Spelling A HUSBAND

An elaborate trousseau is a positive
detriment in many cases. By the time
it is worn out, a man, has decided it
doesn't cost much to dress q wife, and
cries 'ExtrRvagance !" at q SO cloak:
whereas. had he discovered at the out,
set before his erdor cooled, that much
was expected of him he would have
accepted the additional demand as one
Of his matrimonial obligations.
So too with her empty pocketbook.
The bride off few months hates dread
fully to remind her husband that she
lacks money for the countless little
things that women not only delight in
but actually need.
So she goes without or takes to hint
ing, and pouts because her spors3 is
obtuse. o. she gets independent" and
will not ask. and yet suffers herself to
feel aggrieved. The money question:, =
says a noted woman writer, lies close
at the DOT OF marital unhappiness s"
and I believe it. A girl who has earned
her OWN money and spent it to her
liking 6nds Il n of the hardest of
l. aIs 70 be reduced to dependence, and
.erra9s expected to render an account
VI what j given" her. She lays the
basis or nfe long humiliation through
that fe sliag OF dependence unless she
''begins right" by giving her husband
to understand at the outset that her
work, in the matrimonial copartner
ship, has a definite value that should
crystalize into s0lid cash that is hers
to spend as her judgment dictates,
aud without being expected to account
for it.
Foolish indeed is that young wife
who hates that dependent feeling"
so much that she takes in sewing or in
other ways endeavors to earn enough
to supply her needs: By and by he
will expect her to do it, perhaps grum
BILE if she doesn't. If she wishes to
earn, and can do so, let her; but let
her earnings go into the common fund
out Of which she draws with as much
right and liberty and freedom az the

Aud then, with reference to the little
tentions which were paid the girl be
fore marriage and which are so apt to
begin to diminish shortly after the
wedding day. To begin right. " claim
them just as much after marriage as
bafore. Show yourself just as helpless
about putting on ovcrshoes, carrying
bundles or getting into or out OK a
wagon as you ever were. A man drops
out of the habit Of rendering these
attentions because his vile shows she
can get on without them. Do this as
much for his sake as for your own,
for nothing makes him appear so much
a man and a gentleman as thoughtful
ness and consideration for and polite
ness to his wife.
Some women give up their own indi
vidualisy so much as to become mere
echoes of their spouses' opinions, preju-
dices, likes and dislikes. (They are

LABOR

10 following poem entitled Labor, " from Poetry of the Pacific. "s fr
n of Frank Soule, one of the early California editors and father of Pr
Soule of the State University Of California:
.EsPIsE not laborl God did not despise
The handicraf5 which wrought this gorgeous globe,
- That Il owned its glories with yon jsWeled skies
g And clad the earth in natures queenly robe;
r. He dug the first canal-the rivers bed
Built the first fountain in the gushing spring,
Wove the first carpet for mans stately tread.
He made the pictures painters initiate;
The statuarys hrst grand model made;
Taught human intellect to recreate,
And human ingenuity to trade.
There is no deed, or honest labor born,
That is not Godlike; let the thoughHess scorn,
God labored first; toll likens US to Hin.
He made the flowers your learned florists scan,
Aud crystalized the atoms of each GEM;
Ennobled labor in great NATURES plan
And made it virtues brightest diadem.
IT'S not profession that ennobIes man;
IT'S not the calling that need eer degrade.
The trowel is as as worthy as the pen;
The pen more mighty than the heros blade.
The man, what eer his work, whatever done,
If intellect and honor guide his hand,
Is peer to him who greatest state has won,
And rich as any Rothschld of the land.
Work for some good, be it ever so slowly;
Cherish some flower, be it ever so loWly;
Labor, all labor is noble AMI holy.
Let thy great deed be thy prayer TO thy GOD.

Husbands are much what the wives

there is a great deal in beginning right.
