DR.. Chauncey Mitchell Depew,
when asked to describe his ideal wo-
man, said: "My ideal woman must
not be a great talker, but have that
tact which keeps conversation going
about her. have recently been i'm
pressed by two types of women. One,
woman of great intellectual abilities,
who absolutely bored me in an hour,
and the other woman Of no apparent
greatness Of mind, who said very
little, but what she did say she said
very well, and who interested me for
hours. So, you see, my ideal woman
must never let know all that she
knows. l must always be in doubt as
to her mental possibilities.

"My ideal woman," said Colonel

ride a horse and fire gun. like to
see a woman tall, and she must have
a pair of good shoulders. You see,

they are perfect sportsmen. / do not
require the other finer accomplish
ments. like them to be able to play,
sing and dance, but never do l want
the woman who is my ideal to become
namby-pamby. Let her have all the
womanly qualities, but l want her
healthy, with great love for life in
the air. It's what our women need.
They must go out more, and tennis
and golf, with plenty of rowing and
and driving and riding, will make
them more than ever the ideal crea-
lures that they should be-"

importunely.
"Yes'm," said the obliging clerk,
proceeding to call her attention to all
sorts and conditions of andirons, coal
scuttles, wood baskets, pokers, tongs,
bellows and the like. She looked at
them all ddbiously.
'tAre these real old fashioned ones?"
she demanded, and the clerk told her
a tale to the effect that they were all
copies of the most ancient fireplace
utensils. Tnen he was seized with
bright idea.
"Why don't you buy crane?" he
asked. "That would give an old
fashioned air to the fireplace"

woman Indignantly. "We're not set
