CAR FAVORED.
Mrs. Stevens Says Cinderalla-Mrs George Gould
Has Composite Ideal, Mrs. a. NJ. Palmer
Adores Claude Mslnote and Napoleon IS Not
Forgotten.

"Who are the ideal lovers? "Many
men are of many minds" truly, and no
two answers 10 my question were quite
the same. The range was long one,
from the lovers OF 600 years ago, wnen
Dante and Beatrice and Patriarch and
Laura sang iove songs to each other,
down to our own century, when queen
Victoria chose her Prince with a little
bunch of violets, and Robert and Eliza
beth Browning lived for each other In
sunny Italy, and the Gar of all the Rus
sias found time on his death bed TO plan
a birthday gift for the beautiful wife
who was his sweetheart through
ouArter of a century Of married life.
Here are the answers, as varied as the
faces and the minds OF the persons who
gave them to me:
QUEEN VICTORIA HIS IDEAL
"You won't think that l am affecting
the English, or that l do not know
numbers of delightful American lovers, "
said Ward McAlister little while be-
fore his death, in answer to my ques-
ton, when l tell you that to my mind,
the most perfect lovers 10 song or story
were Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
DO you remember how the story oil
their courtship goes? was reading 1t
inst the other day. 1t was high time
for the young Queen to choose her nus
band, and the Lord High Chamberlain
arranged for a magnificent state Dali, at
which all of the eligible suitorS' should
be present.
Dancing in the minuet near the
Queen was the dashing, handsome
voung Prince Albert, and be alone OF all
the goodly company found favor In
her sight. She took from her bosom
bunch of yiolsts and as she
passed him in the dance he
found the flowers pressed into
his hand. There was but one meaning
in the dainty gift, and that was the
Young girl Queen had chosen him Tor
her lord and lover. Isn't that pretty
bit OF romance? But best of all, they
we're overs through all their happy
welded life"
WHAT MRS. GEORGE GOULD THINKS.
my ideal lover is rather composite,
said Mrs. George Gould. IF In one
man could be found the ardor and
beauty OF Romeo, the daring OF Marc
Antony without his treachery, the hon
esty OF Petrarch, the wisdom and learn
ing OF Dante aud the physical strength
OF Leander. who breasted the Heiles-
| pont so many times, think that man
would be the ideal lover. "
