N OT long ago... - Irish journalist, in writing about--Canada, said-that,-as- a rule, Canadian husbands are surl: In reply to this charge A Britisher m Toronto, has-awritten a letter to Answers, claiming that the Canadian makes a good The average Canadian, says this wri- touched home to his wife. What Britis- her would do that? The Canadian is also more economical and quieter than the Old Countryman, and wherever he goes his wife and children go with him tl he is going on pleasure. . Altogeth r, this correspondent, evidently a Woman, thinks the Canadian makes a begger husband than the Britisher. ise But ave must not permit this kind of praise to make us vain. It is to be feared that a great many men'do not take their wives and children with them on their Sat urday afternoon pleasure trips, and that many fail to arrive home on pay day with their wages intact. Here, as elsewhere, husbands come in all. sorts and sizes, and rank as good, bad, and indifferent, but it is probably true that the native born hus- band is rather more tame than one who has been imported from Europe. The evidence of the woman whose letter we have quoted supports that of Mr. McMillan, of Rothe- say, who advised Old Countrymen not to marry Canadian girls, as they would be babies out in carriages. He would pro- bably jeer at the notion that it is a virtue in a husband to carry home his pay envelope untouched and hand it over, to his wife, or to have his family trailing along when -he gets an afternoon off. 0: JUST A LITTLE FUN.
