Practical Lesson on the Management of a


Husband.
1t is true story. I who narrate Il
vouch for it. The exquisite humor Is
enhanced by the fact that the wife did
not know there was any humor at all
in the story or that it was anything else
than a thoroughly serious and business
like matter She was a little woman,
with bright red hair, nose slightly tip
tilted and her bump of firmness fairly
we'll developed. She had her husband
down among the shops TO buy parlor
carpet and a sideboard for the dining
room. He held the purse strings, there
fore had to be taken along. The little
wife knew just what she wanted. She
had been pricing the things time and
again with the longing eyes of WON
an who loved pretty things and could
not often get them. They bought the
carpet she wanted. Then came the side
board. The one she had selected was a
beauty. It's price was $50. The hus
band said it was too much; he would
not pay for it. He selected cheaper
one and said that was his ultimatum.
Madam whispered to the clerk aside,
Don't you persuade him to take that
or | will never come into your store
again. Then she coaxed at the old
man. Like so many husbands who like
to show the firm character of their do
mestic discipline, he only became hard
er necked the more he was coaxed. AT
last the little bright haired wife ex-
claimed as if it had just struck her: Il
declare it's nearly nooni You must be
hungry-you had such an early break
fast. Now, [ don't care for anything
to eat, but l know you are faint and
tired with this bother. I've got little
money. Let us go into restaurant and
get You a nice hot beefsteak." but
where II we go?" said he. "Oh, L know
the incest kind of a place, very near
here too They went She did. not
hurry him. He ate. Broiled beefsteak,
French fried potatoes, cup of steaming
hot, fragrant coffee, warmed him and
thrilled him like loves young dream.
He beamed patronizingly on the anxious
little wife. AS they passed out of the
restaurant he remarked: Lets go and
look at that $50 sideboard again. J
s'pose there'll be no living with you if
you don't get it. -
Don't be selfish; don't be too self sacri-
fcing. Be just right. Treat yourself
as you would treat anybody else.
