A husband is only supposed to NEEDLE
in household affairs when a burglar
happens to get into the house.
Almost every one is more or less con-
ceited, generally more, but many have
the happy faculty of keeping it to
themselves.
More folks would be successful if
they devoted just half as much time to
their own affairs as they do to those
of others.
A mothers duplicity is evidenced by
her insistence on getting the back OF
the chicken and then making believe
that she relishes it above all other
parts.
