Yes, 50 much has been said about
woman's duty in regard to her home
life. we think it is about time to ask
what is the mans duty. Husbands.
you may marry the best woman the
earth can furnish you. yet If you do
not treat her as you ought. your mar
ried life will be anything but a blessing.
If o should get a good wife. then so
much the better, but she will constitute
only half OF the household. You may
have a model wife. but if you would
have Il model home. and live a model
married life you must be a model hus-
band. In counting you are polite and
attentive. you always speak in gentle.
loving tones; continue on that line.

mouth. II things should not go as you

philosophical view of household af-
fairs, do not scold about a broken dish,
it will not mend it: do not slur your
wife unkindly about a poor cur Of cof-
fee. accidents will happen: accustom
yourself to look at the cheerful side of
everything. Try always to feel toward
your wife as o did toward your girl,
speak just as mildly. and treat her just
as considerably. If you scold. and fret,
and play the tyrant. you will ALLEVIATE
your wife's affections: she will feel that
the honeyed words Of your courtship
were deceitful words, and merely sug-
AIRED over the tyrant. and justly so. too.
Think you that she can continue to love
one so transformed. with the same de-
voting? impossible. Believe it. you
can quarrel and live wretchedly with
the most sanity woman that walks this
earth. If you try hard enough. and you
need not try very hard either; just neg
lect her. and give scope to the evil with
in you and the work Is done. You
should never forget your wife's re-
quests. you should never fail to re-
deem your promises. and you should
spend as much time with her in the
home as possible. If you TAXI every oc-
casion to get away from home. go to
club rooms. meet your neighbors at
some resort and talk for hours while
your wife sits alone, waiting in vain
conduct with the warm devotion of
your counting days, when you seemed
to wish to be with her all the time, and
do you think the counting will be reas-
surfing to her heart? Business may
press, and cares annoy. but set aside
some hours to be spent with your wife,
and let nothing break in upon their
sanctity. Better that you lose dollars
and cents than the love Of your wife.
Continue to show her little attentions
which she always received as your
sweetheart. give her little pleasures and
surprises. Probably out OF the many
happily married couples in Laramie
there were not over a dozen husbands
who remembered that the wife used to
enjoy sleigh riding so much and look
ed out with wistful eyes at the merry
crowds in cutters and sleds as they
went gliding swiftly over the snow. But
that husband, or more. who thought his
wife would enjoy an hour out in the
brisk winter air was more than repaid
when he saw the happy smile which
greeted him as he dashed up to the door
in a sleigh drawn by a pair of black
horses with jingling bells and in a few
minutes was lovingly wrapped in warm
robes and off for an hours ride.
And didn't his heart beat with pleas
ure when upon his return she said,
THANK you. dear. | have enjoyed this
ride so much" Didn't it make him
think of his courtship days, and when
at dinner time he found his ~favorite
dish nicely prepared. didn't he say this
won't be the last time | will show her
some little extra attention? But it is
nothing more than is due from you to
the woman you take to be your wife
These little things will strengthen the
love which binds you to her, and cause
your lives to flow peacefully on to-
gether.
Laramie is enjoying the rare music
OF sleigh bells. as the heavy fall OF
snow during the week has made the
finest sleighing we have had for several
winters and every available conveyance
has been transformed into a cutter or
sled and merry parties are induIging
in the sport.
One of the most enjoyable events of
the week was the large caro- party
given on Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. E.
#. Duffy and Mrs. A. F. Johnson. About
thirty guests gathered in the coy home
OF Mrs. Duffy and until dark kept up an
exciting contest at euchre amid general
mirth. The prizes were very hand
