Miss Peggy Joyce, whoso matrimonial adventures have attracted world-wide attention, has published a dairy. “AJen, Marriage and Ale.' Tile diary begins: “Wondering it J really am mercenary. Perhaps 1 am. but it is better to be mercenary than miserable.” She expressed a. belief that the breed ol" good husbands is extinct, and defines the perfect one as: “.Must be rich.’ with a competent secretarv in order not to be compelled to give overmueh attention to business, lie must be a passionate lover, not a mauler, especially in public, or when I am made up ready to go out. He must be a good quarreller, because 1. cannot be luippv unless I have a good light every day or so when things begin to pall. I cannot bear a man who just .sits and "takes it. He must not he a teetotaller, or generally something else is wrong. He must not bo quarrelsome when drunk, just gay. He must be a gentleman, pe.lite. except, of course when he is fighting, and must give attention to details such as the cigarettes and champagne i like.”
