A WIFE who knows many wives says:
Some husbands, when they get home
at night tell their wives all about the
business of the day, and about thei,
bank account and about the people
they met, and about what was spoken
of, and about every thing else. Other
husbands never tell their wives abou1
their doings during the day, never
speak of the state Of their finances, an6
never refer to their business. The wife
of such husband knows nothing Of his
affairs, and is apt to be crushed by find
ing out that he is on the road to ruin.
A husband should always tell his wife
about his business and affairs of the day.
