\ man needs companionship, so he smokes or
drinks, perhaps, or Joins a club, or worse but
where does he get it, as he may with one whose
constant aim is to make home beautiful to him,
to make herself attractive to him, who loves to
listen to his plans, who plans with and for him,
to whom he can conide his most secret thoughts,
who does her utmost to have the world admire
and please him? He needs encouragement.
Where does he get it, as from her, who, unable
to battle herself, urges him forward with all the
inspiration of the fife and drum; with the con-
slant assurance that victory is his, and the an
swering belief that he is the best, and brayest,
and noblest soldier in the whole world? He
needs mora! support hand to stay him from
temptation. What better than a woman S pray

How better gain it, than from constant care for
his wife aud children? lie needs tenderness
with his strength. How obtain it so well as in
his sorrow for the little evils and troubles Of his
'children, or the perplexities Of bis wife? How

| except by the daily doings for and interest in,
and hearbeatings for those he loves2 No man
can hold little children upon his knees, or feel
their chubby hands in his hair, or their little

who has had a wife to watch for his coming, to
get little comforts for him, to caress him when
he is tired, TO praise him, bless him, and forget

loves him she can dress ever so plainly, do all
the housework demanded, be the mother of his
children, and find happiness in it all. The
more she can sacrifice for him the more she feels
she can show her love. If she is not well, make
her so. See that she loosens her dresses have
