Important Point For Young W1ves-laints
For the Hasband n Well
Many q good husband is spoiled In
the cooking. In selecting your hus-
band You shonld not be guided by q
silvery appearance, as in buying mack
erel, nor by the golden tint as If you
wanted salmon The best way is to
select him yourself. as tastes differ.
Do not go the market for him; the best
are always brought to your home
Having caught one, You must learn how
to cook him, to make good dish for
your home.
Some men are roasted too much In
cooking and some keep them constantly
In hot water, while others freeze them
in conjugal coldnesS Some keep them
in pickle all their lives Such women
serve them up with tongue sauce
Some women use too much spice A
little spice improves them, but must be
used with Judgment Now it Is not to
be supposed that husbands viii be ten
der and good if treated in this way, but
they are very delicious when managed
as follows:
Get large preserving kettle, called
the kettle of carefulness, which all
good housewives should have on hand.
Place your husband in it and place it
near the fire of conjugal love Let the
fire be clear. and above all let the heat
be constant; cover him over with at
fectior; garnish him with the spice of
pleasantly; add a little sugar in the
form of what confectioners call kisses:
let them be accompanied with a suffi-
cient portion of secrecy, mixed with
prudence and. moderation. Never use
vinegar or pepper on any account In
getting him ready for the kettle. see
that the linen you wrap him in is
of the best and the tie strings newly
sewed on. Tie him in by strong silk
cord called comfort keep your cover
of duty well over him and your steady
fire of love burning bright
Do not stick him with a fork to see if
he has become tender. but stir him
gently, and you can not fail to know
when he is done. If he should sputter
and fzzle do not be alarmed Some do
this until quite done. Be sure he is
kept well in the kettle until done; for.
like the lobster, he is cooked while
alive. When done. take him from the
kettle and place him at your neatly
spread table, and serve him good din
ner. Unless you become careless or
set him in a cold place, he will keep
well cooked in this way.
Now to be fair we must look at the
other side The husband who is pre-
pared for his home table in this way
| must always come home good tenn
pered, leaving business cares behind,
and do not vent its annoyance on your
wife. Make yourself agreeable toyour
wife and friends. Be lenient to your
wife's faults Be punctual at your
| meals. Remember a cook cannot keep
| a dinner waiting without it's being
spoiled. If you should be in hurry do
| not expect she has two pair of hands
/ Be as kind and attentive to her as you
| were before marriage
| Don't be afraid of little fun al
home and make her shut the house UT
for fear the sun should fade the car
pets, for a merry heart in the home
does good, like medicine Home should
be a voman's heaven in tine world, and
if your wife keeps your home in order
her meals regular and well served, and
does her best to please, let her see yol
appreciate her. and she will be pre-
served in the jar of perfection, as yo,
have been cooked in the kettle of care
