growing in wrong directions.
She keeps him in shape by coll
tinual pruning. The wisest
thing a man generally does are
those which lis wife counsels
him to do. A wife is a good
wielder of the moral pruning
knife. If Oliver Goldsmith had
been married he never would
have worn that memorable and
ridiculous coat. Whenever you

little about badly dressed, or
talking absurdly, or exhibiting
