"James, dear, will you bring me a

busy wife.
"That,s just the way with you,
said James, with a frown, as he put

"Just the way with me?'
"Yeel'' he snapped. AS soon as

So he marked the place in the
book at which he had ceased read
ing, and when he went down to the
cellar, grumbling all the way, she
picked mp the volume, and found
that it was a love story, and that
the passage he had been absorbed
in was as follows:
"My darling, when You are my

Women are always being told how
they should behave when the man
of the house comes home; they are
advised to be cheerful and we'll
dressed, no matter how tired they
feel. and in all ways TO make the
home coming bright and pleasing.
putting the annoyances out of sight
and presenting TO the view of the
lord and master only the best side.
when in reality there has been much.
to vex and worry. and which if told
to a sympathizing husband or fath-
er wonld not seem half so burden
some.
This advice is hackneyed, and sell
dom, if ever, is there a word said
about the behavior of the seIf-same
men, whom women are supposed to
please even at the expense of their
own feelings. How many men,
even though they do find their.
wives looking sweet and pretty to
welcome them, ever tell them so2
They take the good looks, the pleas.
ant smile and thewomanly courtesy
as their right and never think that
it would please their life partners to
have some pleasant little compli..
mentary speech made to them, as
in the oIden days before my lord,
the head of the house, was quite so
sure of them.
Then again women is told to keep
herself well informed SO that she
may be able to enter into mental
companionship with her husband.
Some men, perhaps, do sit up and
talk or keep awake long enough to
read aloud a few chapters from
somc widely discussed novel, but
too many find it impossible for them
to keep awake when once the com
Portable slippers and loungingjack-
ct are donned. In many families
the representative evening is the
one during which the husband dozes
on the couch and the wife reads or
sews in undisturbed and maddening
silence.
A man will argue in refutation of
these statements that the wage
Garner is tired and needs rest.
Granted that he does, then let him
be just and not expect too much
from the wife, whose day is far more
wearing and vexatious than his own.
If he likes to see his wife dressed up
let him pay particular attention to
the niceties of his own toilet Ifhe
expects her to be well informed let
him prove himself to be compan-
ion who can talk and help her by a
pleasant interchange of thought.
1t isn't fair to demand SO much in
woman and pass over such glaring
defects in a man.
