In keeping watch and ward over her
husband a woman should never ignore
the fact that it is the nature of all men
to like a pretty woman. They are at
tracted to them just as the bees fly
straight to the flower.
If the wife of the domestic husband
is not careful she will find herself bur
dened with that most dreadful of evils
a bore. Too many persons fail to note
the difference between domesticity and
the rut. The domestic husband is "a
delightful creature, if he is anointed
with the oil of society and garnished
with comraderie.
No man in his heart loves the drudge.
If he loves a woman he will not know
ingly permit her to drudge. If he let's
her drudge the best thing his wife can
do is to rally her wits and enjoy her
self without regard to his lordShip.
The domestic husband requires only
management. This consists of instilI-
ing the belief that every person must

l am not sure the liberty-loving hus-
band is not the greatest problem the
feminine brain has to solve. He is like
the bird who when the wires are about
him, sings and is. merry, because he is
philosophical and makes the best of

The bird is the married man and the
wires about him are those of matri-
mony. When bachelor he loved his
liberty. AS benedict he would be less
than human if he did not occasionally
long for the fieshpots of Egypt. His
wife should remember this, and also

There is a variety of husband who is
indolent without cultivation-the sort
willing to be supported by wives. I
would not give such a man a penny or
a nights lodging. The sooner a wo-
man who finds she has married a man
of this sort rids herself of him the bet
ter She should not mince matters, but
turn him out. The human mind is too
shallow for the fullness of contempt
such men deserve.
Sometimes men are unconsciously
lazy through unrealized selfishness.
The way to cure that sort of a hus-
band is to be selfish with him. He must
learn that every man should be for
himself after he has considered the
convenience of his wife. The confirmed
bachelor is the worst type of the un-
consciously selfish man. When he mar
ries, his wife's first duty is to make it
clear to him that there is something
else in the world besides his own COM
fort.
The ultra attractive husband is a
stumbling block. He seems difficult to
manage because he knows women are
fond of him. Yet he is the simpleton.

The indolent husband is often made,
not born. 1t is the wife who makes
him so, because it is a pleasure to her
to cater to his comfort She begins
married life by waiting on him. After
experiencing delights of this sort-be-
ing spoiled, some people term it's it
surprising that he gradually and un-
consciously grows into the habit of ex-

people should so criticize him. The up
shot of il all is, that he is waited on
more than ever. Cultivated Incidence is

If his wife is at all bright, she will
keep his admiration and attention by
making herself attractive in the ways
he likes woman to attract. You may
call this policy or deceit if you are a
man, but If you are a woman you will
know better. A husband must be dealt
with according to his kind He is often

If the attractive husbands wife real

never permit him to think her jealous.
She will seem to rejoice in the admir-

make merry over their desire to fiirt,
ignoring the fact that he was amiably

If the wife of the attractive man is
wise she will see that he avoids the

the world are thoroughly familiar with
this form of illusion. If the husband

friendship is purely Platonic the wife

will have become once more established

eternal peace?
The point itself is a rock-ribbed prom
ontory extending some distance into the
Pacific Ocean. The region around Point
Iona is described land as fair as
Acadia and as fertile as the valley of
the Nile, a realm of perennial seed-time
and harvest. having a climate in which
the four seasons are strangely blended
into one and where flowers of rarest
beauty scent the air
Aside from the surroundings there is
legend connected with Point Iona
which no doubt leads to the holding of
the first Universal Brotherhood Congress
on this site.
The story runs that ages ago when this
part of California formed part of the
vast Lemurian continent, and indeed it
is said to be also a part of old Atlantis,
an ancient temple of wisdom was erect
ed here and dedicated to the gods of
light, wherein the worthy were taught
the truths of the inner man and his be-
ing Rich stores of knowledge and wis
dom were given to those who would use
the same unselfshly for the benefit of
Here the gods touched hands
with men who living for the soul
of things made earth heaven being con-
scious of their unity with the divine
But alas! There came a time when
most of these same men began to use
the powers thus gained for purely self
ish purposes. Then 1t was the lights grew
dim and finally went out from the hearts
of men, the teacher was forced to retire,
the school was destroyed to await some
coming age when men, grown weary,
heart-sick, hopeless, wandering in the
trackless waste, should face again the
rising sun in search of ancient wisdom
and the truth. Then the great teacher
will appear again in human guise among
her own to rear upon the ruins of the
old a new and grander temple dedicated
to all that lives"

lieve in any religious system or philoso-

erance for the opinions of others which
he expects for his own.
To accomplish the objects different
methods are being gradually introduced
for the purpose of simplifying and pre-
senting mystical knowledge in a practi-
cal manner.
The Theosophcal Society is the depart
ment of teaching of universal brother
hood. where any one may obtain a philo-
sophical and ethical basis for the prac-
tice of brotherhood, for be it remembered
that there is no higher object in any of
its departments than to make brother
hood a living power in the life of the in
dividual.
The practical arm of this movement is
the International Brotherhood League
which seeks to extend aid and help and
comfort to suffering humanity through
out the world. not depending upon a state
of war for its existence, but standing
ever ready to meet the demands of the
moment wherever found. thereby being
international in its character.
Deserving brief mention on this line are

lshed during the past year for boot

children and wayfare homes. where all

HERE are two ways of manag-

u lar and the other by mental force
~ Few wives can utilize the first;
therefore the majority of women
must think out the solution of the

cessity is governed by the characteris-
tics of the individual with whom she
has TO deal.
Husbands are divided into six classes

jealousy is characteristic of all men.
and nothing is more unpleasant.
In the abstract, it makes no differ
ence whether the woman is pretty or
homely. If a man has an idea that she
has a better opinion of another
than himself in any way, he is jealous
unless he is absolutely indifferent to
the woman. Love and jealousy are
never separated. Sometimes the man is
clever enough to conceal the latter, but
it is always present.
There is no greater error of judgment
than that of humoring a jealous hus-
bands whims. 1t is like plying the
whip TO a runaway horse. A wife
should go on with her life as if jealousy
did not exist. In marrying, she agreed
TO make herself neither slave nor re-
cluse.

She should convince her husband she
cares for him more than all else, but
by that she is not barred from liking
