Mr. Samuel \V. an Nostran got first prise as *•*** "model,"
largely upon testimony offered by Mrs, Van. Here's what
makes Sammy the "model," a'ccordtng to Chicago wives.
"Prompt and good-natured at meals. Good entertainer. An
adept with the chafing dish. Good judge of feminine beauty.
Generous. Enjoys home more than the club." Mrs. Samuel also
remarked on the side that he allowed her to carry the family
pockctbook and had told her that her cooking was "far above
mother's."
It's .1 mighty "good bill-of-farc of masculine virtues, but
wives-at-largc will not swallow it with.mi some explicit ex;
planation before they demand that their husbands live up to it,
a long shot
• A good many husbands arc prompt at meals simply because
they're hungry, and huhgrin'ess will hardly be listed as one of
domestic virtues. Sammy Van Nostran ma, be first down
at the tabic simply because of an aching void within him. We'd
like to know what he does when he sets there. Does he kit like
a Missouri male about what is or what isn't on the tabic? "-i
any brute .-i a husband can be prompt at the table, but does
Sammy cat In- pie and peas with a knife, wipe his hand- on Ihe
tablecloth and roar shoot b»a victuals?
Skill with a chafing dish is evidence of a high artistic tem
perament, but a- most wives' husbands don't know a chafing
dish from a tennis racket, we'd like to be informed a- to Sam
my's adept with ... go«xl old-fashioned frying pan, before we
give him a prize as a cook.
But Sammy's a good judge of female beauty. Lots of bus
bands arc. ami if Mrs. Sammy can stand having hers going
around judging miscellaneous female beauty, it goes., Sam
should have a prize for it, if he doesn't devote too much time to
It and doesn't hang blue ribbons about the necks of tOO many
"beauts." '.til if Sammy hi- worked up much of a reputation
as a judge of feminine-pulchritude, it wouldn't be injudicious or
su fait in Mr-. Sammy to make a personal inspection of Sam's
staff of typewriter ladies, for instance.
And Sammy enjoys home more than the club. Alas I
There's a wide-open door for impertinent questions here. We
must ask. What is the limit at the club? lias the club discov
ered Sammy's weakness for four-spades-and-a-heart? And has

there sprung up in Sammy's model home that beautiful but sim
ple little diversion called "bridge," at which the good neighbors
can oft be made to yield up bric-a-brac, small furniture, and, in
the more intense situations, even sordid cash?
The model husband's virtues, as published, may go, in Chi
cago, but "unadorned with explanation they will not pass with
the wives-at-larg'e. Each of the latter will be likely to hang on
to her own standard, almighty thankful thai there's anything at

Landlords as Airlords
Lyttleton fast, aNew York'lawyer, startled the Aero club
of America the other evening, when in an instructive lecture to
the club b! would-be air lords, he informed them that before
they could become even air butlers or air charwomen, to say
nothing of lords, they must settle with the landlords.

Fox suggests that one. of-the. Wrights get some friendly
landowner to sue him— as to get the courts to modify this un
favorable law—but how is tins to be done without upsetting the
whole theory of landed rights?
Mr. Craighead, in "Virginia of the Air Lanes," sum* the
whole thing up in a rather extraordinary way, in I unique court

"How am I damnified," says he, "by tin air-ship, which may
