spiritual. 1dealists may say otherwise,
but idealistic husbands rarely exist.
Do not forget that the last refuge for
wife is the ability TO inspire fear. This
may cause unhappiness. but fear will hold
| man when other means fail.
Never neglect the material advantages of
silence. A silent wife during a conjugal
quarrel will surprise the most sophsti-
Gated OF men.
Never admit to your husband that your
best friend dresses more slnartly than YOU
nor inform him that she doesn't. \ wife
will always suffer by these indiscreet
comparisons. When in doubt, dodge the
| issue.
Do not fan into the habit of exacting
great deal, but once YOU have establish
ed certain demands. stick TO them relent-
lessly.
| Do not forget that many wives have
found it expedient and safe to cultivate
friendship with the husbands, but these
| tactics have been found to be successful
only between very sensible men and
women.
Do not take even the most violent quar-
| rels too seriously. Ones husband is apt
worth striving for in either the artistic
| or connubial life.
Avoid as much possible any under
/ hand tricks. because even if your huSba nd
| might be guiity OF the same thing. he
would have an Irresistible chance to score
against You.
| Never allow your husband TO know ex-
! actly the degree of your affection. rather
| let him think you care more or less than
| you really do
