EVERT girl has an Ideal Man -whom Ghe hopes some day to find and I turn Into a Perfect Husband. The talented Miss Laura Jean Libbey drew a composite ideal that appealed to multitudes. multi-tudes. William Gillette, the actor, was another. Usually a girl's ideal before marriage mar-riage can be found by taking her husband hus-band and conjuring up a man absolutely different In every point It can be understood un-derstood that most girls without money think of an Ideal with lots of money. Just as Cinderella always dreams of the Prince and the beggar maid of King Cophetua. The subject of any girl's ideal is a deeply Interesting and Important psychological study. But how about the ideal of a girl with beauty, millions and social position? The question is not a frivolouB one. Nothing that has $15,000,000 attached to it even by a gossamer thread could possibly be frivolous. It is provoked by the fact that Miss Lilla Bramhall Gilbert, granddaughter grand-daughter of Isaac Brokaw, one of the N dozens of New York society, and niece of Mrs. Preston Satterwhite, one of the richest rich-est of American grandes dames, haB JUBt given up her sixth possibility at the close of her second season and is not only still looking for her Ideal but haa very fairly outlined what the ideal ifl. No rule of thumb 4 measurements will ... satisfy the model plans which MIsiTGflbert has clearly defined as her man perfect. In ; . a confidential mood the other afternoon, ' ' .' over the tea cups, this fifteen million dollar heiress divulged some of the sped- . fications. The perfect man must be six feet tall, athletic, a keen rider and clean jumper, a . . lover of animals, and preferably a brunette. This perfect He must he clean-shaven. Once he should have had a mustache, bnt HE, too, proved imperfect And ho must " have a firm jaw. His hair must bo thV.lt and curl over his left ear. There must be v " no tinge of red in it. There must be no signs of baldness. H1b earB must set closo to his head. Miss Gilbert would not '.' marry the richest man on earth if his ears stood out the tiniest bit. Being athletic, and at least six feet raTl, ' ' his figure would naturally be good. He' must not limp, nor Btutter, and he muBt not be bow-legged nor pigeon-toed. Ha ' must be a gentleman. He must never wear pink neckUea or ' ' jewelry. Ho must like lemon In his tea and eat ice cream with a fork.

"Lilla wants an Adonis, a Sir Galahad, a jockey, John Drew and Maurice rolled In one," grumbled the mothers of marriageable mar-riageable men. Now, at, the close of her second season, society is counting up the men who have had aspirations to become perfect husbands. There is a baker's dozen of them, and then a few more who modestly hide behind their own lights. Of the baker's dozen let us analyze thoir careers, their good pointB, and see why they did not attain Miss Gilbert's ideal. , There was Walbridge Taft, the oldest" son of Honry Waters Taft and nophow of President Taft: there was Angler Duke, the only sou and heir of Benjamin Duke; Jack Darragh, one of the clovoroat dancers in society; Nils Florman, the eagor searcher after happiness who has sipped sweets under many skies; Alden Blodgett, horseman, clean jumper, and blonde, and Dick Lounsbery, a granddon of the wealthy and venerable James B. Haggln and son of the late Richard Lounsbery, some millionaire himself. Let us start with Mr. Taft. There was every chance In his favor. Ho belongs to a well-known family, he is six foot tall, athletic, a good dancer, bound to be a money maker, and perfectly fit. physioally. His devotion to Miss Gilbert was tho talk, of the town.

Ho confessed to having been in lovo once at tho tender age of six with tho golden-haired daughtor of his uncle's head gardener, and doubly alas! a second time, just a year ago, with a beautiful Chicago girl, Miss Ethel Herrick. His engagement to Miss Herrick had just been announced when he met Miss Gilbert, and society has always said that the latter was responsible for the ultimate breaking off. But this, of course, Is not true. In comes Mr, Duke. Mr. Duke 13 no tallor'B dummy. He might even tench John Drew bow to tic his ties and just how to adjust his scarf pin.

Mr. Florman ls a handsome youth, a Swede, a blondo Adonis, a shy Sir Galahad, Gala-had, and perchance a money maker. -This attempt to become tho perfect husband was before Mr. Florman took his littlo flyer in Standard Oil, via MIhs Helen Stallo's heart In nearly every way Mr. Florman fulfilled ful-filled tho requirements as laid down by Miss Gilbert.
