The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1911-08-25

Here are few rules, clipped from a
paper years ago, for the use OF the husband
who would learn how to keep his wife:
Deserve her perfect CONFIDENCE.
Never do anything which will make You
appear mean IN her eyes. IN
Let her tell you her grievances, and tel
her your worries; you may be able to help
each other, and you can surely comfort
each other,
TRY to he as thoughtful of your wlie'ss
comfort as you were when you hrst trieu
to win her heart; she needs your thought
iulness more now.
Don't forget all the little courtesies you
used TO show her and which made you
appear so well in her eyes; II there We're
anght TO endear her TO you before marriage
She should be thousand times dearer TO
you now
Hep her with the children sometimes at
night, when they are fretful and you have
no hired help Supposing yo9 do put IN
the plea that you are tired and that you
have been working all day, hasn't she
been working all day. too, and isn't she
tired?
Ouite a difference of opinion exists as to
the correct order of wedding anniversaries
The generally accepted arrangements IN
commemorating these happy events are
First year. paper; fifth year, wooden
tenth year, tin; twelfth year, leather; nj
tenth year, crystal; twentieth year, emma;
twenty.ffth year, silver; thirueth year
IVORY; forteth year. wooden; forty-hith
year. silk; iiftieth year, golden, ana seven
ty.ffth year, diamond
In sending gifts for these various occa-
sions. something in accordance with the
above rule should be selected. Among the
most appreciated gifts for the paper we'd
ding is a subscription for good magazine,
a water color or etching, crepe paper
luncheon set. or anything having paper as
its basis. There are so many pretty ana
useful articles of wood that this selection
i easy For the tin wedding kitchen ware
is appropriate. Any kitchen utensll IS IN
order, aluminium and granite beng quite as
well chosen as TIN.
Books are the best selection Tor the
leather event. Tie binding should be at
least half levant, and single leather bouhd
volumes are in good taste. Pocketbooks,
belts, travelling bags, sofa cushions ana
library table covers of leather are all sult,
able, For the crystal wedding, useful and
ornamental pieces of cut glass, bits OF 30
hemian tinted glassware, anything IN glass
for the dining room, parlor or toilet taoie
is certain to be appreciated
When IL comes 10 china and silver, the
selection is too wide to require even Sug-
gestion. Ivory weddings are rare, but
| there are some exquisite bits Of II IN the
japanese. Chinese and Oriental shops;
| Ivory handled parasols, canes and hand
carved canoes in rare settings are hahd'
some gifts.
Golden and diamond anniversaries call
| for unusual celebrations. \ couple that mas
travelled this far along LIES highway TO,
pether are worthy the congratulations OF
| friends, and should be handsomely remem'
bered By no means should the golden
wedding dav pass without some sort OF
festivity. which may be as elaborate as the
strength OF the principals Will allow.

Summer girls are discovering the value
of the smart looking Norfolk suits so much
