Only let a woman be sure that she ii
precious to her husband = not useful
not valuable, not convenient, sim,
ply, but lovely and beloved, let her be the
recipient of his polite and hearty atten-
ton; let her feel that her care and love
are noticed, appreciated and returned; let
her opinion be asked, her approval
sought, and her Judgment respected in
matters of which she is cognizant; in
short, let her only be loved, honored and
cherished, in fulflment of the marriage
vow, and she will be to her husband, and
her children and society wellspring of
pleasure. She will bear pain, and foil
and anxiety, for her husband s. love is to
hera tower and fortress. Shielded and
sheltered therein, adyersity will have lost
its sting. She may suffer, but sympathy
will dull the edge of sorrow. A house
with love in it-and by love I mean love
expressed in words, and looks, and deeds,
for / have not one spark of faith in love
that never crops QUITS to house with
out love, as person to machine; one is
life, the other is mechanism-the un-
loved woman may have bread just as light,
a house just as tidy as the other, but the
latter has spring Of beauty about her,
a joyousness, an aggressive, penetrating,
and peryading brightness to which the
former is a stranger. The deep happi-
ness in her heart shines out on her face.
She CLEANS ever it. 1t is airy and grace
full, and warm and welcoming with her
presence; she is full of devices and plots,
and sweet surprise for husband and fam
lily. She has never done with the poetry
Of life. She herself is lyric poem set
ting herself to all pure and gracious mel
odies. Humble household ways and du-
ties have for her golden significance
The prize makes her calling high, and the
end sanctifes. the means. Glove is Hea-
ven, and Heaven is Love. "
