Rules Published Then for Guiding
Their Conduct Seem Curious Now.


The following are some extracts from
a set of Rules to be Observed by wives.
printed in a number of the London La
dies Magazine of 1910. They are com
prehcnsive and deal with almost every
emergency possible in married life:
when Il young gentleman makes you
an offer hold yourself fiattered by his
preference and proportonately grateful
IF you accept him (Which we will sup
pose, of coursel. study his temper and
inclinations, that you may better accom-
nlodate your own to them.
After marriage obey him cheerfully,
even though you think him in error; it
is better that he should do wrong in
what he commands than that you should
do wrong in Directing to it.
If he hatters you do not forget that
it is but fiattery; think lowly of your
self and highly Of him, or at least make
him believe so.
Bear in mind continually that you are
weak and dependent, and even if You
are beautiful that it adds to your weak
ness and dependence.
IF you displease him, be the first to
Conciliate and to mend; there is no de-
graduation in seeking peace or in showing
that you love your husband better than
your triumph.
When you rise in the morning resolve
to be cheerful for the day; let your
smiles dispel his frowns.
"Endeaor to save rather than to spend
your husbands money; if his fortune be
large strive to preserve it; If SMALL to
increase it.
'-lt5e not importunate or ootrusive in
your fondness, and choose proper occa-
sions for your caresses, lest they prove
wearisome.
Your sex is most exposed to suffering,
because it is always in dependence; be
neither angry nor ashamed OF this de-
pendence on a husband, nor of any OF
those which are in the proper order OF
Providence.
FINALLY, recollect always that God has
made you subject to him, and that he
is your natural guardian and protector;
that you owe your husband not less honor
than love and not less love than obedi-
encs.''
In harmony with these Rules to Be
Observed by Wives are the terms OF
disapprobation in which a New York
magazine of a few years later comments
upon Il scheme afoot in Boston for the
establishment Of a Ladies Reading
Room"
1T is contemplated to establish a
ladies' readinS-roonl in Boston. We shall
not wish our brethren OF Athens joy or
the success of the scheme. 1t has to us
a most unfemlnine and untoward aspect.
What! remove our wives, mothers and
sisters, even in the hours they devote
to intellectual recreation, from their prop
er sphere and circle at home? What be-
comes, then, of the domestic duties and
the endearing ties which bind our rough
er sex to the 1ire-side, lighted up more by
the animated smiles of the beings which
welcome us there than even the intense
names OF the most brilliant Lehign? Away
with the thought! 1t is enough to dye

When in the dim. gray East shall rise
The morning of thy birth
When thy first dawn steps from The

Upon the hills Of earth
Shall waiting nations breathless stand
Oppressed with haunting fears,

Or shall a, glad world welcome thee
With laughter and song

Whose reign shall be so long?
Who knows,-we only know that thou
Shalt enter like a king
Into thy courts.-that we must bow,
Whatever thou dost bring.
