 New York, March 29.-To see my chum. sandwiched in on the rear platform of the troIlg ear que nj ht last week nIlh nine other hungry beings, who, like myself, were going home to dinner l overheard one man ask another. Well old fellow, where are you going this evening""
 The sola fellow" aae looking business man, for a guess about forty-five years of age, made the r.- mark chat I have used to introduce this week $ letter. Presently found that the chum spoken of was the mans wife. Seventy fares had been rung in. and l couldn't help specn- lating as to how many married men on that car made "chums" of theIr wives. Probably nearly every man on the car had chum, q bosom friend, with whom l Q spent many of his evenings. aud in whose con genial company he pereaed at he unch-eonnter during the noon hour, or exchanged business and social condolences across the inviting re past ut one of the downtown dining clubs. And why not?
 Such social animals as men must have ehums. But how many men make Their wives the chief ehum among all? Some do But many others de not. They sleep at home pay the household bills, furnish new boEnets, do the drama and whist engagements with their wives, but they do not make chums of them. There is not that old-:ashioned, for better for worse, tell-you-all, honey and-hug spirit of c0mpanf0nship which sets them down as chums in every thing When one sees Il man and wife of this kind he feels that they are experiencing some of tht joys of that place concerning whico the preachers talk as if they had been there. II is easy to iQagine how these people chat together in the evening hour, how they plan ana hope aud deny and enjoy. dow each is interested in ali the other is doing Do You Husbands See the
 Point ?
 Make a chum of your wife. Multi ply your common interests. Read the same book. Take an interest in what she does. Talk over your business with her. "Humph,7 9 says man M ho thinks that one might as well talk business with child as with woman, "My wife's busi- ness judgment ouldn't amount to | a row Of plus. l take care of the | business ena of our affairs and she runs the household matters" Fix actly. But we are curious to ast if you have taken the time in which to lay some business project before her, and have you compared your busi- ness judgment with your own? Lots of men entertain the idea that no one else in the family has any judgment except themselves But not so with all men, foi some of the brightest among them consult their wil es about business matters. Not that they talk over every detail pf business with their wives, but 'ather that they consult them be- ore making the more important moves, and so keep them intelligent about and interested in what concerns them both. Pooh-pooh as many men do and 3ay that women simply jump at con ,lusions. Very well, but take note ha5 they have jumped at some very good conclusions by their powers of intuition, and !also write t down as q fact that in many Of -hese eases these wives can exercise
