BILE. You ought to be in the store half
an hour" Sympathy of occupation If
the husbands work cover him with the
SCOT of tho furnace, or the odors OF
leather or soap factories, let not the
wife be easily disguised at the begrimed
hands or unsavory aroma. Your gains
are one, your interests are one, your
losses are one. Lay hold Of tie work of
life with both hands. -Four hands to
fight the battles, four eyes to watch for
the danger, four shoulders on which to
carry the trials. 1t is very sad thing
when the painter has wife who does
not like pictures. 1t is very sad thing
for a pianist when she has husband
who does not like music. 1t is very
sad thing when a wife is not suited I'M
less her husband has what is called
"genteel business So far as under
stand "genteel business" it is some
thing to which man goes at 10 O'Clock
in the morning and from which he
comes home at or o'clock in the
afternoon and gets large amount of
money for doing nothing. That is, I be-
lieve, "genteel business" and there
has been many wife who has made
the mistake Of not being satisfied until
the husband has given up the tanning

nothing to do but smoke cigars and
drink wine and get himself into habits
that upset him, going down in the
maelstrom. taking his wife and children
with him. There are good many trains
running from earth to destruction
They start all hours Of the day and all
hours of the night. There are the
freight trains. They go very slowly and
very heavily, and there are the accom-
mediation trains going on toward de-
struotion, and they stop very often and
let a man get out when he wants to,
but genteel idleness is an express
train, satan is the stoker and death is
the engineer, and, though one may come
out in front of it and swing the red flag

word, it makes just one shot into perdl-

people sure of Observation-Disclosures, those
who have nothing to do; secondly,
those who have something to, but who
are too lazy or too proud to do it.

I have one more word of advice to
give to those who would have happy
home, and that is let love preside in it,.
When your behavior in the domestic
circle becomes mere matter of calcu-
lation, when the caress you give is
merely the result of deliberate study CT
the position you occupy, happiness lies
stark dead Oh the hearthstone. When
the husbands position as head of the
household is maintained by loudness OF
voice, by strength Of arm, by fire OF
temper, the republic Of domestic bliss
has become a despotism that neither
God nor man will abide. Oh, ye who
promised to love each other at the altar
how dare you commit perjury? Let ne
shadow of suspicion come OF your atiec
ton. 1t is easier to kill that flower that
it is to make it live again. The bias
from hell that puts out that light leaves
