. nothing to do to retain her perfection

Husband Must Use Common Sense to
Keep Wife's Love.
The husband who has won his prize
must not imagine he can keep the re-
spect and loyalty and love Of his wife
without using self control and COM
mon sense reasonably.
Why do men and women ignore these
plain facts?
Why do they understand that every
object in life which they set forth to
seek must be continually toiIed for
ana made subject Of study and pa
tfent effort, and yet ignore all these
rules when they set forth to attain do
nestle happiness?

We all deplore the prevalency of di-
vorce in the land.
Divorce is 50 common that it is vuI-
gar.
1t is no longer tragic.
Yet there are situations which are
so distressing one is amazed at the
spiritual courage of the husband or
the wife who endures a continuance of
domestic life.
There is a man who works every
alternate night.
On the night when he does not work,
he never appears at his home until
or 3 in the morning.
And then he refuses to state where
he has been.
There is a daughter of 16; and she
Is curious to know why her father is
away from his home
There are neighbors who hear him
return; and the unhappy wife must
not only suffer with loneliness and
sorrow, but she must bear the humili-
alton of gossip and scandal
She has been. married Is years and
she has no way of taking care of
herself and her family.
StiII Loves Her Husband, Despite His
DislOyalty.
What possible pleasure or happiness
can man find in his dissipation OF
his gambling or his amours which can
compensate him for the loss of his
self respect and the knowledge that
he has spoiled the life of the woman
he chose for his life companion; the
keeper of his hCne and the mother Of
his child?
Married life can te made so beautf-
ful with the humblest surroundings
and in the midst of the hardest toll if
the two contracting parties will hold
the ideal of a perfect partnership, !
which IS to result IN complete sue
cess just as two men in business do
When anything causes a difference
of opinion, the two business ascot
ates always sit down and quietly talk |
Each has his own special duties and
obligations to make the partnership a !
success; and If one negiects or shirks /
his responsibilities the other mas a !
right to complain.
Precisely the same method should l
be used in the marriage business. This /
man under discussion promised to l
love, support and cherish the woman I
he married, and he is breaking his OBJ |
legations by neglecting her and max I
ing her unhappy by his questionable /
habits.
At the same time it is possible that
the wife has not made an attractive
home for the husband.
she may be nagging woman: she
may be a careless housekeeper
She may have allowed herself to
grow froWSy and unnecessarily old
and uninteresting, and she may think
Of nothing better to talk about when
her husband is at home than her all
nents, aches and pains
Regard Marriage As n Business To
Avoid Divorce.
The mere fact of marriage tie does
not keep a man contented and happy J
n the companionship of a woman OF /
his description.
But instead of rushing away from I
her to seek distraction elsewhere the
masculine member of the marriage |
business concern should talk with the /
y oman partner and tell her just where |
she IS falling, and ask her 10 try and !
Keep up her part of the contract
The wife should do the same when |
he male partner begins to be lax in
lis obligations Many divorces could |
De avoided If husbands and wives re-
5arded marriage as an important bust
ness affair.-Copyrigh 1912, BY !
