THE QUALITIES OF A WIFE

A Paris newspaper has been engaged in the interesting pursuit of finding out the wifeIy characteristics most in demand among French men. It asked how, in the opinion of it's read CTS, the following thirteen qualities should be graded in point of importance Beauty, kind ness, courage, cOnstancy, fidelity, good nature brightness, frankness cleverness, wealth. health wit and talent
 Some twenty thousand men sent in answers and two surprising results are noted The ma jority put wealth about half way down the list and beauty last of all. Good nature was in great demand as were kindness, health and con stancy.
 It would be interesting to learn how a similar inquiry would turn out in this country Those who put wealth and beauty pretty well down in the list show wisdom which it is to be honed they are capable of putting in practice when they marry. Wealth and beauty are desirable indeed, but neither will make up for the lack of good nature, kindness or constancv. Beautv

doesn't last, but good nature is an abiding joy Wealth takes wings, but kindness is sure refuge in time of stress.
 Those who insist that their wives shall have all these qualities, the whole thirteen wrapped in in one engaging bundle of feminine loveiness, doubtless will have trouble in ranging the sev eral qualities in their most desirable order. But then anybody who expects to find a life compan- ion with all thirteen qualities is altogether too sanguine and optimistic to be seriously consid- cred.
 These qualities group themselves naturally into three divisions: The homely virtues of kindness, courage, health, constancy, frankness, fidelity and good nature; the artificial virtue of wealth in a class by itself; and the more showy virtues of beauty, brightness, cleverness, wit and talent. It is a safe prediction that if the young men of any city should register their preference in these three divisions, in the aver age the division of homey virtues would come first the division of wealth second, and the di- vision of brilliancy last. The average young man would find wealth beyond his hope, and he would be little fearful of the showy quail ties He would be inclined to be skittish about mating with woman more brilliant than him self, though if he were mentally up to the ordeal of living with bright, clever, witty and talent ed woman it would be privilege indeed.
 It is too much to expect to find all thirteen qualities in one woman, much as one would like to find such creature, how would you rank those qualities? Would you put beauty first, or last? Would you demand wealth first, or good nature? Would you rank health first, or wit? Would you rather have talented wife, or a kind one? Do you place constancy higher than ceverness?
