An authority on mankind has given his
views on the sort of men that make the
best husbands. Among the really nice
ones he Classes the man who is fond of
fishing, the lawyer and the all around
Journalist. He does not enthuse over
the popular doctor as a husband, and a
musical genius or a man of letters gives
him cold chills and shudders. The an
thor. he says, is so fond of his fine sem
fences that he is disagreeable when the
baby cries and makes himself generally
od;ous about his food, the noise of the
children and any domestic infelicities
that may come along. The musician
cares for little except his art, and the
Wife IS often secondary to the claims of
the prima donna or the sympathetic
creature whose soul is as full of melody
as his own.
All in all the good journalist seems to
nave the most strong points. He is a
bft of a philosopher, is likely to be prac-
teal, make the best of what cannot
be helped and is full of tentative The
lawyer is good to have in the house. He
is likely to be alert, a good judge of
human nature, a good talker, and quite
as fond OF listening as of hearing the

Nature abhor a vacuum, and if there
are no small vices it is pretty safe to
say that there may be some largesones
that will be pretty difficult to deal with.

The fact cannot be disputed that no
single factor in modern life is doing SO
much to degenerate our young woman
hood as this mad race on the part of
girls. impelled by necessity or not. to ga

like strong words to the ears of some.
but to those who are really cognizant of
the immensely of the evil results that
are being wrought they win sinply fit
the case and not go beyond it. In. alto
gether too many of our commercial and
industrial establishments, stores and
factories, the men into whose hands is
given the power to employ and control
girls are not fit, from a moral stand
point, to herd swine.
And yet thousands of our young wom-
en- are allowed to go from their homes
to work under the influence Of these men
and in the atmosphere Initiated by them.
And why? Simply because it is consid-
cred more respectable to be employed
in an Office, store or factory than to be
engaged in domestic service. The very
word servant has a. faint about it
that the majority of the young women
dislike and from which they fee. But
what else are they in business estab-
lishments thar servants, pure and SIM
pie? There can be no difference but an
ina ginary one. That is all. Far less lem

women employees than is shown, as a rule,
in our homes, to domestic help-infnitely
