THE IDEAL HUSBAND.
Some Observations on the Side and 4
0oQmatic 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 a stable article; he Is only
fleeting glimpse.
Shortly after Il young married wom-
an declares hers to be the ideal hus.
band he exhibits a tendency to crum-
ble his crackers in his soup or to place
slice of bread in his empty dinner
plate and submerge it in gravy. These
things "are not DONE?
While a 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 lie 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
10 save time, probably he also cuts
his meat into small pieces before start
ing to eat 1t.
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
his knowledge of esthetics was CLEAN
ed from an abridged edition; that his
tie is not in vogue, that his collar is
too loose and too low and therefore too
comfortable.
All me! have strayed from my
subject-the ideal husband. Let me
return to it and proceed
There is no such thing.-Paul Wing

row Wilson was up bright and early
and at 10 o'clock was paying friendly
visit to one Of her older, but close
personal friends in this city.
When 1t came to the men the matter
was different. 1t is safe to say that the
strain of the reception was harder on
the president than days OF the utmost

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS

Patented Process is Responsible for
International Popularity.
Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and GOODNESS and aroma of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette to-
bacco that they often marvel that
this one brand could be so different
from all others.
The answer to this question is
to be found on the reverse side of
every Prince Albert package, where
you will read: "Process Patented
July 80, 1907" That tells the whole
story. Prince Albert is made by a
patented process that cuts out the bite
and parch, which makes the tobacco
so mighty agreeable and satisfying to
men of every taste of every civilized
nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and a
fortune in money to perfect. But the
result has proven to be worth all
that was expended upon it, because it
has set free men who believed they
never could enjoy pipe or max
in's cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man to smoke a pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes. And, no matter
how tender the tongue, Prince Albert
cannot bite or parch. That is cut out
by the patented process, leaving fo'
the smoker only the joys of the fra
grant tobacco. -,
1t is a fact that since Prince Al
bert "arrived," just about six years
ago. it has made three men smoke
pipes where one smoked pipe De
