ABSENCE MAKES HEART PONDER
Advice Of Worldly Wise Woman to
Overload Wives.


IF wife would keep her husband
her lover, let him miss her now and
them" is the advice OF worldly wise
woman. men get tired of their
wives just from seeing them around
SO much. The same face at breakfast
IS times a year; the same face at
dinner year in and year out; neither
realizes what the trouble is, and the
wife. as often as not, thinks it is her
fault, and prods herself into greater
conscientiousness, greater fidelity.
Stuff and nonsense! Let her pack her
grip and go off for holiday. Give
him the jolt of finding that he must
eat his dinner alone once in a while
The use-and-wont attitude toward the
wife-the taking her for granted-1t
is this which, unguessed, unseen, lies
at the bottom of much domestic fric-
ton OF the day. In nine cases out Of
ten the woman is it's victim, but on
the other hand, it is generally her
fault to begin with. These self.
effacing, meek, ultra-conscientious
little wives, oh, how much they have
to answer for!"-New York Tribune
