How to Manage a Husfald-A Mans
Recipe.

("2obert," in Uncle Remus' Magazine.)
First of all las with the hare) the
husband must be caught, but catch
ing is not the hardest part-keeplng
a husband content, loyal and loving
is the real task. Never let him sus-
pect that he is being managed. No
more pitiful object exists than a
subservient or hen-pecked husband.
A woman of strong will may succeed
in having her husband obey her
wishes and whims, but it will be at
the expense of his love. When a
man sacrifices his self-respect be-
cause of a woman, he also sacrifices
his love for her. Therefore, allow
your husband to believe that he is
lord and master. He will be bet
ter man and a more loving husband
if he has the assurance that one per-
son believes in him and looks up to
him.
Do not destroy a mans illusions
about you. If during the courtship
he thought you pure and sweet as a
flower-something far above him
morally-keep him in that belief.
Be careful of your speech and man.
ner-that these are married by no
coarseness. But man can't always
be on the heights. He is essentially
of the earth, earthly. And he has
masculine tastes. No matter how
dearly he loves his wife and enjoys
her society, he will after awhile
yearn for the companionship of men.
This is the time when the wise wife
gives up her selfish desire to keep
her husband all to herself and shows
that she is willing he shall go among
his fellows, and that she will not sulk
or pout when he returns. She will
take an interest in his friends and be
pleasant to them when they visit
him. Also, she will have him know
and like her women friends. A
woman cannot hold a mans affec-
tons by trying jealousy to be all in
all to him, detracting from other
women and seeking to isolate him
for herself.
At the risk of being Horribly
bored" woman should enter into
her husbands pursuits and eccupa-
tons. Never say, HE does what
he pleases; l don't bother" and
never feel that way. Indifference
must never be allowed to come be.
tween a married pair. AS a rule, it
is fatal.

The stenuous life in America is not
confined to a business or money-mak-
ing career. 1t appers in our pleas
ures. Americans do not seem to be
able to enjoy themselves, even, with
out hurrying. up. At our pleasure
resorts we see men hurrying and
hustling as though they were late
for train or right in the rush OF
business. We become so fitted, so
accustomed to the American pace
that we cannot slow down even when
we quit work. We do not seem to
know how to do anything in leisure
ly way The same high pressure
that we put into our business and
professions is evident in our play.
We get so used to stepping lively"
hurrying for an appointment or for
trains, rushing our business, that we
cannot go slow and take things easy
even when we have leisure.
Not long ago was trying to con-
vince London merchant Of the ST.
periority Of the American way of do
ing things, and was telling him how
much more progressive, enterprising,
and pushing we are. He simply
smiled and said: What of it! We
Englishmen do not envy you. We

if Americans do make more money?
They drop down with some disease,
are stricken with apoplexy, or die of
paresis right in the prime of life.
We do not call that success. That is
foolishnes. They lack that content
ment, that poise which marks Euro

The American youth hurries to

ries his meals, hurries his work, hur.
ries everything relating to his career,
hurries his life, and he cannot under

Hawthorne, in his diary, makes
record of day wherein he resolved
to speak to no human soul. He
went to the village, got his mail at
