are to be very fashionable. during the.
summer. but let US hope no one will
make the mistake of wearing these,
with tan shoes.

giving very graceful touch.
The countess of Dudley, who is now
one Of King Edwards party at Biar-
ritz, has been elected editor of a new
society weekly for the English aris-
tocracy which Is to appear shortly.
Princesses and duchesses are to fur

commonality but is to be exclusive to
the last degree
A frill of fine white hemstitched
lawn is a dainty accessory to the cloth
bratd-trimmed costume. 1t peeps from
beneath the edges of the narrow vest
and gives hint Of Immaculate fresh
ness that Is very trig and neat.
There seems to be no diminution of
the fancy for lace dyed to match the
costume for trimming cloth gowns.
and surely we may seek long time to
find mode of decoration more de-
servedly popular.
It is quite an art to fit the princess
skirt well by laying the fuliness in
inverted plaits around the waist, but
the effect Is very good when it is we'll
done. This model as well. as the
. snlrred one is worn only by those with
slender figures.
Plating for drop skirt will wear
best if it is cut on the bias.
The Ideal Man.
What is the ideal man?
OF course he does not exist. but
doubtless everybody has his-or most
ly her-ideas on the subject. and n
ten different women defined and de-
scribed their ideal man. there would
be ten different kinds of men described.
= women's magazine recently sent
to 100 married women In various sta
lions of life these two questions:
First: Judging from your expert
ence. what kind of q man should a girl
marry?
Second: What qualities do you
think best fit man for husband?
The replies were interesting. In an
swer to the first question. seventy-fiye
women said they preferred an honest
man; fifty wanted good provider;"
thirty-eight wanted a home-lover;
twenty-three would like man with
self-control: eighteen wanted a man
ly man; fifteen preferred patient
man.
z But why not man with all the quail
tiles combined? No woman wants to
marry dishonest man, it is to be pre-
sumed, so the seventy-five replies first
given may be set aside. No woman
wants other than good provider,"
though good provider might be dis
honest, no home-lover, and not manly,
and might lack patience and self-con-
troll. Self-control and patience are
admirable qualities. and ,abundantly
essential in married man, unless he
is married to the ideal woman, who,
1t is to be feared, does not exist either.
And manly man would certainly en-
body all the other qualities. AS to
the home-lover, no man who is not a
home-lover has much business to be
married If he is not home-lover
he has no right to yoke up with him
self woman who probably is home
lover. but who would not be content
to enjoy her, home alone.
The answers to the second question
showed that nine qualities, all of them
good, were most desired, as follows:
Kindness was mentioned IS times;
strength. 40 times; good habits, IS
times; good disposition, 80 times; in
tellectual companionship, only 20
times; Gommon interest, 81 times;
Christianity, rs times; sympathy. 20
times.
It is to be presumed that the women
who answered these questions valued
the qualities they named above all
others. Thus the women that gave
good habits as her answer preferred
that to kindness, strength, good dis
position, intellectual companionship,
faithfulness, common interest, Chris
tianity and sympathy. Yet none cf
these qualities are complete in them
selves. No man is full, rounded, adj
mirable character who possesses only
one good quality and lot of bad ones.
But each individual has his or her
own ideal of manhood and woman
hood, and the experiment of the mag
az1ne fails because no ideal of human
ity can be expressed in one quality.
The ideal man or woman might have
all good qualities and no bad ones,
and yet be associated with more hui
man folks who would find such uni
form excellence most tiresome.
