she has business enough within the walls vi hel
house. Whatever she does outside is JUST SO huon
taken from the strength and thought tnal oeione
rightly to the home and its inmates. FROM tne
beginning it has been woman's part TO care lol
what the man provided, and this instinct Is
rooted back many centuries, and is a part OF tne
human race to-day. So surely as 1t Is VlolaVeu
for anything but the greatest need the woman
and the man suffer for the violation. she grows
to despise the man who does not provide LOT
her-and he loses his self-respect.
The woman who works with all her might 70
help a man make money, makes a great mis-
take if she is seeking happiness, for the money
is bought at the cost Of the character ueVelop'
ment in tenderness and unsel6shness that the
man needs and gets when he looks Ater ns
wife as he wants to when he marries. 1t should
be some very strong cause that leads her to take
from him this right to an unselfish manhood. Inc
woman who makes a true home does more for
the man than she does by going into the labor
mart, and she cannot do both.
1t is true that the happiness of married life
depends a good deal upon the woman-more, l
think, than upon the man-because her strength
lies in Just and proper using of the powers OF
heart, and spirit. OF course, men sometimes are
trying and dense, but I have seen most unprom-
Using material made into husbands who were de-
lightful and the envy Of women who had not
known or cared how to use what was theirs to
build with. NSa~~en~ ~"Ssr@@ '""
One cannot be happy with an unbearably jeal
Gus man who suspects his wife at every turn
but the man with minor faults, such as asking
"What did you do with the SO cents I gave yot
last week." may be cured by the right handling
1t may be hard to be happy If you have blacl
eyes and hair, when your husband takes pleasure
in calling your attention to beauties with blue
eyes and golden hair, and tells you how he al
ways admired that style of beauty, but thinl
what a compliment he paid you in preferring you
in spite of his fancy for another type Of come
Illness.
Jealousy, brutality and v~ulgarity are so strik
ingly offensive that all the world admits Their
is no chance for happiness with them, but the,
wreck few lives comparatively. If marriage |
a failure it is not in any great measure becaus
of these, but because it is allowed to becom
commonplace. Those who keep a touch Of re
nance In their relations do not find welded Bills
a myth. 1t is well to preserve ones illusions,
Beside the loss of all poetry out of the mutus
life, another cause for the unhappiness in maj
riage that makes 1t seem a failure is lack c
courtesy, of the consideration that is given II
stinctively by the sweetheart who counts 1t n
bore to listen to her lovers stories, nor finds
difficult to laugh at them, though she hears thel
over and over. Copyright, by Joseph 3. Bowles.
