A Study Of Husbands.

We hear much about the art of winning
husband. Let US take a step further and
make a study Of keeping a husband. If he
is worth winning he is worth keeping. This
is wicked world, and man is dreadfuy
mortal. Let US take HIM Just as he is, not as
he ought to be. In the first place, he is very
weak. The wife must spend the first two
years in discovering these weaknesses, count
them on her fingers, and learn them by
heart. The fingers of both hands will not
be too many. Then let her study up these
weaknesses with mesh for every one. and
the secret is hers. Is he fond Of good
dinner Let her tighten the mesh around
him with fragrant coffee, light bread and good
things generally, and reach his heart through
his stomach Is he fond Of fattery about
his looks Let her study the dictionary for
sweet words if her supply gives out. Does
he like 10 hear her talk about his brilliant
intellect? Let her pore over the encyclo-
pTdIa to give variety to the depth of her
admiration. Flattery is good thing to
study up at all hazards, in all its delicate
shades but II must he skillfully done. The
harpy who NAV try 10 coax him away will
not do 1t absurdl, Is he fond Of beauty !?
