How to Keep Your Husbands Love.

MoA0 up YOUR IuIlu, ITOm the Ocgln-
ming, that, whatever happens, you will
never lose your individuality, nor give
in one iota to his opinion; air your diff
ferences upon every possible occasion !;
it will teach him to respect you, and
furnish unlimited food for the gossips.
After the honeymoon is past, and be-
fore, if you think it necessary, grow
slack in regard to your personal appear
ance, and, If he has any remarks to
make, tell him s'that you didn't know
when you married him that he was able
to dress you like queen, and you
hadn't discovered it yet, for the matter
of that; but, if he wishes you to set up
for a queen, you are ready and willing
to do it. As it is, as you are obliged to
do the work Of servants, you claim the
privilege of looking like them; if he has
any objection, you shouldn't object to
his hiring girl"
IF his love does not seem to be grow
ing greater under this management, be-
come careless about your house and in
form him, if he demonstrates about it,
that "your house is not palace that
you are aware; if you had home such
as you always imagined that you should
be mistress of you should, probably
take some delight in keeping it looking
nicely; as it is, you can't see the use,.

When at home be in the tsblues'' con-
tinually; look on the dark side of every
thing; never give your husband word
of encouragement from one years end
to another, but prophesy his eternal
ruin, financially, upon every available
opportunity. In view of which get
every cent you can from him to make a
show away from home.
Endeavor to get up Irritation with
every man you meet in society. The
remarks he will hear concerning your
conduct viii certainly fill him with UNI
dying love.
At the same time be frantically jeal-
GUS of him, and give him to understand
that you don't trust him when out of
your sight. So exalted an opinion of
his honor can not but make him eventu-
ally worthy of your utmost confidence,
When he goes out of an evening for
business or pleasure, and fails to arrive
at home at the instant upon which you
have mentally fixed for his return, bolt
up the house and compel him to arouse
the entire neighborhood before you open
it. Such wifely conduct will undoubt-
eddy put him into a remarkably loving
mood. * sg-ss
Snub him and tyrannize over him in
the presence of his bachelor friends, be-
fore whom he is solicitous of appearing
as the most enviable man in existence,
and to whom he is particularly anxious
to rehearse the delights of benedictdom.
The modification he will feel at the frus-
tration of his laudable desire will most
assuredly produce reaction in yourfa-

Should all other means seem likely to
fail, become most hopelessly attached
to your dear parents, and if they reside
in different city from that in which
you live, spend all the time you posi-
bly, can with them, making life dismal
while you are at home with means be-
cause you can't see your dear parents
every day. Should your husband man
ifest any dissatisfaction with this, open
a private deluge at once and tell him
that you never knew before that you
had married a brute. Such affecting
devotion to your parents must surely
inspire him with unquenchable love and
admiration. But if, with the rest of the
programme, it doesn't appear to do so
after dozen years or more, don't give
