GEMS THAT ADoRN THE HOME

A model wife Is the woman who
looks after his household, and makes
| her hospitality a delight to him and
not a burden: who has yet learned
that soft answer will turn away
wrath: who keeps her sweetest smiles
and most loving WOrdS for her hus-
band: who is his confidante in sor-
row or in joy, and who does not feel
the necessity of explaining her private
affairs to the neighborhood; who re-
spects the rights of husband and chill
dren, and in return has due regard
paid to her; who knows her strongest
argument is her womanliness, and so
she cultivateS it: who is sympathetic
in joy 0r in grief, and finds work for
hands to do; who is not made bitter
by trouble, but who sweetens and
strengthens under it; who tries to
cancel the faults of her husband. rath-

ladder and work upwards; one who
