To ire Editor
When he has changed from n lover to a hus-
band do not content yourself with just having
caught him, but set your brains to work and
find out how to keep him. Give him all the little
attentions you gave him during courtship: study
THINK lie has lost mis- freedom by marriage; give
INN his freedom.
When he wishes to go anywhere evenings or
Sunday, do not look cross or disappointed to
make him feel he is doing wrong in taking n
little recreation. A man when. he works all the
week does not always want to be tied to petit
coats or babies; he wants to take an outing once
III Il while in his own fashion.

10 The Editor
THESE are collated from the Proverbs of King
Sol, mon:
WHO can find q ~virtuous woman for her price
il lar above rubies.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in
her, 80 that he shall have no need of spoil tuut-
side treasure), for where his treasure is his heart
L. also.
She will do him good and not evil all the days
of her life.
Size riseth up yet while it is night. and glveth
meat strength to her household.
Her candle lightl goeth not out by night.
She rtrCtcheth out her hand to the poor.
Her husband is known.
Strength and honor are her clothing, and she
sha ! rejoice in time to come.
She opencth her month with wisdom, and in
her tongue il the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household,
and eateth not the bread OF idlencss.
Her children rise up and call her blessed, her
husband also, and he praiseth her.
Favor is deceitful. beauty IL vain, but a woman
that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

THE rENoR,s SWEET REVENGE

He was tenor singer noted for the
sweetness of his voice, and consequently
q favorite with the public. This was
gratifying to him, but encOreS grew the
some after a time and he began to con-
consider it unfair that he should be
compelled to perform double work every
night that he sang. He thought these
things over until he waxed wroth.
One day while promenading the prin-
cipal street of the city where he was
singing, he thought he would do little
encOring himself and see how it would
work. He stepped into a hat store,
found the proprietor, whom he recog-
nized as patron Of the opera, land asked
him the price of a silk hat.
Seven dollars, was the reply.
The tenor selected one and paid for it,,
and then he shouted, Encore
What do you mean asked the pro-
prietor, in amazement.
Repeat the hat, said the tenor
Certainly, sir, said the proprietor,
handing down another, an exact dupli-
cate.
The man with a voice picked them
both up and started for the door.
Hold on there cried the halter. you
haven't paid for that other hat.
got it on an encore, explained the
tenor.

Yes, it's an encore hat. l paid for one
and then called for an encore and got
it. That's all right.
But we don't do business that way.
You oblige US to, though.
Explain.
