This dish is great favorite with
married men, and the master Of the
house often likes to prepare it at the
table when he has company, SO as to
exhibit his skill before his guests.
TO properly can a wife begin by Sc
lect1ng your wife. Go yourself into the
marriage market and pick out young
and tender girl and one who is of
timid and sensitive nature. If you can
find one that weeps easily and is so
gentle that a cross word can pierce
her to the heart, so much the better.
No canned wives have such a piquant
flavor as the soft ones that a cruel
look can bruise.
In getting wife to can be very
careful not to get a suffragist. Nobody
can can suffragist and especially a
man cannot can one.
Having chosen your wife, take it
home and put it up on the shelf by its
lonely, and go off about your own af-
fairs. Spend your days at your busi-
ness and your evenings amusing your
self, and don't worry about what is
happening to the wife at home This
process, if faithfully persisted in, will
soften down any little hard spots of
character that may have naturally
been in the wifes disposition. There's
nothing that reduces anything, human
or vegetable, to such state Of ac-
Quiescent mush, as neglect.
Whether it is better to skin a wife
before canning, or to can her with the
skin on, is entirely a matter of taste.
Also of the liberality of the Gamer.
Some men, who like all Of their house

ways deck their wives out in Paris
gowns and diamonds before canning
them. Other men, of a tightwad type,
hold that it is mere waste of money
to spend 1t on a wife, and they re-
move all good clothes ideas from their
wives before they can them.
This is a painful process for the
wife, and leaves it shrunken and un-
attractive in appearance, but 1t is eff
cacious, for no wives are so thorough
ly canned as those that have been
