What qualities should an ideal hus-
band possess?
What virtues and what accomplish
ments should a man have in order to
turn him from the common, or gar
den variety Of husband into one that
would be a household treasure?
These questions are suggested by a
divorce suit that has recently been
tried in the Middle West, in which the
aggrieved husband gave a piteous ac-
count of the abuse his wife poured
upon him, because he did not know
how 10 powder her back properly and
made a bungling job Of II.
OF course, when the average man
ponders upon the duties of a husband
he does not include the services of a
lady's maid among them. II never
even occurs to him that marriage
turns a husband into a hookworm. and
that upon his business as lawyer. or
doctor. or merchant he must superim-
pose the art OF the calciminer. and
acquire the expert eye for fit and style
of the cloak-and-suit-buy
Yet all these functions pertain to
the ideal husband, and make a man
the kind OF a mate that his lucky pos
SCISSOR fiaunts in every other woman's
face.
For in feminine circles the last
word in disillusionmeRt that a wife
can utter is when she says. my hus-
band never notices how l look, and
when / ask him how he likes a new
frock, he always says. oh, 1t is all
right guess; how much did 1t cost" I"
In the main. women are reasonable
creatures. however. Tf9y are willing
to admit that 1t Is not absolutely nec-
essary for their dear husbands to
possess the talent of the complexion
artist and the lady's tailor. though
they realize that II certainly would
be a comfort to be married to a man
who could tell when a hat is on at the
proper angle, and find the snapper on
a bit OF real lace without tearing a
ten dollar hole in 1t. and using LAM
guage that no perfect gentleman
should use in a lady's society.
Perhaps the reason that more mar
.riages are not happier is because men
and women look at this question of
what constitutes the ideal husband
from such entirely different stand
points, II a man supports his wife
and gives her good home, and the
physical comforts of life, and refrains
from beating her, he feels that he has
done his full duty toward her and en-

I joys the rewards OF q clear conscience.
The average man does not consider
that he is under. any obligation to do
anything actively toward making his
wife happy. such as being tender and
affectionate toward her, or to provide
her with little amusements. and
crafty her little whims. or to chum
with her. Roughly speaking, a mans
conception of the perfect husband Is
meal ticket and a charge account
at the stores. II he does anything
else for his wife II is a matter Of
grace and not duty. On the other
, hand. a woman's ideal of a perfect
husband is OF someone who will be
her guide. philosopher and friend. a
man who will be stronger and wiser
than she is. and show her the way
through life: a man whose tenderness
will envelop her like the tenderness OF
God: a man whose sympathy and pity
will be a sustaining fountain into
whose waters she can always dip in
every hour of trial.
As for her husbands conduct, a
woman's ideal husband is a man who
always notices how his wife looks.

and well, whether she Is becomingly

appreciates the little things that she
does for him, instead of taking them
for granted. He has a word OF thanks
when she has sewed on his button, or
turned the cuffs on his shirts, or
made his favorite pie for dinner.
When she has sacrificed the things
she wanted and gone through pinch
ing economies to help him meet some
crisis in his business. the woman's
ideal husband does not begrudge her a
need of praise as a helpmeet. II he
has money he lavishes upon her every
luxury. II he has not money he
makes her feel that the hardest sting
Of poverty Is because he cannot dress
her like a queen. Above all, he makes
her feel that his love is a warm, liv-
ing actuality that no time nor change
can chill.
A woman's ideal husband tries to
be interesting and companionable to
his wife. He doesn't expect her to
make all the conversational running
and monologue along of an evening,
while he merely grunts from time to
time to show that he is still alive.
He is willing to go fifty-fifty with her
in providing the amusement for q
pleasant evening at home, and he
takes as much interest in discussing

II. for 1t exceeds Rome in antiquity.
Like Its masculine counterpart,
Julius, 1t had Its origin in the Julian
gems that preceded Roman civiliza-
tion. Various legends are put forth
to account for Julius" and his
, torians differ widely. but the gen.
orally accepted theory Is that julius
is the diminutive of "dius," meaning
divine. and was evolved in the same
manner that Zeus, father of the
gods, came TO be the Roman Jupiter.
II such is the case, Julia may fairly
be called a daughter OF the gods.
Just as the masculine Julius was
famed through Julius Caesar and be-
came hereditary throughout the en-
pire. so the feminine counterpart
was accepted as hereditary and was
adopted as ornamental in other
countries when classical names
came into fashion. The Julie" of
Rousseau's ',Nouelle Heloise' made
Julie very popular in France Eng
land, Spain and Portugal kept her
intact as Julia, but Italy changed
her to Giulia, and Russia added the
typically touch of Julia.

perhaps to the talismanic quality OF

Soldiers march 120 steps per min

You can prove all this for yourself

One of the little known by-products
of the war has been the advance in
the United States of the manufacture
of medicines. Once we were obliged
to buy most of these supplies abroad,
from Germany usually and, since We
had to have them at any price, the
Germans charged us cutrageously.
Some of these chemicals used to cost
$40 an ounce, SO that single dose
might cost $40 When the supply
ceased at the beginning of the war
our own chemists set to work to dis
cover the secrets. Years of woIK fol-
lowed, but today there is scarcely g
chemical product we cannot manu-
failure for ourselves and usually, at
a low price. The medicine which
used to cost $40 dose now costs one
dollar
