" Wouldn't set the = ringlet and riD0on-
headed population an example of brilliant
perfection Wouldn't make myself
generally submissive and deferential to-
all the gentlemen, Sand talk to them as
though they had soul above their sns-
penders!
What glorious woman should make!
wouldn't turn up my pretty nose and
pout because of little tobacco juice on
the pavement; and if / had husband !
wouldn't make such a fuss about aVlittle"
tobac CO. smoke in the house, or a 6 little "
| tobacco-spit on my dress, or on the hearth,
| or carpet!
The dear, adorable man! should be
so proud Of his dignity and moustaches! !!
4 What's little tobacco, indeed, that a wo-
man should set herself up to abridge
/ mans comfort?
i "And if ever got married." (and OF
course should, for to what end was a
woman created, if not to take husband
TO sew on his buttons and mend his gieyes2}
/ .swouldn't make modeP-wife
| Do you suppose that | would fret and
crumble, if he should bring home some
4 men to dinner, and was unprepared, or
did not feel well, or hadn't a stick of wool
cut to get dinner with
4 aI,d like to see myself stoop to such
littleness !'' And | never would ask him
to amuse the children while / went to
church, or. to lay down his newspaper and
watch the baby while left the room
i few rsninutes Not 1 What was wo-
matt made for, if not to take care OF the
II children Ifthey were sick in the night
I wouldn't ask him to getenp and bother
his brains And if he should bring lit
Ls;ed dirt or snow in the house, s'do you sup
pose Pd.explode like campheme lamp .
i 1xIbecause hebmade mess for me to clear
up?
And If lie chose to keep dinner wait
ing an hour or two, wo,occasionally, wouldn'
snrr and say, sssThat's always the wa.
with these men; they never think Q
lfniaking ass trouble J" No; Id alway
baye a sweet smile when he came in, an
Ibeready TO jump and hang up his coat, an
learn the children to be quiet, so fathe
could read undisturbed and / would b
as whist as mouse, and not bother hir
with question: about this, that and tn
other.
And il he chose to spend his evening
at the club or elsewhere,,"I wouldn't loo
as black as an overchared thunder-cloud
when he did come, and act as if my sens
of honor and justice had been terrib
outraged.
If he took drive or ride occasionall
wouldn't act as if expected he wou
OF ask me to go, and be found in tears al
lyd simpering when he came back. If wa
n ted new press or bonnet, I'd ask HIM II
re could get it, and how much should pa
%. etc: and if he said "I didn't need it,"
of he hadn't the money" l woudn't fla
In up and twit him about his broadcloth, h
ry gold studs, cigars. wine, etc.; but | wou
~ give up mildly, meekly and pleasantly, a
i'm wouldn't be always teasing him to b

~, And if he went to concerts, lectures
ie- the like, wouldn't expect to go too. w
NC must a woman always have a finger
re-. every pie 2.

last as a woman should; and act towa'
gentlemen as one snss"ld to the lords
