Chicago contains at least twelve
women who believe that they have
model husbands, and they do not use
the term model as meaning a small
imitation of the real thing. They had
an exhibition the other day at which
the husbands proved their right to the
title. The final and supreme test was
given when the men were called upon
to fasten 24-button embroidered
shirt-waist; the waist was decorousIy
put on a wooden dummy, SO that the

Two of the husbands fastened the
