The Man Who Picks Out
A sickly Wife Hunts
Trouble.

Besides which l should not look
forward, with any degree Of fav-
orable anticipation, to spending
my life paying doctors bills or
sending my fragile Marie to the
seashore in the summer and Flor
ida in the winter, and to coming
home at night after a hard days
work to a house where | would
have to walk on tiptoe for fear Of
disturbing my suffering spouse.
II illness comes, as 1t so often
does, to a woman after marriage,
a man must bear his wifes in
valdism with tenderness, forti-
tude and sympathy 1t is a mis-
fortune which neither he nor she
can help; but a man who DELHI
erately picks out a sickly and
neurotic woman for a wife just
goes out TO hunt for trouble
and he always finds it a-plenty.
The next quality I should look
for in wife would be sense Of
humOr The girl who has a laugh
hung on a hair trigger, and that
goes off at the slightest jolt OF
her funnybone, would get me if
were a man, for l should know
that there are lots of things in
matrimony that woman has
either got to laugh over or cry
over, and l should prefer a home
where the sun shone to one that
was always damp and fOggy. Be
lieve me, son, the woman who
sees the funny side of things and
can make a merry adventure of
the ordinary mishaps of life is the
sort Of a wife to tie to- Tragedy
queens are all right on the stage,
but heaven help the man who has
to eat his breakfast opposite to
one 1865 times a year!
The third quality that should
look for IN a wife is what some
folks call faculty" That means
being equal to any situation that
arises and knowing how to do
things. II means the kind of a
wife who can cook, and wash, and
sew, and trim her own hats. and
help her husband make his for
tune, and then. when he's got it.
she can help him spend 1t as if
she never did anything in her life
but transmit orders to an English
butler and wear hats from Paris.
So, if l were picking out a wife,
I'd choose a girl who knew how to
turn her hand to anything that
hobbed up; who could cook a din
ner or order one in a restaurant.
who could pick out dress that
suited her or make one. who knew
how to check her trunk. and run
a bank account. and give fret aid
to the injured when any accident
happened in her vicinity. No
helpless, doll-baby woman for me
that would be like a milestone
about my neck and prevent me
from ever winning in the race for
success.

II l were a young man con-

thing that l should look for in a
