Married Peopled Would be Happier.

If home trials were never told to o
neighbor.
II they kissed and made up after every
quarrel.
If household expenses were proper
toned to receipts.
If they tried to be as agreeable as in
courtship days.
If each would try to be support and
comfort to the other.
If each remembered the other was a
human being, not an angel.
If women were as kind to their hus-
bands as they were to their lovers.
If fuel and provisions were laid in dur
ing the high tide of summer work.
If both parties remembered that they
married for worse as we'll as for better.
If men were as thoughtful for their
wives as they were for their sweethearts.
If there were fewer silks and velvet
street costumes and more plain, tidy
house dresses.
If there were fewer "please darlings u
in public and more common manners in
private.
If masculine bills for fancy Havanas
and feminine ditto for rare lace were
turned into the general fund until such
times as they could be incurred without
risk.
If wives and husbands would take
some pleasure as they 60 along, and
not degenerate into mere toiling ma
chimes. Recreation is necessary to keep
the heart in its place, and to get along
without it is o great mistake.
If men would remember that woman
cannot be always smiling who has to
cook dinner, answer the door bea half a
dozen times, and get rid of neighbor
who has dropped in, tend to sick baby,
tie up the cut finger Of q two.year-old,
gather up the playthings of four:year
old, tie up the head of six year,old on
skates, and get an cight-year-old ready
for school, to say nothing of sweeping,
cleaning, dusting, etc. A woman with
all this to contend with may claim it as
a privilege to look and feel little tired
sometimes, and a word of sympathy
would not be too much to expect from
the man who. during the honeymoon,
would not let her carry as much as q
sunshade. .-Saturday Erening Mail.
