Inc husband or wife as it is to be witty
avery day of your life.
Never impose your society on your
wife when you see she is not in the moon
"a enioy it and you are not in the mood
TO make it enjoyable.
Never lecture your wife except by diplo-
mstc hints in casual conversational
sort of way.
Advice is a piece of luxury thoroughly
sntoved by the one who gives it.
lecturing husband is the king OF bores.
Never noralize, never pose for a model
of virtue In fact, never make an ass OF

riages are good, but that none are lie
licious.
If yours IS good rejoice, return thanks
and remember that with ali its faults
matrimony has a great redeeming fea-
ture; it's respectable.
