her as an inferior to be trOdden upon
nor an idol to be worshiped, but as his
real friend and chosen comrade to be
treated as an equal. He will conf1de
in his wife his business successes and
reverses, SO that she will know as well
as he when 1t Is appropriate to IN
dulge in a sealskin cloak. The family
pocket book will not be confined to
the trousers pocket. but the wife will
take freely from 1t for such purposes as
she deems desirable. The ideal hus-
band will not deaden his energies by
the use Of narcotics nor stimulate them
to ruinous excitement by alcoholic bev-
erages. He will not tell vulgar stories
even at q political meeting. He Will
keep his thoughts and deeds as free
from impurity as he expects his wife
to. He will make his sons respect wo-
men by force of q fathers example. He
will have some active business and
work hard at 1t. He will sometimes
play and work hard at that. He will
not hinder but urge forward his wife
in all efforts which tend to bring great

helpfulness to others. He will work
for equal suffrage and be his proudest

Although he will always appear to ad-

ABOUT DUE NOW:
OF all the jokes the dearest
That hang on memory's wall,
The old, old joke of the summer girl
1t seemeth best of all.
The ships have passed in the night time;
Big sleeves are getting passe;
Trilby has gone to the bow-wows,
And boomers have had their day.
We look with longing fondness
At what we spurned last fall,
And the old. old joke of the summer girl
Seemeth the best of all.
Writing upon the same theme in the
same excellent journal, Mrs Henry Sol
ONION, another gifted resident Of the
western metropolis, says: I'VE are told
that international marriages cement
the cordial relationship between ma
tions. The fact is that even cousins oc-
cupying thrones fly at each others
throats for strip of land, and al
though innumerable ties exist in Eur
ope, the whole world will be convulsed
with war at any moment when one ma
tion Seizes the smallest imaginable ad-
vantage. The only benefit derived so
far is the interesting reading matter
furnished us by the newspapers, and
we doubt that any as yet transmitted
will prevent the enforcing of the Mon
roe doctrine. The only result we can
positively predict Is the purchase of
more foreign gowns or the possible re-
naming of bonnets and hats. The ideal
American girl should be filled with en-
thusiasm for our American institutions,
for the democratic spirit pervading the
atmosphere Of our beloved land, for the
flag that stands for the nobility which
honest labor confers. If she is not
then her education has either been neg
lected or has failed. She should have
learned that love depends not upon sta
tion, but upon character, and she would
pay her tribute to the man who by his
own efforts and god-given talents has
won for himself a place. She would
reverence the individual whose own
power makes him the superior Of any
man whose remote ancestors may have
bled on battlefields and gained honor
and lands, which their descendants
have squandered in RIGHTEOUSNESS, and
In what among poorer and more ignor-
ant classes would be called crime, men
whose past history spells ruin and
degradation to posterity. She must
know that while 1t may seem q
triumph to dazzle her companions, un-
less marriage is built upon strong love,
trust, admiration and respect her hap
piness rests upon quicksand, and
though she may wear the coronet and
the family diamonds and be the mother
of the heir she will some day envy
the poorest tenant on her estate"
