A model husband prefers the society
of his wife and children to that Of
clnb, opera or dance, and when his
wife shares in these recreations they
are pleasure to him, when she 10
absent they cease to amuse.
A model husband is not only tender
and kind, be is manly and brave. It
is a pitlful sight to see strong, we'll.

man who never had an aspiration
higher than his stomach; who whines
when ne is hungry and grunts when
he Is fed.
A model husband must be an honest
man; not only honest with his fellow
men, thus keeping his commercial
reputation above reproach. but honest
in paying his obligations to his
family. When he allows vice and
dissipation to rob him of his man
hood and selfrespect he cheats his
wife out of her legal rights.
Z Model husbands as q rule are not
the outcome circumstances, but
they are natural products. A kind,
loving son will become, after mar.

arrogant son will grow into tylani.

loves himself better than anyone else,
and his wife will always occupy .

their opinions clash, and the happiness

model husband is not necessarily
one of the kissing kind, who never
enters his house or leaves it without
kissing his wife, and then amuses his
associates by saying that his wife

and as kiss has less commercial
value it suits both Iarties.
We believe in the existence of mod
ell husbands, in truth we have known
great, noble, self.sacrificing men who
would scorn to impose on any ceaturs
dependent upon them for care and
protection. Yet we are skeptical of
the abundance Of such men, and we
too often find q vast gulf between the
real and the ideal which cannot be
bridged by human prayers or human
tears. Some men may run we'll for
season, then drop their masks at in
tervals; later these are laid aside re-
vealing the true character of man.
Then the beautiful bubble bursts
and the rainbow tints vanish in mid

Herbert Spencer. who is the best
authority on biological truths, thinks
that the eventual mixture Of the
varieties of the race will produce in
America q finer type Of man than has
heretofore existed in orr world, more
plastic, more adaptable, more capable
of undergoing the notifications need
FIJI for complete social life, and fat
tiers the coming women with the in
surance that America will produce
men grander than the world has yet
known, SO if this be true those not al
ready mated may find little difficulty
in securing model husbands. When q
woman does possess q model husband
she should crown him with earth's
brightest and most precious diadem,
q woman's love.
