MAxIMs FOR MARRIhD MEN, Rules,
maxims and directions for the instruction
and guidance of the young in the affairs of
love and courtship have been for years as
common as camomile." but rules for con-
duct after marriage are seldom met with.
An exchange, however, thus supplies few
which are highly edifying:
MAXIM l. Avoid the use of maxims or
rules in any matrimonial discussion. Wo-
men are incapable of appreciating the ab-
stract. Thus if you remark generally it
takes two to make quarrel,"r you will be
met with the illogical reply that ''she does
not"
MAXIM 2. The same may be said of satire
and irony. Women are not good satirists-
in speech-however much they may in
dulge it in action. They sometimes dis
play crude idea of irony, such as, "Oh,
yes, of course my wishes are of no conse-
quence," or certainly, my love, you are
always right" but being usually in pal
pable passion at the time, the statement
lacks that purely philosophical GOODNESS
which makes irony effective.
MAXIM 8. Only fool has trouble with
his mother-in-law or wife's relatives. He
is usually weak enough to show his dislike
or oppose them. The wise man tiarters
them until he discovers some points of diff.
terence between them and his beloved
partner. He then, of course, espouses the
cause of the relatives. He points out tC
the wife the duty of filial obedience, ant
otherwise SO conducts himself that she, il
she has any spirit. is forced to quarrel witt
them outright He then gracefully yields
| to circumstances. ss Nt
MAXIM 4. The wife makes the husbandi
society. She regulates the visiting list
and controls the card basket. If she does
| not like the Misses Simmons, who used t.
admire you in your anti-nuptial days, she
stops your visits by not returning theirs
! and. as gentleman, you cannot 60 wher
| your wife does not. 1t is her friends whom
| you must cultivate. .s
