unconscious, and through it all none can
fail To see their fundamental kindness

How to Preserve a Husband.

Do you want to know how to pre-
serve a husband? First be careful in
your selection. Do not choose one
who is too young, and take only such
varieties as have been reared in a
good moral atmosphere. When once
the selection has been made let the
past remain forever settled and give
the entire thought to the future. Some
insist on keeping the husband in a
pickle, while others seem to prefer hot
water. 1t does not seem to be gener-
ally known that even poor varieties
may be made sweet, tender and good
by garnishing them with patience,
smiles and affection. They should then
be wrapped in mantle of charity and
kept warm with a. steady fire of devo-
ton. Thus treated, they will keep for
years as good as when first selected.
Sometimes they improve with age.
