To Retain Your Husbands Love.

i Many young women seem to labor under the impression that once the
 marriage ceremony is over their object l is attained; they have played thelrpart,
 so to speak the future can takecare of Itself. IL is ole thing 10 gain Il mans l love. il Is quite another To retain il: and the girl who is willing to rest con l tent with having gained ii will never make marriage much of q success. i girl generally studies her sweetheart, more or leSs. she considers if this will please him or if that will not. We'll, l if that sort of thing is so far essential 1 before marriage. it is absolutely neces- sary after the nuptial knot is tied husband must be studied, and the wife
 who does moi study her husband will never retain his love and respect. Again, why is 1t that sweetheart
 who always dressed well and neatly before marriage, adopts Siuyenly
 style immediately after settling down: 1 This often happens. and il may give the husband food for much reflection, for what does it hint at: Does it not
 suggest that having got him. she does not care; in other words. may it not
 mean that she only dressed carefully 1 In order to entrap him: Let hus- band get those ideas into his head,
 and love. on his side. may be conspic- uous by it's absence. A wife should really dress just as carefully after marriage as before. more carefully in fact. if she wants her husba nd to re main lover also. and by the wat, that is the best condition under which married life can be spent.
 Then there is another important thing-a wife must always be interest
 ed in her husband and all bis doings, and her interest must. In certain cir cumstances. be blended with sympa- thy Take his business or profession. for instance Well. of course it Is to her advantage to be interested In his business: If he starts talking about it she must listen. and if he wants ad- vice she must be ready to give il to the best Of her ability. This greatly aids man: he is strengthened by the fact that his wife takes a deep in terest in his affairs; it spurs him on: he has an incentive. Then if business worries crop up she must he sympa- thetic. and who knows but what she may be able to give him many a valu- able hint Be very sure that the wife who thus acts will retain her hus
 bands love: he finis that he could not do without her; he gets into the habit of turning 10 her as his wise counsel Tor.
 On the other hand, if wife is apa- thetic. and takes no interest whatever in her husba nd's affairs, can one won der if his love becomes trife luke
 warm? II is hardly necessary to say word about cooking and housekeep- ing. but it may be remarked that a tidy, clean. well-ordered house, cou- pied with prompt. wel-seryed meals. go a long way In holding mans love hut enough of that.
 Then there ia one other important thing. most men have hobby; indeed. the man without a hobby is hardly a desirable person to marry. Well.
 wife should always take the deepest interest In her husbands hobby. It may he argued that the particular hobby may have no interest for her, but she must make herself interested in it: she must show him that his hob by is also hers. and this goes d long
 way in keeping a husbands love and respect-Home Monthly.
