THE IDEAL MAN.
Who He Is, What He Is and Where to
Find Him.

Find Him.
Tie following is the response to a
toast at the Philomathians, woman s
club of Cincinnati, by DR.. Ida B. Ruli-
son:
''The ideal man is a married man, Of
course, and he gives all his salary to
his wife. He belongs to no lodge, club
or building association to keep him out
late at night. He carries no latohkey.
HE permits his wife to run the
house after her own fashion, and he
makes her his trusted confidant on all
occasions.
HE neither smokes, chews, drinks,
swears nor scolds, and he always takes
care of the babies when his poor wife is
nervous and tired, and especially when
she goes to her club.
"He does not live in this neighbor-
hood, however, he dwells only-in the
imagination. "-Cincinnati Enquirer.

People who knew Frances Folsom as

her marriage. Mrs. Cleveland has ac
quired additional weight almost imper-

does not detract in the slightest degree
from her charming presence, and many

carriage the added weight was almost
necessary.
