How TO KEEP A WFE's LovE.-Afanv
men. | believe. would retain the warm af-
fcction and romantic lose Of the womeu
they marry much longer. If they would
express the tenderness they feel ofteuer.
Women love to hear things talked about.
They like to hear husband say that he
loves. over aud over again. They like
to have him tell them. in plain terms.
tha. he misses them when they are absent.
They like compliments that como from
the heart, however free from vanity. -
And little praise Of dress. or face, or
manner is a mighty comfort to one Who
has given herself to one man for life
time.
II is said that women have more imag.
ination than men. but 10 matters of lore I
scarcely think that il is so. Man will be-
! lieve in women's love With far less visi-
bic token Of it than is necessary to prove
his tenderness to her. She wants moro
speeches and longer letters than he does,
The momentof promise and vow must be
supplemented by many fond words scat,
terei oil through her life, else grieving
doubts creep into the soul. A term Of
endearment, pet name. some little token
that she is to him what no other womad
is, will make her feel her matrimony d
happier estate than the mer,iest time Of
sirihood. And If in public he shows 9TH
er women that he esteems her and values
her society. jealousy can never poison her

There is. great deal Of talk about wo-
men flowing forever" however tho man
they love may turn out. II is true hi
one sense; he may be rascal to other
folks and not alicnnte her tenderness; but
once convince any hghspmited woman
that her husband is false 10 her, that he
loves her no longer. has '.".remantic
fticndship"-,he worst Of all firtations-
with another woman. and in place Of love
comes an emotion too cold 10 be called
hate. and ,ha, pnts stronger barrier be-
tween them than anger can raise. ST.
lence Is apt TO foster tie doubts that bring
this feeling with it. Oftcn just saying.
"You are better. sweetcr. desrer than any
one else." would save her. But man. af-
ter boybood, rather shrinks from wordy
love-making lie thinks that his wi!o
should take his affection for granted. even
if he sits in the corner Whispering to Miss
Flip with his back to bcr all the escning.

Little words. little deeds. little thought:
falness. would ward of many Of those sep
ararions' which blight 30 many lives. Tru.
ly. these come OF great things. but. little
omissions often lead to them. BY this
neglect he spoils her temper. and the spoilf
temper drives him from her nj last. and
turns her fr.s foolish suspicious into real
iiies.
