HOW 10 CURE WIFE's
LOVE FOR HER HUSBAND

Her recovery Is slower than that
of a man for a woman has fatal
susceptibility for the tender passion.
and 1t takes pretty heroic treatment
to cure her Of her affection for a
man on whom she has once SET her
heart.
But 1t can be done. oh, yes. II
can be done, although a great many
husbands do not think 80, and take
liberties with the belief that their
wives are the victims Of chronic iaf-
lection for them that will last as
long as women's lives do. In this
way they are mistaken, and It would
surprise many a man to know how
completely his wife has gotten over
her youthful illusion that he was q
hero Of romance, and the idol Of
her soul.
OF course, there are many ways
Of curing woman Of love for her
husband, but for prescription that
is guaranteed to be a specific that
never fails, / shall recommend the
following procedure.
(a.) As soon as. you are married
begin to be careless of your personal
appearance. Cut out the barber,
and pass up the cleaner and presser,
and economic on the laundry. You
can have no idea how personally dis
ousting and repulsive slovenly man
with a three days beard on his face
is to a refined and dainty woman
II to this you will add tobacco
and beer perfumed breath you can
effectually and permanently cure
her Of any inclination to kiss you
in a single week. II slatternly Wo-
man in dirty wrappers and curl pa
pers is unattractive to man, con-
slider what untidy man must be
to a woman who puts SO much more
stress on appearance than a man
does.
% Make your wife feel that you
regard her as a burden. Talk all the
time about how much 1t costs to
support wife, and bemoan the fact
that you can't afford the things that
men can who don't have to spend
their money on millinery bills. Refer
often to the superior wisdom OF
bachelors who have had sense enough
to keep their necks out of the halt
err.
(c.) Be niggardly to her about
money. On no account make her an
allowance. Compel her to come to
you like beggar for every cent she
gets. Always raise a row over the
housekeeping bills, and act as If
you thought that she had eaten up
every article Of food herself, and
monopolized the steam heat and cleo
trio light.
OF course, when she married you
she thought that it would be a plea
sure for you to provide for her, and
that wife was her husbands part
ner, and that If she did her share by
making him a comfortable home she
would be entitled to a half interest
In his pocketbook.
(d.) On, no account ever show
your wife any appreciation for any
thing she does, or pay her any COM
pliment about how she looks, Or
give any sign that you still feel any
affection for her. This would ex-
cite her and is likely as not to raise
the temperature of her affection, for
women are poor, silly creatures, with
out much self-control, and l have
known cases where patient, who
was almost cured of her love for her
husband, had violent relapse be-
cause he brought her home a bunch
of flowers.
(e) Cultivate the "M-m-m-m-m"
habit. You haven't any idea how
calming and cooling 1t is to the
affection with misplaced devotion to
her husband. 1t makes him Just
about as lovable and caressable as
cake of ice,
Maybe the silly little goose has
been thinking all day of lot of lit
: tie innocent gossip and plans that
she will tell you, but she won't, Meet
her first conversation advance with
grunt. She will bottle them all up
in her own soul--unless she hap
pens to meet up with some other
man who likes to listen to her bah
Bile.
IT, Unload all your temper and
irritabllity at home. Never speak
unless you say something disagree
