Trust your friend with your money
If you choose, but not with your wife.
"An ounce of prevention" applies in
divorce cases.
In being firm, says the New York
Herald, don't forget to be courteous
and gentle. Firmness need never spell
| tyranny" even in domestic matters.
If you play the part of a "hen-hus-
sey" don't swear if it becomes a case
of "hen-peck' later. The law of cause
and result will not vary much on ac-
count of any individual.
If you marry for beauty only don't
get mad when that transitory quality
fades.
If you are not faultless do not de-
mand that in your mate.
1T takes two to make a quarrel"

that undesirable thing
There are Others" and unless you
| are quite man there will be constant
temptations to comparison of you with
the Others" and the result may be
startling to you, though long appar-
ent to outsiders.
If you marry for money be- content
with your salary, and don't expect to
have all other things thrown in
You may have to work hard to even
earn your salary.
Never mind If sometimes there are
hairs in your brush which you didn't
leave there. Did you expect, when you
married, to have all the privileges of
privacy reserved for you?
Don't be. over anxious to get even"
when your wife disappoints you in
some way Possibly you have been a
continuous disappointment to her. and
yet she has the grace not to remind
you OF it,
If you marry simply to get a cook
don't demand intellectual companion
ship, too, unless you give the dear
woman time to develop. Most people
require time even to learn TO cook
well, and there are but twenty-four
hours in most days

good dresser in your future wife.
Don't imagine for a moment that
you have a monopoly on the contents
of the knowledge box. Most married
women know at least two or three
things, although your wife may have
the grace not to continually shake that
fact in your face. How much larger
dollar does look to a man when he
hands it to his wife for necessaries
than when he spends 1t for cigars
Be as lenient in your treatment of
your wifes faults and frailties as you
expect her to be of yours, and then
shut your eyes and multiply the de-
4 gree by ten, according to your great
masculine strength.
"Of all the weapons in the whole
1 feminine arsenal the most potent Is
the baby stare! 1 wish l had one,
sighed the clever girl enviously, as she
watched the couple in the conserva-
tory. Nov, that woman out there
sits with her sweet, innocent face in
the tender shadow of an outrageous
palm, and let's loose upon that unsus-
pecting young man the appealingness
of a pair of childish blue eyes
enough to melt cobblestone!"
What does she want of him, do you
think?" asked her amused escort. adj
justing her wrap about her shoulders.
IT don't know. One of the thousand
i things that women like from men
opera invitations or diamonds, love,
sympathy or automobiles. it's all the
same-but whatever 1t Is the baby
stare gets 1t for her. A man looks
down into the dizzy, innocent depths,
and thinks he sees all that Is good
and sweet in the eternal feminine, and
gets her what she wants, whether
it's a verdict for fat alimony or only

"And, then?"
HE wakes up after while, for /
never trust a woman with a baby

lating and deceitful to- a depth too
far down in the strata of human ma
ture for any known expert to ex-
plore."
But sometimes the man sees fur

they are such fine judges of human
nature, especially woman nature, but
the best are often fooled the most

'Perhaps am" she confessed, but

! as to the best means of warning that

a certain other woman with whom she
has struck up a friendship. And all
because she is so innocent that 1t is

very words to me. And she could
give me more pointers about good
