My second advice to YOU in your

Some of the best people in the world
are the hardest to get along with.
There are people who stand up in pray

at home are uncomprumising and

inaccuracy. Find out the points; what
are the weak points, If may call them

aloOf from them. DO not carry the
fire of your temper too near the gun

by disorder in the household. let the
husband be careful where he throws

chief pleasure circle around about that
