MAXlMS FOR MARRIED
PEOPLE,.
MAX ORELL MAKES SUGGESTIONS BOTH
POINTED AND HUMOROUS.

Let yonr wife show and prove she
loves you, but never let her tell you.
On the contrary, tell her all day long,
if yon choose she will never tire of
hearing you telling her.
If your wife loses her temper, keep
cool as cucumber and enjoy the
scene. The effect will be marvellous
and instantaneous.
If you are of a jealous disposition
take all the precautions in the world
that your wife may not see it, for it
will make her so proud that she may
give you serious reasons for ulging
in it. If you are suspicious, be d.
plomatst and hide it from her, for if
she does not deserve your suspicion
she will naturally resent it, and if she
does, it will not only make hypocrite
of her.
Quarrel with your wife, but never
bore her. Never fidget, never fuss and
never sulk. If sue is late keeping an
appointment, don't scold, don't make
yourself unpleasant. Tell her it's
much better to have her late than not
at all. Next time 60 with her. The
cure is infallible.
If she is late comiug down, take it
for granted that she is trying to look
her best for you. Feel flattered and
show your gratitude. Remember that
the modern coming woman is the one
who says she will be ready in ten min
utes. Laugh at it, make fun of it,
but never let a woman suppose that
in your manly grandeur you can lose
your temper, even your equanimity for
such tribes.
Never appear to be idle in your
house, in the morning especially. If
you have nothing to do go to your
study, you library or any other ''grow-
lery,'' inform your wife that you have
to be very busy all the morning and
twill she be kind enough TO see that
you arc not disturbed" Then lock
the door, light a cigar and take news
paper or book and be fearfully busy
all the time. Your wife being busy
herself all the morning giving orders
and preparing the program of the day,
will be grateful to you for being out of
the way and think all the more Of you
for being SO busy.
Whenever you do your wife a favor,
make her present, etc, never remind
her Of it. Gratitude, like love, is not
to be had for the asking. What
woman admires most in man is gen.
erosity, and to remind any of a favor
Is not generous. 1t looks like asking
to be paid for service.
When you lend money to your wife
never ask for the return of loan. She
would think it shabby Of you. If she
return it (there are some extraordi-
nary women), give it back to her in
the shape of a jewel or any other thing
that may be lair representative of
the value. She will say of you: "My
husband is a gentleman" and this will
cost you nothing, as you had made
up your mind to the loss of that
loan.
When your wife puts on a new
gown, new hat or any new garment,
never fail to notice it at once. She
will appreciate an act which proves to
her that your interest in her is keenly
alive.
Never do unto your wife what, as
gentleman, you would never think of
doing to any lady ofyour acquaintance;
such as to enter her room before her,
meet her in the street without taking
off your hat, etc.
If your wife should ever appear in
your presence with curriers' on, or in
any way she would sternly refuse to
appear before stranger, do not re.
prove her, but shame her by the ir-
reproachablencss Of your appearance.
Therefore treat her as you want her
to treat you. L she is intelligent she
will take the hint at once. Never put
on slippers, a SIN oking cap, spectacles
and such remedies for love. Always
be freshly shaved and let your "negli-
gee ut home be rs carefully put on as
your best dress coat. Love feeds on
even such trifles as these in the case
of people of refined and artistic tenn
permanent.
Never interfere with the liberty and
independence of your wife, and never
allow her to interfere wi h yours. Let
her correspondence be sacred to you
as yours to her Mutual confidence
and Liberty Hall' should be the mot,
to of matrimony.-Nor O'PeN IN the
n. \. J0urnaI.
Sister-Bobby, you have been so
hard on your shoes that they look old
