Include Money Making.

Syracuse. N. Y. July 7.-Optimism,
steadfastness, loyalty, a sense of hu-
these are the attributes of the per
feet husband If you care to accept the
verdicts rendered by the coed gradu-
ates of Syracuse university.
Miss Frances Slocum valedictorian
of the class, rules that the requisites
of the perfect husband are ambition,
brains, ideals and a sense of humor.
A man who eats bread pudding with
the grace of a connoisseur in French
pastry and to whom tomorrow means
something besides another day, an
other dollar is the ideal man for Miss
Nerine, Mason.
A purpose in life, with an appre-
citation of the fundamentals of life
rather than the artificial, is the de-
mand made by Miss Emily Gere, who
adds:
THE ideal husband must abhor di-
vorce and be of the one-woman kind.
position, so he can be led into believ-
ing he is having his own way when
he really isn't. He must be somewhat
like the caveman in taking the initia-
tive, and now and then he must die
tate what his wife should do"
An optimist is wanted by Miss Bea-
trtce Strait, retiring women's manag-
ing editor for the Syracuse Daily
Orange, the undergraduate daily.
Miss Strait declares that educational
training should have more weight in
selecting a husband than money or
position, but ones husband, of course.
should be able to support his wife
comfortably. The hypothesis of the
whole thing is that he must be true

GOOD health. strong character,
sense of honor. a good companion,
with an intellect at least equal to
that of his wife" is the right combina-
ton for a husband. AYERS Miss Elsie

the Orange.
"a man who will remember that his

bill, admits Miss Dorothy Manwarren,
who adds that he shoulo be thought

at home.
Miss Isabel Collins declares for a

from jealousy trustworthy in every
respect and admiring only to certain
