Courtship In MARRIAGE.

Many men are prone to consider
that their counting days end with
marriage, but the little attentions
which the wife used TO delight in are
still dear to her. Maybe flowers and
candy are too expensive now, but a
man can bring Joy to her heart by
making her work easier.
Have her try a cake of Hewitt's
clean, white Easy Task soap. II will
do half OF the work which has been
wearing her out; she can keep her
hands soft and white. and the house
will be kept neat and clean.
