THE IDEAL HUSBAND.
Some Observations on the Side and a
Doematic Conclusion.

Some Observations on the Side and q
Doematic Conclusion.
You are probably a woman. Few
men would pause to read an article
headed THE Ideal Husband" Man
knows his fellow men too we'll.
Of course it is true that nearly every
married woman has at some time in
her life claimed to have found the one
ideal husband, but not for long. He
is not stable article; he is only a
deeting glimpse.
Shortly after young married wom-
an declares hers to be the ideal hus-
band he exhibits tendency to crum-
BILE his crackers in his soup or to place
a slice Of bread in his empty dinner
plate and submerge it in gravy. These
things ''are not done"
While man is still engaged-held
under option, as it were, but not def
nitely contracted for-he is for a short
while considered ideal. However, he
just begins to enjoy his perfection
when it is discovered by his general
manager elect that he rests his knife
and fork half on the tablecloth and
half on his plate, while they should be
draped artistically across his plate
midway between meat and potatoes
To save time, probably he also cuts
his meat into small pieces before start
ing to eat it.
He has good reasons for doing as he
does, but they do not excuse him. His
sort Of conduct and perfection simply
do not walk hand in hand.
No young couple should be engaged
long enough for either one to discover
the others shortcomings. So long as
a man and a girl are so mutually mes
merized that the eyes Of one never
leave the eyes of the other he is per-
feet, but the moment he allows her
glances to stray below his Adams ap-
pie. the moment he loses control, he
loses also perfection. She realizes that

childhood, Ihad been subject to attacks
of backache and kidney complaint and
