and the wise young man will quietly look
after them But what the true ,nan mos,
wants Of wife is her comp 'nionship, sym
pathy and love. The way Of life has mnny
drcnry places in it, ond man needs cam

battles to fight with poverty, with cnrmics
and with sin, and he needs \ woman that,
while he puts his arms ronnd her aud feels
he has something to fight for, will hclp him
fight; that will put her lips to his car and
whisper words Of counsel, and her hand to
