When a. woman marries, it does not
follow that she should toss overheard
all her friendships she has coHecteo
in her single days. There Is no foii'
equal to that of throwing away frieno-
ship, in a world where fr1enosnAp 40
so rare.
If it is a plain wife, welded TO an
attractive husband, her relatives pe-
live they are giving her good advice
in telling her that it is just as wei.
not to invite her pretty girl-frieno o.

alone. and be wise enough not TO prlns
Unnecessarily, her beauty-loVlng nus

woman-friend 1t. may sound gooo
reasoning. but there is another view
which should be taken OF It, II wiz
has a husband whom she IS aIraio "
trust in the conpanionshlp OF any
other woman, nursing the deadly lear
that his heart might slip from her, the
gard the better it will be for her. Sne
knows where the rocks aheao lie.
Friendship should never he called by
so sacred a name, unless the one Wo-
man is sure, of the right principles OF

specimen of girl-friend WEp WouIo en-

The general run Of single women
will encourage only the companion

fancy free, like themselves. 1t Is d
secret annoyance to many SINCE "o-
man, to have a friends husband, TO
whom she must show polite cordially,
persist in doing more than he should
| in entertaining her. The worst tnlns
Ia wife can do, is to permit her nus
band tn realize that she is jealous OF
J him, 1t is an assurance to him tnat
| his power of attraction is greater than
he had any knowledge OF, that he was
foolish man to pick a plain woman

lit he might have had his choice or
MANY women more beautiful and bril-
liant. To realize such a power within
himself, puts him on his mettle II
will often make a gay Lothario OF an
otherwise ordinary home-man. 80

because she does not invite attractive
women to her house, that her husband
does not come in contact with charm
ing women. He does, almost every
day of his life. He canrrot hurry along
the street for any great length with
out meeting numbers of feminine
charmers. Many too, there are who
make eyes at him, without bothering
as to whether he is married or single.
Every man has it in his own power
as to whether he will go straight, or
yield to any temptation that may offer
Itself.
| BY inviting bright, cheerful young
women to her home, a. wife soon finds
OUT her husbands character. Lively

in dressing herself as becomingly as
her friends. By inviting an attrac-
tive young woman to her home, wife
can easily checkmate her husband s
ambition to shire, by gathering to-
gether agreeable single men to help
make her visit pleasant. There are
1evry few women who are going tC

secondhand love mate. The young
woman of ordinary common sense
lrealizes that the man who easily tires
lof one love, can in turn weary of one
and yet another; that his fancy soor

and lovelier one.
The girl who wastes her wiles on &
married man will have but little com
Function in throwing him over fol
another who suits her better. If it il
a mans nature to be true, the wile
of the most fascinating coQuette coult
not lead him astray. It isn't the hes
thing in the world for a man to dis
cover that his wife has no good friend
of her own sex. 1t makes wifi,
morose to have no women friends t,
talk to. A woman is always the bette
for feminine companionship. Thei
