lightly to the top OF picture
frame OF on the headbOard of bed
stead. Your wife expects to put it
in the clothes hamper, anyway, and
by the time she has walked a few
yards on the bed-springs, or Joyful

will be pleasantly remainded of the
hamper and of--yOul
Do not neglect to kick up a row
if your buttons are not all on and
your underwear in perfect order
Don't spare any pains to encour-
age habits of domesticity in your
wife. Manly exertionS in this direc-
ton have been known to transform
a lighthearted girl into an incom-
parable housekceper.
Don't allow the presence of com
pany to interfere with your appre-
cation of your wife's perfection in
housekeeping. If you sec dust on
the mantelpiece wipe it carefully
away with your pocket handker-
chief. You will at once inspire
YOUR friends with admiration for
your ;hOrOughness'
Don't be tied-mOuthed about at
fairs in your own home. If the
cook puts too much butter on the
steak, call her in at once and reprl-
mand her In stentorian tones. You
supuort the house and it is your
privilege. Don't forget that you
are the captain.
Don't feel any hesitancy IN IN
curing of your wife what she dad
with the 81 you gave her foar
weeks ago. Carelessness in none.
tarv matters has been known to
engender extravaganza of a very
serious nature in women. Never
forget the Old saying that "a wo-
man can throw out of the back
window with a spoon more than a
man can pitch into the front door
with a shovel" and "wiIlful waste
breeds woeful want
Don't contract a habit of telling
your wife where you 60 when you
are out at nights. The female
mind is very susceptible, and what
she don't know won't trouble her.
Don't fail to break up few arti-
cles of furniture the first time she
reads one of your letters or looks
in your pockets. The exercise may
not be agreeable, but the impress
sion YOU make may do you a good
turn in the future, as she is liable
to find something she would not
approve of.
DON'T trouble yourself to look
very thoroughly for anything you
can't find, because you might find
it and thus interfere with her pre-
rogstive.
Don't refuse an invitation to a
theater on your wife's account
Don't mind about sending her
word, and 60 right from your place
of business. She will conclude by
10 o'clock that you are not coming
anyway, and if she sits up and
rocks the baby till IL she will be
the more glad to see you when you
do come.
Don't deny yourself the pleasure
of being we'll dressed at all times.
You are a business man and 1t is
your duty. To be- man among
men it is necessary that you be
well dressed at all times. If
your family love you they will de-
sire YOU to look a gentleman at
whatever sacrifice Of comforts and
necessaries on their part.
Don't contract the habit of walk
ing easily. You will be often an
noyed by the children If you do,
and when your wife rises in the
morning to build the fires she feels
as fresh as bird, and she loves to
see you enjoying the refreshing
slumber Of an innocent child. Don't
let her know that you are awake.
Don't allow your wife to handle
any money in running the house.
Pay all the bills yourself, and then
you know Just where all the money
goes to. Women are not expert
enced in monetary matters. They
are liable to pay their lady friends
car fare, and they are fond Of rib
bons. Some are even addicted to
foreign missions.
Don't be too much interested IN
your wife's ailments. Headache,
neuralgia and pains in the back are
common to the femme constitution.
Tell her so, and in time she may
become quite heroic. Sympathy
generates hypOchOndra in many
cases. Always suggest a disorder

influence.
