SOME ADVICE TO WIVES.


Remember that you are married to a
man and not to god; be prepared for
imperiections.
Anticipate the discovery by your hus-
| band that you are "only woman; if
YOU were not he would not care about
you.
| the last word it will crafty him and be
no particular loss to you.
| Be reasonable; it is great deal to ask
under some circumstances, but do try;
reasonable women are rare-be rare.
Remember that servants are made Of
the same material as you are; little
coarser grained, perhaps but the same in
essentials.
Try and forget yourself; as to your
husband, forget that you married him,
and remember that he married you; he
will then probably do the reverse.
Let him read the newspaper at break
fast-table; it is unsociable but then it is
only trile after all, and he likes it,
Let him know more than you do once
in awhile; it keeps up his self-respect and
you will be none the worse for admitting
that you are not actually infallible.
Read something in the paper besides
fashion notes and society columns; have
some knowledge of what is going on in
foreign countries.
Be companion to your husband if he
! is wise man; and if he is not try to
make him become your companion
Raise his standard; do not let HIM lower
yours.
Respect your husbands s relations, espe-
| cially his mother-she is not the less his
mother because she is your motherin-
law; she loved him before you did.
Home Home! To define this simple
English word is to exhaust the resources
of metaphor. 1t is the charmed center of
| all existence. 1t is the golden axle-tree
around which all industry-all thought
all feeing-rotates. 1t is the casket of
humanity's crown.jewels. 1t is the hive
of loves sweet honeycomb for which we
hoard and hope and hunger. 1t is the
haven of retreat to which we turn our
footsteps when the labors of the day are
over 1t is our bivouac on the march.
1t is our well-spring in the desert. 1t is
the anchor which keeps our ships from
drifting out TO sea. 1t is the compass
which keeps our rudders true to heaven.
| 1t is the voice which calls to us across
the waters-growing louder and clearer
and sweeter with the deepening twilight:
"Home, Sweet Homer
A crust of bread, pitcher of water, a
thatched roof and love; there is happiness
for you, whether the day be rainy or
shiny.
Hearts are the trump cards in life, and
the ticket we must present at the door of
heaven. The heart is the bookkeeper of
our actions How do you keep il? Is it
clean and pure enough for public inspec-
ton. or is it Scared over with bad
thoughts and worse deeds? All, keep
thy heart diligently, fos out of II are the
issues of life.
Good woman try and hit the nail you
aim at and not the one on your thumb.
