Neglect this and you will doubtless
bring up a man to make some poor
woman miserable, as it is impossible
for woman to admire an ungallant
and snappish man as for him to love
a coarse hammered, slovenly woman.
Be neat and tidy in your own per-

As for the daughter. let me whisper
softly, mother do not for the sake Of

II man wishes to hold the respect
and love of the woman he has married,
he must show her consideration and
sympathy. 1t requires just as much
brain force, just as much hard work.
to be good home maker as man ex-
ponds in the outside world Some
men fail to understand how dear little
acts of kindness and consideration
are to the hearts of their wives. The
good wife struggles each day to cater
to the husbands wishes and comfort
placing self in the background, and

that he appreciates all she does for
him. What she needs is spoken
words of praise real approval shown
in acts and words is an elixir to the
wife Is there not something very
beautiful and effective to be-seen=
when we meet wife and mother ris-
ing superior to her domestic troubles
and overcoming the petty trials ep-
countered in every home and endeav-
oring to make that home cheerful and
happy? And is il not likewise beau
tiful whenthe husband comes to her
assistance? There is found in these
united homes an indulgence and re-
pose that cannot be obtained else

erage woman need alike the loving
and unseIfish help OF the husband in
the work of home making.

who have learned TO limit their de-
sires, rather than with those Who'll
have unlimited means of gratifying
their desires. To possess a home and
those in it who love us to have health
and money enough To satisfy our ac-
tual wants-these are the elements |
necessary to "A cOntented
life. The man who has a field to
pillow and plant has a better chance |
for health and happiness than the
man who seeks, by golf. and other d. i
versions, to get the exercise and de-
that the Lord meant he
should obtain by labor.
