home alone if necessary, and generally
save busy man bother. She must not
ask too many questions, nor make too
many suggestions. She must speak
the truth and never stoop to deception.
She must have brains and self-reliance,
yet look up to man and depend upon
! him; her heart must be impulsive, yet
| in subsection to the judgment; she
must love enough, but not too much;
she must possess refinement, good man
ners, be delicate about receiving or
asking favors; be punctual, never
break an engagement; she must not be
/ too good to drink glass of wine, to
tell good story if the occasion war
rant it, yet she must not be carried off
her feet; she must be able to work both
physically and mentally, and be
ashamed TO follow in the wake Of idle
women. She must not be satisfied
short of a distinct achievement; she
must believe that women were made
/ for something better and higher than
simply TO be charming and accept ia
vors from men.

question about the ideal woman:
''Well, she is q jolly good fellow. L

one man who was absolutely honest,

There is little to explain. like the
woman who is jolly and who has bit
