HARTMAN DEFINES
 4 GOOD HUSBAND
I els interviewer What Women Expect in Men for
 HelpneetS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Manliness business capacity. sy.npaihy-these magic qualities are the essentials to make the truly eligible husband.
 F. H. Hartman, railroad magnate and father of two daughters in so- ciety, thus tersely describes the ideal helpmeet for women. Additional in. terest attaches to the definition be- cause of the recent announcement that Miss Mary HarrimGl is engaged to marry Mir. Willard Straight Amer lean Consul General a. Mukden, Man churia.
 In an interview the great financle- and man of affairs dropped the mask of reserve which he wears before the business world and consenting to talk of things that interest the gshCier scX
 Incidentally, Mir. Hartman denied that an engagement exists between his daughter and MT. Straight
 The rumor is not true,' he said.
 The interview took place on the train that bore MT Hartman to his work. Relieved from the pressure of business cares and from the business atmosphere of the city. MT Harlman was free to give himself to a mood of relaxation. He is most genial and agreeable.
 What sort of man would you con- slider truly eligible?'
 "In other words, what traits go to make a man an ideal husband?'
 And then, with his characteristic brevity, he disposed of the whcle question in these words:
 "Manliness, business capacity, sym pthy." ....
 After awhile he ampnfied his state, ments.
 By manliness yoI mean what?"
 'I mean each and every quality that goes to make a man a man. The ideal husband must have them all. By bus mess capacity I mean the capacity of the prOyider.
 And sympathy-women all know what that means. It is what all re- quire in husbands, isn't it?'
 One forgot altogether that he was the big railroader whose every mCve is watched with breathless interest by the world of finance. The snrewd- ness, cleyerness and daring which that world attributes to him seemed but tradition at this time.
 Hartman is essentially the gentle man of tact and courtesy. When apolugized for intruding upon his pri- vacy upon this trip hOmeward, an- nouncing my mission as perhaps un- pleasant. he made haste to relieve my mind Tt is very pleasant for me, |" he said with gallantry.
 I put another question to MT. Harri- man.
 What do you think of the woman in business and the professions? Do you deplore the fact of the woman wage earneT?"
 Mr. Harriman's keen eyes twinkled merrily for an instant before he re- piled. Then he said:
 "T think every woman who cant get Q husband to support her has per feet right to take a mans place in business of she is able to do it."
 And do you believe women have the necessary ability to make real sue cess-financial successes, l mean?
 They are doing it." he said. 'ls not that the best power of all?''
 MT. Hartman was not at all eXer- cised over the condition that force the gentler sex from home to take their places Deslde Iuen III the pIeau and butter battle. He seemed ln- cIined to view the situation with phil osophical calm.
 You do not deplore the fact that women are deseTting their homes? That they think less and less of mar riage and the home That they are growing more fastidiOus regarding their choice of a life partner?'
 T did not know thew were" he said in seeming astonishment. Il had not realized it. l never thought Of 1t in that way"
 The railroad magnate gave as one reason for woman's great success in business the fact of her capacity to make herself pleasant.
