fiat for two whole days and nights, Just
because, feeling guilty and hangdog over
that one drink he has taken, he doesn't like
to come home and face me-.
He goes to some friends house and stays
under such circumstances He feels so
sheepish after taking that one drink, know
ing how strongly l feel on that subject, that
he simply has not the nerve to come home
and confess, and he has more consideration
for me, anyhow. He is perfectly Obedient
to the Tule we have made with regard to the
matter, and never thinks OF violating the
rule. When, after being away for a couple
of days out OF shame over having yielded
to the temptation to take hat one drink,
he generally ook 20 sick and cut up and
down in the mouth and miserable when he
returns home that he has to go to bed and
rest and compose himself, and he never says
a word about the business, because he of
course feels that he has been a weakling
in taking that one drink, and he knows
there nothing for him TO say.
There's nothing really difficult about
handling q man If you only Use ordinary
common sense. IL all the married women
would adopt my simple system and make
the rigid rule that their husbands would
simply have TO stay away ron home as
long as they had so much as a symptom
of the smell Of drink on them, how much
better of they'd be.
1T Just as easy TO train n husband as il
is to train a kitten or a canary bird. II you
go about it the right way. Now, you know
how fond OF Limburger cheese | am once
in a wbile-not often, You know, my dear.
but just occasionally. and when ] want il
| simT ly must have it. Now James cannot
even tolerate the smell OF LimbTrger cheese;
It's an an ectation, Of course, liz a lot OF
these men put on, but he pretends that tie
genuine. When ] first ate Limhurger
cheese before him he snorted and beloved
around and declared that he wasn't going
to ave IL, and all hat kind Of humhug;

him that there wouldn't be any pork chops
in our fiat until he learned to tolerate the
smell OF Limburger-and he il just crazy
over pork choTs,
HE had the nerve to say that pork chops
were decent. human food, although I can't
tt for savages. But ] never say anything
TO my husband without meaning 10, and he
went hungry for pork chors for two months
that winter. and then when he began TO
told him that there'd be pork chors on TIE
table just as 500 as he announced his will
ingness to have Limburger cheese in the
flat " henever I wanted it..
He capitulated then, of course, but we
made a new arrangement. 1t was hat
whenever | ate LimbrrRer cheese he was TO
go out and stay out till the smell died down
in the house, and he said 1t took at least seven
hours for the smell OF Limburger TO work out
OF q fiat. That suited me-, all right, for
| knew how dearly James loved to stay at
home with me, and IL pleased me TO see him
willing TO make such a sacrifice. That
arrangement has worked beautifully ever
since. Whenever / rave Limburger. James
Just goes out and stays out about seven hours
no matter IL that seven hou theory keeps
him out till away into the morning. And he
has taken IL so kindly hat now he eve
brings ms Iimburger c~heese-tied up in
about a million wrappings, OF course, and
he always m home In y cab when he has
