IMPOSSIBLE IN A MODEL HOME.

tttt OootDLh IL -
Circumstances alter cases. Search
ing pockets may be right or wrong,
according to the accompanying cir
cumstan9es.
If a woman's husband Is a Shy
lock, no doubt she is justified in
making a raid on his pockets. But
if the husband is liberal and the
wife is wasteful, she should Ger
tainly keep out of his pockets.
1t is deplorable whom a woman
searches her husbands pockets for
proofs of his suspected inidelity.
And it is just as deplorable If a man
deems it necessary for his pockets
to be a forbidden secret to the
woman he has sworn TO love and
honor.
In the model home this question
could never arise, for the only kind
of a search of her husbands pockets
that the model wife would make
would be an open search original
ing solely in her in~terestedness In
him. and the model husband would
not think of protesting against this
kind of a search.
There Is something wrong with
the home where this question arises.
