things would be chief in wOman's

liancy nor handsome features alone or

whom she cannot respect. And some
thing beside outside appearance is nee
cssary for respect. Only the surface
woman Is caught by eXternals. These
women--5S per cent of them-put love

good husband. They did not believe n

that was about all these women asked

only ordinary manliness in Il husband,
not her0iSm. She asks only the love
Of an ordinary man who is true TO her
and to her home. IF her husband has
brains and large ability SO much the
better. but above all else he must have
strength of character. The American
woman is the most sensible woman in
the world.
