is home pressure.
Some time ago a large London fri
decided that If any of their clerk
married on salary less than 9l5(
that is $3.50 a year, he should be dis
charged, the supposition being tina
the temptation might be too grea
for misappropriation. The larg

by utmost dint of economy, and to b
honest and yet meet ones family ex
penses is the appalling question tina
turns the life of tens of thousands O
men into martyrdom. Let the wifi

no wonder. 1t is a wonder that such

. woman, If you are not willing, by
all that ingenuity of refinement can
effect, to make yourself attractive to
your husband, you ought not to CON-
plain if he seeks in other society
those pleasant surroundings which
you deny him.
Again, l charge you, never talk to
others about the frailties of your
husband. Some people have a way,
in banter, of elaborately describing
TO others the shortcomings or un-
happy eccentricities of a husband or
wife. All, the world will find out
soon enough all the defects Of your
companion. No need of your adver-
tising them. Better initiate those
women who, having made mistakes
In alliance, always have a veil to
hide imperfections. We must ad-
nit that there are rare cases where
wife cannot live longer with her
and his crueliies and out
RACES are the precursor of divorce
nent or separation. But until that
lay comes keep the awful secret to
yourself. Keep it from every being
N the universe, except the God to
whom you do well to tell your trou-
Die. Trouble is only a few years at
most and then you can go up on the

Further: l charge you let there

'onjugal relation. Neither neighbor

Tor sister, nor father, nor mother,
lave right TO come in here. The
married gossip will come around and

'lainly that If she will attend to the
fairs other household you will at
end to yours. What damage some
'eople do with their tongues! Ma

is shut in, first by barricade of

charge you, also, make yourself

husband. What with these floods of
ewspapers and books there is no ex-
use for the wife's ignorance either
bout the present or the past. Ifl
