CHOOSING A WIFE
Some of the Things That
Show Bad Qualities In
Girls Who Are Candidates
for Matrimony
THE SPIRIT OF RESTLESsNEsS


GREAT VARIETY OF DESIGN
TO TAKE OUT VARIOUS KINDS
OF STAIN.
This article-thought it might be sup
posed that it is for women-ns almost
exclusively for the men to read. 1t tells
how to judge an obedient wife. 1t gives
pointers to all whiwould like to know
how to detect woman who will prove
docile and helpful-to all who want TO
tell whether a woman will be retractable
and amiable or develop into shrew later
on
Taking for granted that obedience con-
stitutes desirability, there are certain
points to be noted at once. Under the
head of obedience comes amiabiity; and
classed with obedience and amiability are
good nature and good disposition. 1t is
impossible to find one without finding all
the rest They are in group by them
selves. M
Never marry woman who fdgets with
her hands Fidgetty hands are nervous
hands. and the woman with nervous
hands is the woman who frets.
Marry a woman whose hands lie quietly
in her lap. Marry woman who has the
art of resting Marry woman who can
lean back against her chair cushion and
think. Marry a woman who knows what
repose is-few women do. Notice her
hands first: then notice her lips. 1t she
fidgets with her hands and bites he'd lips,
you may be sure that she is not of the
nice. obedient, good-natured sort. She is
woman who does not know what It is
to enjoy life. - -
Notice a woman's hair-if you are
nieking ont wife A badttempered
woman never dresses her hair nicely A
woman who is i'll natured does not wear
her ahir becomingly. 1t is rough and
does otn look appropriate to her race
She does not understand people ana
things: least of all does she understand
herself. The bad-tempered woman never
dresses we'll She is too selfish to know
what is becoming to her; she is too rapt
mn in herself to learn anything new. She
is either oyer-dressed or under-dressed,
and there is no such thing as making her
understand it.
Never marry woman who bites her
nails; this means a nervous irritation
which argues badly for the peace OF the
household.
Never marry woman who taps her
foot ;ncessantly upon the floor; this means
a certain impatience which is maddening
in the long run.
Pnck out a generous girl. if you want
generous wife. Pick out smiling girl
if YOU want smiling wife. Pick out
lively gnl, if you want lively wife.
Pick out a good. true girl, if you want
that kind of a wife Women don't
change much afterward. And one thing
more. pick out pretty girl, if you want
b pretty wife.
Don't marry woman with poor teeth.
There is something about poor teeth
which means poor health and i'll nature.
Bad teeth mean bead digestion, and bad
digestion means lots of bad things.
The spirit of restlessness has laid hold
of the girl of today.
She feels that she must get out into
the world and do her share of histiry-
making.
Home life seems tame and uninteresting.
She feels that she is of no use in the
world unless she is earning her own
living.
This spirit is very comendable if not
carried to excess. but she must not forget
one thing. and that is that the girl who
STAYS at home and does her share OF the
home work is earning her living just as
creditably as she who goes to business
every day.
The home nest would be very lonely
spot if all the birdlings few away. Some
must stay behind to help keep the home
cheerful and cozy.
To the girl whose lot it is to stay at
home here are few words of encourage
ment.
In the first place, don't feel that you
are Of no use in the world-you are hav-
ing a chance to fulfill one Of womans
highest spheres, making happy nome
e tloro who love YOU.
