tirey trusted in this important matter. Skill comes
only with experience; hence, second marriages
usually success; for a widow, though she may not
know exactly what she does want realizes by proc
of elimination what she doesn't want. And that
is small thing to know.
The American man has pretty widespread repu-
tation for being the best and indugent husband
in the world, and he deserves his reputation-most
of it. The dominant note of American civiliza-
ton is Individualsm and the American man not
recognizes his wfe's right to be considered; he
makes demands upon her along that line and
in consequence lets her have her and nearly all
the rights she wants. And she is the consequent
envy of her European sisters.
Still he is not quite perfect He IS not IN general
sincere as the Englishman gallant as the Italian
SO home loving the German AS for his taking
his womenfolk seriously, there the Frenchman has
him beaten to whisper. Just thing does the
American take with unalloyed seriousness,
toward just thing does he display perfect gal
lantry and sincerity and for just thing does he
pine with homesickness if he is parted from it in
definitely busness. And that is the reason out
side of all question of title that many American
girls marry foreigners They are seeking the golden
fleece of being first, second to nothing not
sometimes they don't But in any case they lose
their chance of being indvidualistc. The European
doesn't look for that in his women.
Admitting, then that American men differ ma
terially from one another each being individual
and more or less a law unto himself they may,
into four general groups Not all members of these
groups, when taken in the raw, make acceptable
husbands of them not acceptable
friends which really is saying the thing twice
but with the exception of the third group they
all, with proper and under congenal conditions
of his class the right sort of American
husband.
