COURTESY between
HUSBAND AND WIFE.

What is the one thing which provides
happiness In married life? Certainly
it is unfailing courtesy between man
and wife.
Marriage is life with the veneer rub
bed off. It is the one relationship in
the world i'm which men and women
feel that they can dispense with all the
amenities of civilization and in which
they have the courage Of their rude
ness. Human beings have no idea Of
how many faults they possess nor how
they look to others until they hear the
litany of their shortcomings chanted
with relentless candor by their hus-
bands or wives.
Other people laugh at your good sto-
ry Your wife feels called upon to re-
mind you that she has heard it forty
times before and that you are a failure
as raconteur anyway. Your friends
praise your youthful vivacity. Your
husband feels free to tell you not 70
make a fool of yourself by acting like a
schoolgirl when you look fully forty
years old. 1t is on our husbands and
wives we flash out all the Ill temper
and nerves and irritability we have not
dared vent on customers and servants.
1t is our husbands and wives who tell
us the things about ourselves that we
don't want to know, that we are trying
to blind ourselves to. And yet there
are people who speculate about the
cause of domestic infelicity.
The freedom to say just what one
pleases to husband or wife has broken
up more homes than any other cause.
Courtesy Is the buffer which we inter-
pose between ourselves and the un-
pleasant facts of life. Nowhere else is
it so needed as in matrimony. Nowhere
else is it SO completely dispensed with.
which accounts for the number and
violence of the family jars we hear ON
every side.
Every man when he marries believes
himself a hero in the eyes Of his wife.
Every woman thinks her husband has
idealized her into an angel, and both OF
them get the jolt of their lives when
they are told in plain, unvarnished
English that the other party not only
regards them as human beings, but az
pretty poor specimens of humanity at
that.
The book that most needs to be writ
ten and that will come nearest to f1ll-
ing long felt want will be handy
manual of etiquette for husbands and
wives that will teach them to be as po-
lite to each other as they are to stran-
gers In all homes courtesy is the pivot
on which domestic happiness turns.

The sitting room Of our client opened
