HUSBANDS, STAND UP!
AMBER THINKS IT is TIME SOME
ONE TOOK YOU IN HAND.

them for a good while, have been Doth
cred to find ripe opportunity.
In the first place, to plunge right into
the midst of things without further walt
ing, how do you go home to your Wlteat
night? Chapters have been written as
how she ought to receive you; now let
me say word about the other slde OF
the question. When you find a tlred
little woman who has been 50 hard az
work all day with live babies ana an IN
competentgirl, callers, and mlsceliaheous
jobs of mending, pastry making ana
picking, that she has found no tlme 20
curl her hair and put on her best gown
to meet you, what do you 90!
WHICH IS YOUR WAY?
Do YOU, like dear old sympathizing
fellow, take her worn face into a warm
embrace and whisper in her ear: "Never
mind. dearie; have got home, and we'll
share the cares for the rest of the day.
You 90 and rest yourself while / put
Johnnie and Trot and baby to bed?' Do
Won see that she sits in the easiest chair
while Won skip around and minister to |
her wants? Do you keep silent while she |
reads the evening paper Ito herself), and
are YOU mindful Of draughts and slam
ming doors while she takes her ease in
slippered content? Do the stars dance
the Newport, and does the moon sing
psalm tunes? Jtlst about as much as you
do all this, You expect the hushed home,
and the siesta with the paper, and the
slippers for yourself, to be sure, and if
YOU don't get them you think you're ter
riblv abused and ten to one founce off
to the club to escape the noise and con-
fusion, but YOU never take it into your
head to consider that the day has been
lust as long, and Just as busy, and
thousand times more full of petty cares
for her as for you.
You bolt into the house, and the nrst
thing you say is: "Why isn't supper
ready? I'm as hungry as houna!
"Great Scottl Can't you Keep that cnllo
quiet" or, What's the use OF burning
SO much coal? Turn OH the camper!
You are enough to rum Vanderoiit'
That's the keynote OF the song you sing
and yet you think it is dreadful II she
ever makes remark harsher than the
bleat OF a lamb. suppose you nag Deeh
a hanson cab driver, a board OF trade
: man, cook in restaurant, cash boy Tor
a dry goods mousse a kindergarten le1cner
and a hospital nurse all combined Tor the
: whole day long, wouldn't you DC more
tired, and wouldn't there be more excuse
. for your lrrltablllty than when you nave
simply attended to single systematizeo
branch OF business.
A woman IS required TO pc everything
from reception committee TO receive
calls in the parlor, to a nurse IN the nur-
sery, and chief executive in the Kitchen
while business man devotes himself to
a single trade or profession.
: DON'T BE AFRAID OF "sPooN1Na."
And next, how do you entertain your
wife eveningsp If you were invited into
a neighbours house to spend couple OF
3 hours with his wife and daughter, how
! would you entertain them, I wonder?
Why, YOU would put a posy in your but
tonhole, and slick up your hair, and blow
little perfume out Of the atomizer all
: over yourself, and throughout the even
ing YOU would overflow with bright
: anecdotes and be so racy and charming
= that after YOU had gone away everybody
~ would say: "What perfectly delightful
man Mr., Perkins isl What good com
panyv'
Now let us see, sir, how you entertain
your wife. You stand in front Of til.
fire and pick your teeth with a woode1
toothpick until she starts to put the chill
dren to bed. and every now and the1
Won make few cheerful remarks abou
