y mans stomach is by no means the
surest road to his heart, and the wo-
man who depends upon this pathway
alone To reach coniugal happiness, will
certainly miss the goal. \ man needs
physical comforts at hom', and should
have all that lovin- ...-c can provide,
but ne also needs TO feel that wife is
companion in the field of thought. and
to recognize her right to his thought
full kindness, and dependence upon him
forhcart comforts that no other can give.

selfish from thOughtlessness. than from
innate meanness. Ergo, if mans
whole heart is in his home the rest Of
him is ''apt' to be in the right place,
and if a woman commands her hus-
bands respect and love she is ''apt" to
receive it. Children of happy and con-
genial parents are APT to make good, 4
