The least bit of importance until he becomes wild
ower, and yet know Of nothing necessary to the
Community as husbands | don't think much of
the small husband. Experience has taught most
women that he is very apt to be malicious and that
he has q nasty way Of rememb ering what you did
Ia the past, throwing II up I'M the present and pre-
dieting its repetition for the future But the medi-
um and the big husband are to be sought for; l
might mention that at times they are almost
bounded. We read lovely books to our husbands
about the friendships of women, and we know that
If time came when we were In pain or worry we
would much rather have our heads q masculine
shoulder and sob out our folly, because q mans not
very much inclined 10 rub 1t In For he thinks,
"Poor little woman she's suffered enough already"
He 10 given to cuddling, and he usually likes an
afectionate wife, He lie not the prosecuting giant
he is represented about buttons, because his but
tons are detachable and he does not rely upon his
interest In how you look, and the American hus-
band is, without any doubt, extremely generous
l wish few American women could have Eng

then realize what It means to take all the money
that Charles has got while Charlie laughs at your
cuteness and then laughs still more when at mid
day you call him up on the telephone, ask him II
he loves you, tell him you have seen bonnet that
will make him think you are fifteen years DID, and
repeat that delicious day when you first met him,

The English husband is not built this way. His
creed Is that woman should have % little me ney
possible, few desires, and then look well as
women who have more money and crafty all their
wishes The Englishman a man Is most inter-
esting-as q husband he Is q failure
The woman who said that heaven to her meant
an American husband was much nearer the truth
than she ever imagined. / do not zee why hus-

the nice thing to that he gets to bed comfort
ably and wait until to- morrow then do not refer
to the inauspicous OCCASION but wait and see what
the day will bring forth. Getting drunk lie not
desirable in husband that Is, getting drunk with
any regularity but 1t Is much better than to believe
that he cares more for any other woman than he
does for you. 1 am going to speak my mind,

this is yearly meeting.
About babies. A baby is the most exquisite
thing in the world, but IL were q baby would

independence 1t is all very nice to lie there in q

cover thrown over you, parasol of blue silk

down by nursemaid who lie much more interested
In the time her young man comes home, or what
chance there is for Tim-getting him on the force.

prickly flannel, and, also against those abomnable

frock trimmed with embroidery which tickled my
ears until they were nearly raw, and should want
