perhaps no one term which just now

Both as substantive and as an ad.
Jective female goes back to the four

casionally employed as u synonym for

chapter OF Matthew that two women

bold and wholly reprehensible. But
she doesn't complain. she doesn't
scold, she isn't self-absorbed she
doesn't talk about money all the time

out always thinking of something for
him to do. Perhaps there is some
thing to learn from her, If one only
thought SO. Is II beneath a wife to
plan how TO keep her husbands love
in little ways as well as in big ways :?
Is IT better TO just lose It, If the wind
sets that way? Some of the dearest.

where love on either side continually
