AN ACTRESS’ DIARY.

“ men, MARRIAGE AND ME.” LOVES A FIGHT EVERY DAY. IDEA OF PERFECT HUSBAND. United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copyright. LONDON, October 1. Peggy Joyce, the actress whose matrimonial adventures, have attracted worldwide attention, has_ published her diary, “Men, Marriage "and Me.” The diary begins: “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 competent secretary, in order not to be compelled to give overmuch attention to business.” * She continues: “He must be a passionate lover, not a mauler, especially in public or when I am dressed and 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. 1 cannot bear a man who just sits and takes it. He must not be a teetotaller, for generally there is something else wrong, and he must not be quarrelsome when drunk, just gay. He must be a gentleman, polite, except of course when he is fighting, and must give attention to details, such as the cigarettes and champagne I like.”
