HOW TO RULE A HUSBAND

When the writer was about to marry
the wife of a well known Judge gaze
her this advice:
my dear, woman needs the wis
dom of Solomon, the patience of job,
and the meekness of dove to get a
long with the best man that ever lived.
| have my third husband, all good men
but all cranky at times. When they
are cranky, keep still; when they fret,
hold your tongue, AMI always remem-
ber that it takes two to make quarrel.
In writing the dear old lady after
some years of experience at the head
quarters of an army where | was sur
rounded by some thirty thousand mer
took occasion to say:
"The more see of men the better
like them; and as to quarrelling, yol
are quite right. should like to ado
that YOUR admirable advice might per
haps be supplemented by adding
Exercise tact, and spell it large
Tact will win nine times out of tel
where open hostility and aggressive
ness fails"
The response was;
"You are right; we are improving
with each generation. From ''Tac
VS.. Friction in the Home" by Kat
