tntc "The Ideal Woman. "
Tennyson says in the spring a youi
muii's fancy lightly turns to thougl
of love. With the young men and TV
men of Vigo county consideration
this interesting theme is not confin
to one season. It has the right of w
sit all times and seasons.
Definitions of love were being CL
cussed when : i refined woman said tl
most comprehensive and beautiful de
nition she had ever seen was writti
by Amanda Douglas. Here it is :
"Love comes with truth in her hen
and constjmcy in every pulse to i
downin everlasting guest in the hear
of thusiwho truly welcome her.
there ; .ri' sorrows and storms , si
spreads her wings for an ark of sh <
tor : if toil and care , she lightens the
with her blessed smile. No room f
regrets or jealousies , for.both are tri
in deed and thought : no coldness , f
she stands between them and tl
frosts of time. Year by year they gro
into perfect accord , bringing heav <
nearer with every dawn.
"Can such love ever fail ? ' '
A jolly girl present said. "Love is
*
tickling sensation round the heart th
cannot be scratched. "
A modest , blushing young lady r
marked. "It is something iudescrib
ble , must be spontaneous , cannot 1
bought or coaxed into being and wlu
it grows cold cannot be warmed. " St
we hear people constantly saying , '
learned to loe him. "
There is no subject upon which a ms
or woman , young or middle aged , pr
vided they ; ; re not married , will b
come so animated as "my ideal womat
and "my Sdc : man. "
Usually the tall uion and women sa
mire those of medium or diminutii
stature ; the fat. the lean ; the blond , tl
brunette ; the jolly , the sedate. The u :
ion of two people with different chara
teristics. provided they agree on tl
fundamentals , makes a harmouiox
whole , the one fur.iishing the needc
complement of the < : ther.
The lawyer prefer > the woman avers
to arguing. He gel ; his sufficiency <

garrulous man seel. a good listene
The conceited one admires the mode ;
woman who enjoys burning incense bi
fore his altar. The man of few wort
picks cut the woman of bright conve :
sational powers.
It is difficult to surmise from a man
general attributes what is his ideal w <
man.
I asked a Terre Haute gentleman wl ]
has been much in public life and ha
been thrown with many brilliant w <
men what was his ideal woman. ' I wa
surprised to hear him say empbaticall
not a convention woman or one wh
{ roes about delivering specc-hes and lo <
tiires upon a public rostrum. "My idei
woman is one who can bold her own i
conversation with other women an
men of brains in the parlor , who Is sol
reliant , yet looks to a man and depend
upou him ; not too good to drink a glas
of wine , to loll a good story if the ocea
sion warrants it , yet she must not b
carried off bir feet She must be abl
to work both physically anl mentall ;
and be ashamed to follow in the waki
of idle women. "
A yjflety young man not given to ex
plicit ' statements has eonlk'.etl thl
niUfli about his ideal woman. Slii
must be good looking. Perish UK
thought of sitting opposite an nay wo
in:5u at the table one thousand ant
niKety-flvf times in n ye r. Win idea
wo'iin : must not be bold , still no :

ing , well proportioned woman in tin
saddle' is si ljt for the ; rols. " Any
thing but a namby pamby woman , one
Jtfruid of her shadow , for this young
f { How. - *
There te a proverb that runs thus :
"Whistling girls and crowing hens al
ways come to some bad end. " At le.-ist
one Terre Haute gentleman thinks
tins IP an absurd statement. In fact ,
the ability to whistle well be regards
11 s an essential in his ideal woman.
And she must have rich , glossy hair ,
huiijious dark eyes , shapely hands and
linger nails , dainty feet , be jolly and
companionable , a person to cheer a fel
low ii ; > when worried and worn out
with business. No bookworm or wo-
imin'H suffrj.ge advocate can be classed
ns his ideal. A lover of music , not the
ultra classic , is an essential for this
gentleman's ideal woman.
A bold , dashing youth holds as his
ideal a womanly woman , even to ti
midity , but morally brave , one who will
regard him us her o h and clasp her
soft tendrils about him for support.
Tliis dependence , he avers , will keep
him athis best and his ideal refined ,
sweetnoble , human. Susan W. Ball
