The Care of husbands.

WTttttnJOT Ie sunday Dtc.
A popular and delightful writer in a
recent article explains to young wives
r great many ways and means by which
they may retain the love and devotion
Of their husbands and spread the CLAM
our and CLEAN OF the honeymoon out
over the widening years of existence.
All this is nice and good in its way but
sometimes the point with girls is to get
the husband. There IS where all the
effort is. There is not much thought
wasted on the after-dificulties, as every
girl imagines herself fully competent
to manage a husband, once he is caught.
The process works much after the old
recipe for cooking a hare: "First catch
your hare" The rest is easy, as all
that is required to completely cool n
husband is to keep him continually in
hot water.
There are a great many ways of MAX
ing things interesting for u husband,
and most women understand them, but
whan it comes to amusing them and
keeping them good-natured. it is much
like learning to manage the first baby.
''These are a few of the simplest rules
given in the article before mentioned.
always keep the house in order and
have meals on time"
always be neatly dressed and your
hair be~comingly arranged"
Never allow the children to annoy
him, and always meet him with a
SMILE"
"Oh, yes, smile, smile always. If he
boxes the baby's ears and kicks the cat
out the back door because there is a but
ton OIL his coat-Smile.
If he brings company home at house
cleaning time-smile.
If he ome home late Mt night from
n democratic rally with his nose vieing
the hues of his bandana, gently guide
his lettering footsteps up the stairs and
smile.
Oh! the dear husbands, what pamper-
ing and petting and spelling it does
take to retain their affection, and
really when one thinks it all over it
seems scarcely worth the while. Women
had better spend their time and pains
in pleasing themselves, and get some
comfort out of existence. IA man may
smile and smile and be a william but
tho womau who is compelled to wear
through life that never ending and
eve extending smile is surely, or at
least must soon be an angel.
