A husband marries pretty, silly girl,
who has been used to taking no more
thought as to how she should be clothed
than the lilies of the field. He begins
by not liking to refuse any of her re-

fails into habits of careless extravaganza,
and feels herself injured when, at last, a
remonstrance comes. How much wiser

money to spend this summer. How,

womanliness from her love, and is ready
to plan and help and make her small
sacrifice for the general good. Try her
