STILL TO BE FOUND

THE PERFECT HUSBAND. PEGGY JOYCE’S DEFINITION. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, October 1. Peggy Joyce, whose matrimonial adventures have attracted world-wide attention, has published a diary, “ Men, Marriage, and Me.” The diary begins; X am wondering if I am really mercenary. Perhaps I am, but it is better to be mercenary than miserable.” She expresses the belief that the breed of good husbands is extinct, and defines the perfect one as “ must .be rich, with a competent secretary, in order'not to be compelled to give too much attention to business. He must be a passionate lover, not .a mauler, especially in public, or when I am dressed and made up ready to go out. He must be a good quarreller, because I cannot be happy unless I have a good fight every day or so when things begin, to pall. I cannot bear a man who just sits and takes it. He must not be a teetotaller, or generally there is something else wrong. He must not be quarrelsome when drunk, just gay. He must be a gentleman, and polite, except, of course, when he is fighting. He must give attention to details, such as the cigarettes and champagne that I like."
