For Keeping a Good Husband.

and use it as g. mirror, and the rehec-
ton which you then see of yourself is
the jolly way you used to look when
he came g. counting. Take O bright
teaspoon, turn it lengthwise and look
in it, and you will see the way you
look when he comes home now, ifyou
feel like it.
And yet you love him, and want
him to love you. Take care Men
will stay at the feet of ore woman al
ways If she is forever charming to
them, but no man ever loves the
same woman twice, even if she is his
wife. Therefore, try to be what you
used to be, what he chose.
A woman marries with q general
idea of having some one to go out
with. A man always thinks of hav-
ing some one to stay home with.
If your husband goes out often and
stays late, ask yourself whether you
tempt him to remain at your side.
Do you make bright sitting.room
for him Or do you economi-
cally live in q basement smell
ing of mutton fat, and dimly
lighted by one kerosene lamp ? Do you
tidy up, dress your hair, pin on q
bright bow, and look as if you expect
ed somebody, at his coming-home
hour ? Or do you tie on soiled
apron over your Mother Hubbard,
stick your feet in his old slippers, wear
long crimp-pins in your front hair,
and explain that as nobody is likely
to call you didn't think it worth while
to elk up ?" If so, do you wonder
he stays out the next evening
Do you keep a store of the dread
full things said about you by your
mother-in-law, and refuse to believe
you are misinformed ? If so, as he
has been the old lady's baby, you
need not wonder ifhe ends the CONVEX
sation by taking his hat and 'sgoing
to see man"
Do you keep all the revelations as
to the servants evil deeds, and the
misery ofshopping on small income,
along with the statement that If his
salary is not raised very soon you do
not know what will happen, for the
dinnef-table, when he cannot get
away If you do, reflect that he can
arrange to escape that sort Of thing
by not coming home TO dine at ALL
There are restaurants.
The ordinary man, who works for
some other man has not too Jolly 81
life at the best. He is ordered about
and found fault with by his superior,
angered by the airs of some manager,
and tormented by some comrade who
does all he can to get him into disfa-
vor, with an eye to his own promo
ton. His birthdays arise before him
as so many chances lost; he desires
to climb, but knows not how. His
home is nothing to him if he does not
find peace and rest there, il he does
not there find woman who loves
him, who values his opinion, and
above all, who believes that he loves
her. A doubt of that makes true
hearted husband furious Nor does
he wish to find, in the dear little
beauty he married, either q superior
being who knows more than he does
on all subjects, or forlorn Niobe, all
tears. Ii she Is usually cheerful, he
will comfort her, sympathize with her
in real trouble; but dismal signs over
other women 8 sealskin cloaks or pal
atial residences or diamonds or hosts

annoy and anger him. 1.-The is worth
anything as a husband, he wants
happy home; and man can always
turn his back on q home he is weary
of, while a woman has to stay and
put up with it.
Be pleasant; try to be cheerful; cul-
tivate your smile; make yours as
pretty as though old counting days
we're back again; listen to him with
respect. You have no business, you
know, to marry man you cannot
respect. So laugh at his Jokes, and be
nice to him all the time. Let me tell
you little secret; once having loved
you truly, man will stay at your
feet forever unless you do something
to hurt his self-respect; but if in pride
or vanity Or ill-temper, or all of them
together, you push him away only
just once with the toe of your slipper,
he never returns. AS | have already
said: No man ever loves tbs same
woman twice, not even his own wife.
