Importance Of ReInu socIahIa

To simply live alone. with no pro-
vision for the qualification OF the 80
cial instincts, Is apt to prove too Sc
we're a strain upon the reserve forces
of even the happiest marriage. There
Is some excuse outside the home
wherein no thought is given to social
pleasure. while the wife is apt to grow
petty and personal. and therefore less
attractive as she shuts herself away
from intercourse with others. This
dropping out is very easy, but even
wheh prosperity comes. and large 30
cial functions are possible, 1t Is too
late to gain that most valuable pos
session, friendship, which is entirely
Independent OF financial success. To
have and to hold place In the social
life of the world is not only the right
but the duty of the young wife who
desires to have home In its truest
and best sense.
