the beds haven't been made in the

out a police call for, the wife she
comes in with some sort of mess
she has bought at the delicatessen

and my pipe, and | get that now and
am fit for business the next day, while
all my married friends are breaking
down with nervous prostration trying
to work all day and dance all night to
please their wives"
So. apparently, what men want in
a wife is the old-fashioned wife who
will stay put and who possesses the
old-fashioned virtues and the old
fashioned accomplishment of making
happy home,
And you can't improve on that.

What does man look for in Wife
What quality, above all other quail
ties, does he want in the woman ht
marries?
What is the one particular charm
by which woman can lure man tc
the altar?
This is the conundrufn that hun
dreds of thousands OF good-looking
and intelligent young women spend
! their days and nights in an effort to
guess without being able to unravel
the riddle.
Perhaps these earnest seekers for
light on the reason why men marry,
and more particularly why they don't
marry, may find CLEAN Of informa-
ton in the story of Miss Clara Bishoff
Miss Bishoff, it will be recalled, is
the young womanswho announced in
the columns Of this paper, that finding
herself unable to support herself and
her mother by her own efforts, she
had decided to transfer the job to a
husband and that she would marry
any respectable man who would give
them good home.
Now, Miss Bishoff was admittedly
penniless. She is only ordinarily
good looking, and any man taking her
for wife was getting a mother-in-law
thrown in with the bargain, which is
not generally supposed to add to the
glamor OF domestic life. Yet right
here in little old New York. where
men are more averse to committing
matrimony than they are anywhere
else on earth, within the space of
twenty-four hours. this Young woman
received more than 500 proposals of
marriage.
Why did SO many men wish to
marry a girl they had never seen, and
Omaha daily bee., 1916-12-05
The Surest Way to Get a Husband
Is to Learn to Make q Home

! desire for a comfortable and well
kept home, witlfsa good dinner and a
| cheerful wife waiting in it for him
at the end of strenuous day, never
| changes. Any woman who feathers
her hook with that certainly doesn't
have to hook her man. He will come
up and impale himself on the mar
rage license OF his own accord
Women lay all the blame for the
decline and fall off in matrimony, as
| Mr., Wegg would say, on men. They
declare that Barkis is willing, but
that men are too selfish, too fond OF
their own comfort and ease, two self
conferred, to get married.
They say men want to spent their
money on golf and clubs instead of
OF on family, so they enjoy the
pleasure of girls society without
the penalty Of having to pay her bills.
Undoubtedly it is true that the
young man Of today is afraid Of mat
rimony, but it is largely the women's
fault 1t is the girls themselves who
have scared him off They have
hoisted the quarantine flag that makes
him steer clear Of setting up home
of his. own.
, When a young man looks at per-
ambulating fashion plate and tries to
figure out how far his salary would
go toward even dressing young per-
son who looks like an uhderstudy to
the Queen of Sheba, it is no wonder
that he doesn't any more think of
setting up a wife than he does of
setting up yacht. Nor is he further
inclined toward matrimony by OBJ
serving that the men he knows who
are married mostly wear the furtiye
look Of those who are bounded by the
bill collector. ~"
Girls dress to attract the eye of the
man and to please him, and in so
doing they often as not defeat their
own ends, for even while he admires
the effect of the scenery, he is count
ing its cost and deciding that it is not
for him. No girl could make a, better
play for husband than to announce
that she makes her own clothes and
is handy with the sewing machine
Another reason why men hesitate
to marry is to be found in the fact
that the average woman seems to con-
slider that the first duty of a wife
is to be amused, and that the place to
look for pleasure is outside of her
home. Bridge, and movies, and matt
nees, and theaters, and restaurants are
the things that occupy her attention,

BY GARRETT P. SERvISS.

| The boundless interest which man
must always feel in everything per-
tanning to the organ of his intelli-
gence, the brain, gives importance to
any speculation on that subject.
Some time ago there was an exhibit
ton of sketches made by the insane
a. the Bethlehem Royal hospital in
| London. 1t has been remarked that
some OF these pictures strangely re-
semble the productions of the So
| called 'futurist" and "cubist" styles
of art. But too much weight should
| not be ascribed to that, because an
artist who would be recognized by
| any, alienist as perfectly sane may
paint or draw pictures of the most
eccentric character with perfect un-
Outstanding of what he is about.
If he is working out consistent
theory he can hardly be called insane
simply because the majority of people
do not believe in his theory Of art
Antoine Wiertz filled large gallery
in Brussels with paintings which
many people now stare at as if they
were the productions of mailman,
and some do not hesitate to assert
that Wiertz was at least half mad.
Yet Wiertz knew exactly what he
was about and painted his extraordi-
nary fancies with a definite purpose.
SO some people say that the 'grotes.
que and arabesque" tales of Edgar
Allan Poe are insane writings, but
such criticism is too narrow. r
The distinction between sanity and
insanity is often very hard to trace.
The assertion that genius is only an
exalted form of insanity simply leads
to confusion, besides being absolutely
groundless. Genius is an expression
of the most perfect sanity. The man
o. genius has a mind of absolute
clearness, at least on the side toward
which his genius inclines. If this
were not so, genius, instead Of lead
ing to success and triumph, would
lead to failure and disaster. y
In spite of all the definitions of the
a1ienists, insanity cannot be complete
ly corraled. There will always be
some persons on the outside of the
fence who Others will think ought to
be placed on the inside, and vice
versa. If we were to accept all the
marks, signs and "stigmata" devised
by Lombroso and other theorists as
indicating insanity, we should have to
regard half the people we meet as
more or less developed lunatics, and
we ourselves would lie open to
similar suspicion, ..-.
What is insanity, then? For it will
not do to assert that there is no such
thing A practical definition is that
insanity means so wide a departure
by certain individuals, from the or
binary, and almost universally pre-
valent, laws of human thinking and
conduct that such individuals stand
in class by themselves.
People are often insane only on
some particular side, their minds re-
naming entirely clear and normal in
other respects, and in such>-cases l
believe it would be possible to dis
cover the special lesion in the brain
causing the partial insanity. Insanity
is also sometimes only temporary.
But how great a degree of depar-
ture from the ordinary should be re-
garded as constituting real insanity?
There are many families which have |
