YOUR HUSBANDS LOVE.

Make up your mind from the be-
ginning that whatever happens, you
will never loose your individuality.
nor give one iota to his opinion it
will teach him to respect YOU and
furnish unlimited food for the gossips.
After the honeymoon is past, and
before, if you..think it necessary, grow
slack IN regard to your personal ap-
pearance, and if he has any remarks
to make, tell him "that you didn't
know when you married him that he
was able to dress you like queen
and you hadn't discovered it vet, for
the matter of that; but if he wished
you to set up for 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 OBJ
Jections, you shouldn't object to his
hiring girl.
II his love does not grow greater
under the management, become care
less about your house and inform
him, il he demonstrates about it, that
your house is not a palace that YOU
are aware; if you had home such as
yon always imagined 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
Of it
When at home be in the blues
continually; look on the dark side
OF everything never give your hus-
band word of encouragement from
one years end to another, but proph
esy his eternal ruin, financially, upon
every available opportunity; in view
OF which get every cent you can of
him to make show with away from
home. Endeavor to get up a flirta-
ton with every man you meet in So
ciety. The remarks he will hear
concerning yourconduct will certainly
fill him with undying love. At the
same time be betrantically jealous of him,
and give him to understand that YOU
do not trust him when he is out of
yoUr sight. So exalted an opinion
of his honor cannot but make him
eventually worthy OF your confidence.
When ne 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 1t. Such wifely conduct
will undoubtedly put him into re-
lnarkably loving mood.
Snub him andtyrannize over him in
the presence of his bachelor friends,
before whom he is solicitous of ap-
pearing as the most enyiable man in
existence, and to whom he is partic-
ularly anxious to rehearse the delights
Of a benedict. The modification he
Will feel at the Illustration of his laud-
able desire viii most assuredly pro-
duce q reaction in your favor.
Should all other means seem likely
to fail, becoma most hopelessly at
'tached to your dear parents, and if
they reside in different place from
that in which you live spent all the
time you can with them, making life
dismal while you are at home, with
means because You cannot see your
dear parents every day. Should your |
husband manifest any dissatisfaction
with this, open private deluge on
him at once, and tell him you never |
knew before that you had married a
brute. Such affecting devotion to
your parents must surely inspire him !
with unquenchable love and admira-
ton. But if, with the rest of the pro-
gramme, 1t does not appear to DO 80
after a dozen years. or more, do not
OF give up in despair but keep on
trying, and in the end you wit ac-
complish-something.
