partner for the prominent career, planned
out for himself; the home relations are
not considered, and with men OF that
temperament those relations are not mat
ters of much consequence. Their office Is
their stronghold, and they get in the way
of having their orders obeyed there, and it
is the same at home Then there is the
big-hearted type OF man who has worked
hard, eschewed matrimony until he has
passed the sentimental (aIso impecuuious)
age, and now he can afford it without
grinding, wants his own home, his wife
and his board around which his men
friends may gather This last desire is
needless. however, for when he gets a con-
genial wife he Goes not miss his men
friends is quite relieved in fact to be free
from them. A man Of this kind also deIib-
erately scans the social crop of prospect
i've wives and while he wants a IovabIe
woman with soft brown or blue eyes TO
look with loves light into his. a tender
pink-and-white face, snowy white teeth.
and of course a kissable mouth; while he
wants, and positively expects all of these.
he just as positively expects his wife
when he gets her-to run the house as
if by magic. His meals viii always be
served hot, and just when he wants them.
He viii never hear a whisper Of petty bills
and pestiferous domcstics He sees Wis
ions in his matrimonial future of coming
home OF rainy winters evening to his
snug reading room. in which he may
smoke If he please, his Turkish slippers
in convenient reach, and his mecrschaum
ready to light. Tho evening papers, latest
magazines and periodicals on his table,
and a sympathetic and cOngeuial cOmrade
in his wife He wants all of these things,
and expects them. And it IS in fact, what
he should have. Providing the money, he
naturally expects the wife to see to the
comforts for which he pays, and which
fall TO her share TO direct. But does this

tionate quicK-tempered, masculine man

Is she in or out long after his return
home from the days work? Does she
order the house without disturbing his
equinimity? Is she a good housckeeper
a good marketer, and a good fnancier, Is
she should be? OF course, "a woman with
an ordinary amount of common sense
can. after a few years experience be
come fairly good housewife but the
men are clamOrins for practical wives
who can Immediately take hold Of the
house-helm ana steer clear of all obstacles
in talking over this subject recently in
a group of young women. one remarked
that when a woman marries IL would be
time enough to learn. and that IL would
come to her by intuition to know how.
or at least to learn how, 10 order her own
house. Another young woman. who by
the way, is noted for the pith and whole
someness Of her remarks, said she thought
1t hardly fair to learn at the expense and
discomfort OF the husband. This first year
of learning may invite inconvenient re-
suits, make countless thousands Of young
husbands mourn, spoil his erstwhiie sweet
disposition, and blunt the edge Of love S
young dream. All Of which is the prelim-
mary to this advice 10 you, fair damsels,
10 look TO your domestic accomplishments.
This amiable duty falls to the share of
the solcitous mammas. as much as does
the ordering OF the wardrobe or trous-
seau.
