you will, but the best of husbands is tryin'
at times, an SO, reckon, are the best
of wives. The older get, the more it's
borne in on me that merri ge is a good
deal of discipline at best, an it's up to
-. them that's married to decide how light
-or severe that discipline shall be; but
b'leeve in merri'ge all the same, and in
merried folks tryin' to do the very best
they can by an for each other; an, ,
feelin that way, I've got along very
we'll with both my husbands. l know
this:
It's a good deal easier to wheedle
man into doin' as you want him to than
it is to buster an blow an tell him he's
got to do it. The averige man can be
coaxed when he can't be drove. That's
the way it is with Puffer. You try to
drive that man, an a mule amt in it
with him when it comes to stubbornness,
but you just keep cam, an kind O. soft
sawder him, an he'll often give in when
he's vowed up an down that he wouldn't.
There's a lot O victories gained by
holdin' your temper well in hand an
keepin' your mouth shet. I've got the
better O Puffer many time by never
sayin' a word, when l was dyin' to bust
out like cyclone; an l never nag the
man.
Now I jest hate to see man pour
his coffee or tea out into his saucer an
blow it before he drinks it. Amt it jest
turrible for a man to do that? Well, if
you'll b1eeve me, Puffer has been dom
that all our married life, an the chances
III H.. - l.. -
what some folks call this mundane sp'eer.
Some women would nag him about it
evry day of his life; an | amt said
word to him about it for years. What's
the use? He'd only git mad, an so
would l, an the coffee would be blowed
all the same; an I'll be bowed if it pays
to spat an nag an wrangle over thing
that there amt no real harm inl
Better jest grin an bear it an keep
peace in the family. Like enough Puffer
is keepin' his own mouth shet about some
things | do. | know he doesn't like to
have me pick out the holes in the salt
shaker with my hair pins but I've dropped
into the way of dom it. an Puffer don't
say anything, although reckon he keeps
up turrible thinkin' All things con-

husband, as men run. But, as | was
sayin', the best of husbands is tryin' at
times. Don't you think so?"
Perhaps So" | said weakly.
''Mebbe yours amt" she said. she
looks meachin as lamb; but them's the
very kind it's sometimes hardest to deal
with Now Puffer is one o these inner
cent-lookin' little men. He amt but
FIVE feet four, an looks as if he would
go up in the air an never be heard of
no more if you cut his suspenders,
there's SO little to him. He's like a
song | heard once at dime museum. 1t
was called: He's Little; But Oh Myl'
The idee was that these little chaps amt
to be sneezed at; an no more are they
when they git started. Still, if you
once find out their weak pint you can
manage 'em without any disgraceful
squabb1in'.
q landed Puffer that way last week.
Did you read in the paper about the
Elevator Gentlemens Ball? Well, if you
had an world road THROUGH, tho 1;c+ e

time an made things pleasant for lot
O folks. Puffer feels well enough toward
folks; but he amt the faculty O. sayin'
so, an he's like a fish out O water in
serciety. He amt a mite O small talk
in him, an I'm full of it. He's one O.
these unfort nit's who is all hands an
feet in serciety; but l fggered it out that
he could get a seat in a corner at the
ball an not try to mix with folks none,
an get through all right.
"But he come out flat-footed an said
he want goin' Said / could go with
Mr.. an Mis- Hinty who live in our block
an who was goin'; but / didn't take to
that idee A married woman nacher'lly
prefers to have her husband go with her,
to her taggin' along with some other
couple, an she ought to prefer the COM
p'ny of her husband to that of any other
man. Lord pity them that don't!
don't care if Puffer amt much to look
at, he's my husband-'a poor thing but
mine own as it says in piece | read in
book once-an' | have respect enough
for the merri'ge relation to prefer my
husbands company to that of any other
man, even though he ain t a Venus in looks.
so made UP my mind that | want
goin' to that ball with nobody hut J.
Hiram Puffer. But | didn't jaw nor nag
him a bit when he vowed an declared
he didn't allow to go, nor l didn't weep
none. This weepin' is the last straw
that breaks the came1's back with some
men. | think that many man has been
drove to drink by a weepin' wife. I've
got married daughter by my first hus-
band, an | says to her before she was
married, says |:
"'Tilly, no matter what Tom does,
don't you go to bellerin', thinkin' to win
him over in that way Men have kind
of contempt for weepin' WIFE They
think good deal more of woman who
shows a little pluck an faces 'em dry
eyed. If you must weep, do it when you
are by yourself, says l. | tell you
amt wasted much o my time weepin'
before either o my pardners; an you
Puffer said he want goin' to that ball.
You want to know how made him break
his word-sort O. defeated him, as it
were?"
Eyes, I do"
We'll, the bail was to be on Friday
night of last week, an it was Monday
when Puffer give me to understand that
wild bosses couldn't drag him to it. |
let my tongue know that l was its mas
ter, an l jest laid low, as the boys say
That night when Puffer come home to
supper he found as nice hot beef-stew
with dunplin's ready for him as you'd
git at the Waldorf-Astory, if l do say
it. If there's anything Puffer does like
it's a nice, hot, savory stew with dump
Inns, an we hadn't had one for sometime.
Then l had nice mince-pie the lady
washed for that day had give to me,
an when Puffer had got outside quarter
o that pie an big plate O that stew
he was in a real lamb-like state O. mind;
but I never said ball to him once
The next night when he come home
| had nice brown chicken-pie with
plenty of nice gravy to go with it. 1t
