BEWARE THE POPULAR MAN

"Good Fellow” the Worst Kind of Husband, According to Sophisticated Widow. A sophisticated widow, airing her views in a New York paper, declares that the good fellow, the clubable man. makes the very worst kind of husband. The type of man who is loved by men, chiefly for his genial faults, is a terror to live with, says this lady, who is credited with considerable experience. Such a man is quite incapable of self-study and of self-criticism; he knows the men like him and he can t think why his wife doesn’t. The man who is popular with men, says this lady, never gets on, either in business or anything else. He takes pride in being a good spender and he cultivates the art of generously spending, to the detriment of the art of making. The wife of such a man is forever anxious about financial matters, usually neglected, invariably unhappy. And the men are-always so sorry for him. being tied to such a fussy wife.
