The right kind of a wife eve harps
upon her husbands misdeeds. still less
does she remind him of his misfor-
tunes. No woman should marry a
man unless her love for him be of the
fiber which hopeth all things, believeth
all things, and is not easily provoked"
says Home Chat. The right kind of
wife helps a man when he falls an en-
courages him to try again, instead of
railing at him for the stumble after he
has risen to his feet.
