what K1nQ or man makes tue DeSL
 husband?
 This is the conundrum wome nare | forever trying to solve, and, judging | by the amount of marital unhappiness
 that we see about us, most ladies must
 be mighty poor guessers. Of, course. in reality, as long as custom does not
 permit women to pop the question, they should not be blamed for getting
 misfit husbands. Their range of se- lection is limited to what they can get.
 They have to take what is offered them, instead of the one they might
 have preferred. Still there is a choice among blessings, and even if woman
 has to pick a husband out of limited
 assortment it is worth while to exer-
 else care and judgment upon it. And here's one point for women to
 note all the qualities that make a
 man dazzling to the world, such as great beauty of face or form, social
 talents, cleverness, wit, genius, even
 extraordinary financial ability, mili- tate against making him a good hus-
 band. So the very things that at- tract woman to a man before mar
 riage are the ones that make him un- desirable as a husband.
 In choosing a husband, girls, don't
 marry very handsome man, for if you do you will always present an in- vidiOus contrast to him that people will remark upon, and beside him you will seem twice as homely and unat- tractive as you are. Moreover, a hand some man never admires anybody but himself; and in a family, if there Is
 going to be any bouquet-throwing, it
 should be the woman who gets the
 nosegay instead of the man.
 Don't marry a man who makes love
 beautifully and romantically. That is
 an accomplishment so rare and fas- cinating that no man who possesses it can refrain from practising it. It's
 all right as long as you are the object
 of it, but after a while making love to his own wife pals on a mans taste.
 He wants something with more "pep" in it, and he begins to quote poetry
 to other women. There is great safe ty in a husband who halts and stum-
 bles in his speech, and who has to screw his feet around the rungs of a chair in order to brace up enough tc call woman angel face"
 Don't marry a man who is philan
 thrOpist or who has a mission Al
 missions lead a man from his own
 hearthstone, and philanthropy is toe precious a commodity for family con
 sumption. So far as his wifes en
 toying his society is concerned or get
 ting any of his attentions, man had as we'll be addicted to drink as to
 causes. Both will keep him out at night and use up his salary. The men who are uplifting humanity are gener- ally letting their wives stand off the butcher. If charity doesn't begin at home it never gets there.
 Don't marry man who is too clever and especially avoid wit. A man who is delightful raconteur and who can tell a good story is the most charming of acquaintances, and gener ally the most boring of husbands. Al so, unless the woman is willing to be the butt of his jokes, she does wei. not to marry a humorist. He will make her faults, her foibles, her mis takes, her most sacred emotions, the subject of ridicule; and few women have a sufficiently we'll developed funny-bone to enjoy a good story at their own expense.
 Don't marry man who thinks he knows it all. Every woman is glad and proud to sit at her husbands fee, | TOT a limited space of time and burr | reasonable amount of incense before him, but patient Grizelda left few lineal descendants, and most femininists in | these days have a pretty conceit of | their own opinions, and like to ail | them now and then. The days of Sir Oracle are gone, and the hen, as we'll as the cock, wants to share in ruIlnA the roost.
 Don't marry man with too fine sensibilities, for if you do you are sur. to tread all over them. When vou ask him for money you will far him with your commercialism. In times Of household stress, when the cook leaves and the beds are unmade and the dishes unwashed, the terrible ma. ter1alism of domesticity will get upon his nerves. When the baby howls with the collie, and you are walking It garbed in bedroom slippers and gown, his aesthetic soul will shiVer away from you. The woman who mdrri0S SunarcoD cifiyo r,.-
