Good-FelloWShlpa and Good Dl-
gestion the Basis of Happiness.
Tie necessity of good moral and
physical health and companionship is
urged by l.. l.. Y. B., who writes to the
GLOBE on How to Keep a Man in
Line" as follows:
Ii every woman in this fair land of
ours were good, true, pure, womanly
woman, then all the men would keep in
hne. Since this is not so. and the one
man whom it is your duty to keep
straight is your husband, | would saw.
first of all, be companion in the high
est sense of the word. No matter what
his profession or business may be, mas
ter that subject until you are capable of
talking with HIM upon it. If he is
doctor, study and learn enough about
medicine and surgery to talk with him
lntelligently, or what is of much great
er importance, to be able TO listen un-
derstandingly when he talks to
you. There can be no sympathy
between two people where there is not
a mutual understanding of each others
aims and ambitions. When you do this
he will seek you instead of some one
else, outside Of home, as a companion.
Sympathy is the great need of all hu-
manity.
Then, also. keep informed upon the
subjects of the day that he will be proud
to have other men know you, and that
you act as a stimulus for his own intel
lectual Improvement.
The man who knows his wife would
never countenance any scheme for il
legitimate mOney-making, nor any plot
TO defraud his fellow men will often be
kept true to his better nature by this
knowledge, while his sense of moral
right might not have been sufficient.
Let your motto be TO thine own self
be true" and then you might revise the
rest and add land it will follow as the
Aight the day that thy husband will also
he true" Above all things be womanly.
There is no incentive in the
world that brings out all thaC is truest
and best in mans nature like a
womanly woman. Be cheerful and
courageous. Put aside self. and when
he comes home be all that is noblest,
truest and best, ready to sympathiZe
with him when he needs sympathy, to
laugh with him when he is jubiIant, to
inspire an animated conversation when
when silence is most useful and desir-
Gus. Women have the small worries of
everyday life that are hard to bear:
but it's the men who have the brunt of
life's burdens.
Remember that the man who is happy
and contented at home, well fed. botIi
i'll mind and body, will not 20 out into
the world with his reasoning powers
impaired, his mind i'll at ease. nor his
common sense biased. He is not dis

remembering the purity of the wife he
has just left at home. While the mem
Dry of her kind parting words and the
touch of her lips are yet sense of ioy.
and the perfume of the flowers that she
has pinned upon his coat still remind
him of her. he can do none but good
deeds and think none but pure
thoughts.
Do not forget the inner man. It's
every woman's duty to see that each
and every one in her household has
plain, well cooked and nourishing food.
The state of our morals is often the re-
suit of the state of our stomach and
liver. Owen Meredith says, "Civilized
man must have cooks" See TO it that
the cook is good one. The man who
has eaten good. wholesome, digestible
food has clear brain, blood that circu-
lates freely and muscles that are strong
