His Fault and Her Fault.

For there are things which a wom-
an should not tell her husband 1t
goes without saying-for it has been
said so often-that one of these
things is her friends secret. The
mere accident of marriage does not
confer upon anyone a right TO part
with that which has been given to
her as a sacred charge. It ought not
to be necessary to preface or follow
such a confidence with the warning
please do not mention this. even to
your husband" Some of us like to
think that in our own cases such
warning would be superfiuous.

Should Woman Tell Her Husband Everything?

bring herself to tell him everything?
For l do not believe that, just be
cause people are married. they should
have no knowledge which they do not
impart to each other. The man is not
the keeper of the wife's soul and con-
science. If she is such weak crea-
ture that she must go to him with
every problem that comes into her
life, she is surely too weak to be a
helpmeet for him and a proper guide
and guardian of his children.

OF course, the wife thought her sis

We may pause to consider that the

! DON'T LIKE YOUR LETTER.
TEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

While working in the same
office with a young girl her kind
ness forced me to love her, and 1
asked her whether she would be
willing to have me take her out.
which she quickly accepted. This
took place about a year and a half
ago, and we have kept company
ever since. Having been at her
home but once, I begin to believe
she is not the girl for me.
LARRY.
There may be reasons that are not
to her why she doesn't
ask you to her home oftener.
After taking her time for a year
and half, your doubts that she is
the girl for you do not do you credit.
But since you have these doubts tell
her like a man and let that end It.
Perhaps your fickleness proves she
deserves a better man than you have
shown yourself to be.

wonder what the husband must think
Of the wife who tells him that which
she is not justified in imparting TO
anyone.
l know one man who, under such
conditions, reminded his wife gently,
MY dear, ! hardly think you ought
to mention that matter, even to me.
1t was not meant for my ears, but
for yours only"
Such men may be rare, but /
think that they are not as rare as
some persons fancy. OF course the
wife was wounded, but it may have
taught her how an honorable man
regards a secret.
Another of the things that a
woman should not tell her husband
is the rude or presumptuous remark
made to her by another man.
know that this assertion may call
forth some protests, but l believe
that many people will agree with it.
Remember, l am not dealing with
the young girl to whom a man is
impertinent or insulting, nor Of the
ingenue who may not know how to
take care of herself. But | am re-
ferring to the woman of the world
the woman who knows men and
women, and who is certainly quite
able to resent any discourtesy or un-
warrantable liberty of speech or
manner.
What is one to do" asked a
woman of forty, when a man tells
one vulgar stories and considers
them funny? Should not one com
plain to ones husband?'
The first vulgar story a man tells
woman may be his fault; the sec
ond one is her fault. That is a rule
that generally holds good. If
woman shows a man that she is dis
pleased with the so-called funny
story he will not tell her another.
If he does, she is quite able to ex-
press her displeasure and to avoid
him in the future. What good
would it do to complain to ones
husband? II would only make a
bad matter worse and bring about
quarrel-possibly one that might
lead to pubhCity-between the two
men.
The men that decent women meet
in decent society will only go as far
as women will permit. The woman
who respects herself receives respect
from the average man. A young
girl may be annoyed by a mans at
tentiOns and not understand how to
dismiss him-perhaps. Not so an
older woman. She, surely, has
enough sense and enough dignity to
look after herself under ordinary
conditions. Therefore, | say that il
is a sign of weakness and of a lack
of consideration on the part of the
wife if she tell her husband that a
man has not shown her the respect
due a good woman. If such a man
be frequent guest at her husbands
home there may be a reason for her
to suggest to her husband that his
guest is not quite a gentleman, but
if the offender be a casual aCquaint-
anCe, why complain Of him? One
word from her will be enough to
show the man his place.
He Wont Forget 1t.
Another of the things that a
woman should not tell her husband
are the faults Of the members of
her family She will forget them;
he viii not, but will remember them
when she wishes them to be re-
garded as bygones. Nor should she
call her husbands attention to the
neglect or unkindness Of members
of his own family. If she can let
him feel that she loves his mother
and is fond Of his sisters, so much
