HUSBANDS RELATIONS.
1t is the sster-in-Law Who Proves the
Thorn in the Flesh.


Husbands relatives are of many
sorts and when a woman marries, she
must make up her mind to take them
as she finds them. and to see only their
good points; for when she is married,
they can be of far more assistance to
her than her own relations, if she han
dies them jlidiciously. When they are
not helpful to her, it is very often her
own fault. according TO the American
Queen. Brides are of many sorts, too.
Generally, the mother-in-law and the
father-in-law admire their sons choice,
and when grandchildren appear, they
become more attached. 1t is the sister
in-laW who, in my experience, proves
the thorn in the flesh; it is she who
generally more or less openly makes
the mischief, especially if the bride
is prettier, younger, weather. or the
poSSesSor of qualities or accomplish
ments lacking in herself. She feels
that another woman, in entering the
family, may deprive her of some of
the attention formerly bestowed upon
her, or that her abilities may be COM
pared with those of her sister-in-law,
and that the comparison will not be
favorable. She is Jealous and in a
hundred small. mean ways makes her
brothers. wife feel her bitterness. She
naturally has influence with her par

signs and considerations about "poor

down Walters wife from the high place
she has reached in her mother-in-la s
affection.
fortunately, all sisters-in-law are not
of this type, and many young wife
is helped and guided through her early
troubles and worries by sympathetic
woman.

of the names given to the new varia-
