Remember. Wives.

Never disturb a man when he
is reading his paper.
Never ask a fat man for any,
thing while he is pulling on his
boots.
Never speak to man until he
has had something to eat.
When you want anything. wait
until your husband has had his
breakfast, and then help him
tenderly into his coat, and while
behind him smoothing his collar
the right way. ask for it.
When he looks injured and
plaintive, examine his plate:
there is sure to be a vacancy.
If he comes to breakfast on
the eve of sobs, ask not the rea-
son, for he will answer that he
had but one towel.
If he lies on the sofa after din
ner and shakes the house with
his shores, accuse him not of
sleeping. for heis merely think
ing with his eyes shut"
If he loses his handkerchiefs
everywhere but at home, let him
have his own way about it that
the washerwoman is dishonest
without her knowing it.
If you want him to do anything.
never tell him it is good for him.
for he will not be tied to
woman,s apron strings, "-Wom-
