BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. | WikOLe GREELEY-SMITH According to a dispatch from Cin- cinnati, yesterday, the perfect man and ideal husband hes been discov- ered In the person of James P. Pear- son, & manufacturer, whose wife has testified publicly in a newspaper that he {s entirely free from the ten faults of the average husband, these faults being enumerated as follows: Selfishne: unfaithfulness, jealousy, intemperance, cowardice, immoral- ity, despotism, bad temper, stupidity and idleness. This terrifying Met of masculine derelictions was compiled originally by French women in a newspaper contest. Surely, if Cincinnati can shdw one {deal husband, New York should be able to produce a dozen. same in New York as in Cincinnat!? But is the standard of marital perfection the ! May one measure masculine virtue with a foot rule or apply a tape measure to the ideal man? I know husbands who posvess all the qualitles attributed by his wife to Cin- einnatl's criterion of excellence and yet they do not impress, 1 know other hus- bands who might be found wanting} in one or the other of this paragon’s virtues, yet whose wives find them very satisfactory companions, — Cincinnatl's {deal husband ts not New York's, Your te not mine. ‘Meny piling one moral excellence upon another in abstract discus- sion one is apt to produce 4 sort of Frankenstein of virtu super- human monster that terrifies but does not convince. To the average woman Man ig so much more at- tractive than Superman, So the ideal husband is no Superman, but mere- ly @ masculine creature with faults one cam tolerate, virtues one cam forgive and charm that one cannot | resist. READER, WHAT !8 YOUR IDEAL | OF A HUSBAND? 1 Your {deal husband may differ widel from this definition, What ts he? Young woman, what kind of husband! will be the right one for you? Young man, what !s your {eal for yourself when you marry? Wives, young anil} old, have you captured a prize in Love's lottery? If #0, won't you deseribe him for the benefit of those who have drawn) blanks? Husbands also are requested to contribute to the discussion of the} {deal husband, but autoblographers are | barred. ‘ ‘The Cincinnati {deal, borrowed from France, has the fault of being negative. | Granted that the ideal husband must) not be cursed with any of the sins/ enumerated. But there are other posi- tive things that he must be, And the ‘one supreme virtue 1s left out of his composition altogether—that of Truth- fulness. a It may be argued that this rare and precious domestic virtue is comprehended in the nibition egainnt cowardice.
