Model Husbands.

Perhaps every married woman In
our community thinks she possesses
a model husband, and We should be
sorry TO say anything that might be
the means OF dispelling the delusion.
We feel sure no two women weigh
mankind In exactly the same scales.
What one woman may regard az viz
tues another may regard as faults
A model husband In our opinion II
not man who alone brings wealth to
his home. nor one who cnaowb his
wife with IA fine social position. TIT
one who gives to his wife the host 81
himself: who appreciates her virtues
and pardons her faults
A model husband ls one who win
share every hardship or sorrow life
may bring TO his wife. and sweetens
suffering with his words OF love and
sympathy and when age and infirme
ties rob her Of her personal charms
and wrinkles take the place OF dim
pies, his love Is like the holly that
blossoms in the winter OF adversely.
A model husband does not allow his
selfish nature to accord TO himself al

A model husband must be a honest
man: not only honest with his fel-
low men, thus keeping his CONNER
cial reputation above reproarh. but
honest In paying his obligations 20
his family. When he allows vice and.
dissipation TO rob him OF his manhood
and selfrespect he cheats his wife out
Of her legal rights.

A model husband Is not necessarily
one OF the kissing kind. who never

associates BY saying his wife would
rather have kiss than a dollar. and
