IT do not see why I should be different
from other girls" said young maiden OF
10, whose mother was urging her to fit
herself for some self-sustaining profess
sion.
81 would rather have a tea and come
out like the rest of my friends" and this
voices the general sentiment. Girls expect
to marry and be taken care of, and their
parents hope that they will, and neither
feel that the question Of self-support need
be faced before it is imminent
"A fellow" according to the New Or
leans Picayune, said the foot
ball hero with the chrysanthe-
mum hair to the girl in the
zouave Jacket, has got to be awfully
particular when he goes to get married,
unless he means to throw himself away.
There are lots of girls who are nice
enough to have fun with, but when a fell
low means business he wants to look about
him bit. and think it over. It's an i'm
portant subject, and I've given it my con-
sideration and made up my mind as to
what l shall expect and demand in the wo-
man marry. In the first place, she must
be pretty. That's of course. Catch me
marrying any old trump of a woman. She
must be the kind of a woman l would be
proud to introduce to the fellows, you
know, and bit of a swell, too. 1 hate
dOwdy women, who never know what TO
table.
''She must know how to dress well, too
and not be extravagant about it, either.
The kind that know how to make a big
show on little money. Tt takes so much
for man to live on now, with clubs and
athletics and-er-all that, that nobody
but millionaire can afford to make his
wife much of an allowance, and a man
doesn't want a wife who is always rum
ming up bills for fa.l-lals.
''Of course, she must be educated and
accomplished and have seen something
of the world. None of your Maud Null
lers, and simple village maidens for me-
thanks. But heaven preserve me from
the woman who knows more than her hus-
band, and wants to air her opinions. And
a witty woman. A woman who knows
how to tell stories that people listen to-
That's the very worst sort. And there are
plenty of them, too. Why, I've met wo-
men-taken 'em down to dnner-who told
stories that kept the table in a roar, and
nobody listened to a word l said about Jim
Scott, our quarter back. Capital story it
was, too, about Jim. 1 think a woman
ought to take all her opinions from her
husband, and think as he does. She ought
to draw him out and defer to his judg-
ment. Men are better able to Judge you
know, of things than women. Their
minds are er-trained-er in college, you
know.

so that when l come home l won't be

for her to be ready to go out to the play.
or some function, or if | am tired, to talk
to me, or read to me, or sing for me- But
she must keep all the working of the
household machinery out of sight
81 should like her to be athletic enough
to ride wheel when [ want to go, but
not one of the bloomer women that are
forever scorching about. They are hor-
rid, and disgusting, but should expect her
to be interested in out door sports, and
willing to take a hand now and then. OF
course, she must be devoted to me, but not
one of the kind that always expect you to
be home by 10 o'clock, or to give an account
of every hour. That would make me
tired. OF course, a woman's place is in
her home. and l shouldn't want her going
about without me to places. But that's
entirely different.
And what" inquired the girl in the
zouave Jacket anxiously, would you offer
this paragon in return for al these vir-
tues2"
