HUSBANDS ARE IN CLOVER.
More Girls Than Boys Born in Uru-
quay and the Men Are
Pampered.

A South American visitor described
Uruguay as a paradise for husbands.
Men are in considerable minority, for
although the great war. which carried
off the majority OF the masculine popu-
lation, occurred several years ago. ma
ture has not yet corrected the deficiency,
says Cassells Journal.
Many more girls than boys are born,
with the result that men are everywhere
in great request, and when woman gets
husband she does her utmost to take
care of him.
He leads life of ease and freedom,
takes his meals whenever he chooses.
and is never asked to trouble himself
with domestic affairs His wife thinks
nothing too good for him, and he is PAM
pered and petted in every way.
While this is, of course, delightful
state of things for the married and
marrying men, Uruguag is danger
.ous land for those who. being bachelors,
desire to remain so. They have not only
to "beware of the vidders,' like Mr.
Weller senior. but of the unmarried
women. Indeed, it may be said that
to Uruguay girl every year is Leap
Year!
