IDEAL WOMAN.
PARISIAN PLEBISCITE
DARN SOCKS IF NECESSARY
..[INDEPENDENT PRESS CABLE] LONDON, Dec. IS. A plebiscite has been taken in Paris to find out the attributes of the ideal woman. A young girl won first prize with the following definition: ‘‘She must be neither a blue stocking nor a housekeeping fanatic. She should not be too intelligent. She should read Xeitsclie, but not talk about it; she should be able to play a Schumann melody without six months’ study, and she should be able to make cushions for a bazaar, and, if necessary, darn socks.”
