ing.
would admonish all brides, there
fore, to obey their own blind instincts
and to train up their husbands in the
way they should go. Mere man thinks
he knows something and he is inclined
to act upon this fatal assumption too
often.
The bride, however, does not know
she divines, and she should hold him
sternly fast to her intuition, selecting
for him the things that he needs-or
snt-feedng him on the things
that are good for him-or are not
taking him to the places where he is
anxious to go--or isnt-and, in short,
doing for him all the things that he
likes-or doesn't like-in the firm as
surance that her own sweet incompe-
tence is by far the best guide.
