4 WIFE'S CONFUSION.

NeiI--you arc, by Jovei and I'm proud
Of you. Come when | may | find the
house as neat as n band-b and nv
little wife as fresh as Il rose. | like
taat, Nell I've always thought that
If anything could put me out of tenn
per with the woman | loved it would
be to come home and find the house
topsy-turvy and my wife in soiled
wrapper and with a rough head. Lit
tie woman, you're treasure and I'm
proud of you!"
And Edward Hastings kissed his
pretty bride until her checks glowed
like the red June roses out in the sun
shine.
She was very happy, very much
pleased and BATTERED at her husbands
praise.
They had just been married six
months, and Nell was pattern for all
housewives.
She arose with the birds that made
their nest III the great apple tree, and
did her housework in the early MORN
ing hours.
Come when he might, her husband
always found his little home in order,
the cupboard stored with something
good to cat, and his wife dressed in
fresh wrapper, with a flower in her
hair and smile of welcome on her
fair face.
eff there is one thing more likely to
provoke Il fellow than another" he
went on, lingering a moment in the
sunny portico, his arm around her
waist, ''tis to bring a friend home to
dinner or luncheon and find every
thing out of sorts. Now there's
Gravesley; his wfe's fine woman
when you see her out-a snowy wo-
man, always well dressed. Well,
Gravesley invited me to lunch that day
we went out together. | went, but /
was sorry enough for it. Such house
as we found-all heels-over-head, and
| caught sight of the mistress disap-
peariug up the stairs in curl papers
and slippers. She was indsposed and
could not see us, the girl said. We
lunched on bread and cheese, and
GrayeSley, poor fellow, though lie
said nothing, looked exceedingly an
noyed. | should have been angry. |
think wife should make it her duty
to keep house and person in presenta-
bic order. SO that her husband, come
when he may, may find her ready to
welcome him.
80 90 ! sad Nell, smiling up in
to his face. You need never to be
afraid 10 invite II friend home with
YOU Nei. 10 matter Il don know,
! siiail pe realty % receive You.
Ned gave her i ringing kiss.
