In London they are going to hold a
simple life exhibition" in which the
simple life is to be treated in its re-
lation to the married life. Demonstr1-
tons are to be given showing the
right and wrong methods of treating
g husband and wife.
There will be a model room in which
there will be a wife awaiting her
husbands return, and man Will
show how other men should act upon
their return to their own fresides.

of the manner in which a wife should
receive her husband when he comes
home of an evening.
This exhibition of home manners
ought to do good, even if it doesn't
It's a pity that a lot of husbands and
wives can't get a living picture of the
sort of welcome that they hand out to
their unfortunat spouses. If they
did, they wouldn't wonder that divorce
is so common. They would be amaz-
ed that one other husband or wife
wasn't on his or her way to Reno.
One of the reasons why so many
men come home smelling of the cloves
and the rye of an evening is because

go home at all, and face what they've
got to contend with as soon as their
front doors shut behind them.
The chief reason why there are so
many haggard looking, nervous, hypo-
chondrical women as because there are
such a large number of wives whose
hearts go into their shoes at the click
OF their husbands key in the lock Of

Perhaps one woman in a million
ever takes any thought about how she
shall meet her husband, yet upon this
apparently trivial matter hangs the
question of whether married life is
success or a failure to him. Think of
a man coming home of an evening,

EVENING HOMECOMING SHOULD BE
A JOY TO HUSBANDS AND WIVES

save some messy stuff from The deli
catessen store that the wife will bring
in when she comes home.
Suppose when a man comes home
he looks for little faces against the
window pane, watching for papa. Sup
pose as he puts the key in the door
there is a scurry of little feet to meet
him, and smothering arms about his
neck. Suppose his first glance of home
is of a CHEEKY bright, orderly room,
and of sweet faced woman with eyes

Don't you think that makes a differ

comes home of an EVENING"? Don
you think that one man feels that NJ

family nor how much he sacrifices for
them that it is worth while, and that
he gets value return for his service,
while the other man asks himself-and
nobody can blame him-"Oh, what's
the use?"
Suppose a man comes home nerve
racked of an evening. All day long he
has been on the rack of terrible anx-
iety, all day he has had to fight for
his very existence, all day he had to
hold himself with an iron hand %
keep from offending those whom it
would be suicide in his business Or
profession to offend. He is at the
place where he feels the weight Of
another feather would break ris back,
yet the minute he opens the door of
his home his wife deluges him with
every petty veXation that has happan-
ed to her during the day.
Before he can catch his breath she
has begun on how bad the children
have been, how the maid broke his
pet pipe, how the cook is going 10
leave, how the big butcher bill is,
how strange it is that he can't make
money to buy an automobile, as Tom
Jones has done.
Suppose an exhausted man come
home of an evening to a wife whose
fise eyes take in just how weary he
is and who drags him across the
threshold into an atmosphere of per
feet peace and calm, of soothing love
and flattery, and who tells him only
bright and joyous things that will d.
vert his weary mind and make him
forget his cares of the day.
