softenine influence of Hobbies.
Harding is a mild-mannered man in ap-
pearance He does not appear to be the
fire-eater that his former wives painted
him. His present wife naively suggests
that her softening influence has not been
exerted in vain. In any event tire couple
arc getting along as nicely as cooling doves,
according to the neighbors who are deeply
interested in the case.
"Oh, 1 don't think there is anything so
very wonderful about it," remarked Mrs.
Harding the other day.
II had made up my mind that I would
not get into any more domestic tieups I'M
less knew in advance where I was going
to get off. I've suffered a whole lot just
because I hadn't any understanding with
my husbands and made up my mind to
take precautions the next time. So It was
at my suggestion that we drew UP these
rules
"Mr. Harding didn't want to do It at
first. He said II was too much like playing
base ball-we would have to stop and look
UP the rules every time we wanted to do
anything. But 1 told him that II 1 was
worth having at all was worth that much
trouble and he finally consented.
But we haven't had to look up the rules
at uny tltne yet. nave Deen dDlo 10 Keep
hired GIRL and 50 1 haven't had to take
my turn building the fires. / guess we Il
be able to keep her next winter, too.
Then, too, my s15 has been right in my
hands every Saturday night and 1 am man
aging to save some Of II so that l can give
Isaiah a nice present at his birthday next
October. He don't know that, so you
mustn't say anything to him about It.
II find that 1t pays TO let your husband
know in advance how much you need to
keep things going, and a woman who will
get married without doing so is foolish.
It's a good thing to have 1t down in writ
ing, too. Some mems words don't amount
to much II they get the opportunity to
dodge It,"
And so Mrs Harding seemed to be happy.
In fact. she said that she has found life
with Mr.. Harding to be a perfect Utopia
contrasted with her previous experiences in
wedlock.
She Is a rather nice looking woman of
perhaps 10 years. Harding is about ten
years older. Their farm home is beau
tiful. with well-kept lawns and plenty OF
shade. The house is neatly painted and
modern in design.
Harding seems free with his money. He
owns several handsome horses and the
turnouts in which he drives his wife to
church twice each Sunday, according to
their contract, are strictly up to date. Both
he and Mrs. Harding are neat and evcry-
thing about their home suggests prosperity.
