DAY OF DOLL" WOMAN GONE
Men Now Are Showing Preference for Mental Qualifications in
 Their Wives.

There used to be a time when men preferred the doll" type of woman as wife, to any other va rety. Fortunately that period has passed, or, rather, there are 50 few men with these preferences today that they need net be considered here. Of course there will always be husbands who prefer to have all the brains in the matrimonial part nership, who look upon tl wives as playthings to be, exclude from all their real interests and the real issues of life; as clotheshorses to be dressed up and shown off as an advertisement of the owners pros perity Few men nowadays want. and fewer women nowadays con sent, to be this sort of wife. Mu- tual attraction plays as big part us physical attraction in the selec- tion of mate. How else can he develop his future if at the head of the domestic helm there stands A wonan who cannot meet him on equal mental grounds, who cannot understand and appreciate the ideas he expounds? The average wife of today must have mentality If she is to hold her husband, and the average man, realizing this, perhaps better than the woman, looks for fair amount of mental ity ill the girl he selects to be his wife.

NEW FIELD FOR MEN.

The perfect thirty-sixes are not all women. We also have men models.
 This fact was brought out when q New York woman suing for sep aration, said her husband was a fash ion plate. He changed his clothes at least fifty times day" was her parting remark And the husband admitted the impeachment. He said he was Il man clothes model. ltthas long since been found that real clothes shown on real people are the best advertisements for said clothes that can be found. Designers of women's costumes knew 1t all the time, but It Is comparatively new field for men. There are only six of these Adonises in the business, and they command good pay, They are a very valuable and important adjunct to the mems clothes shop, and particularly to the manufactur- CTS of mems clothes.
