ton 10 any of his female relatives
wife cannot be convinced that il Is Just
family affection and not sentimental in
tcrest, while as Tor his female cmp'Oycs,
you cant tell her that the reason he
took his stenogra aphcr out TO dinner was
simply because he had kept her working
long past her dinner hour and wanted
to give her some lille treat as a re-
ward for doing extra labor. and that
nelther he nor the Stenographer enter
tanned any feeling towards each other
that Two men IN the same relationship
lHtlld not have felt.
It's Unnecessary Torture.
1t is piliiu to think Of the thousands
oi wives who tortured themselves un-
necessarily about ilirlalions their hus-
bands never indulge in, and who agonize
over the love affairs their husbands
never have, and who make OF their jeal-
ousy a monster which dcyours not only
their happiness, but that OF the unfor-
lunatc men to whom they are married.
For the jealous wife IS Just as great
an aiiliCtlon to her husband as she is
to herself
Why Men Quit Society.
Al Of rs know men who have simply
Withdrawn from society because their
wHeS' jealousy ha, driven them out ui
1t II they were deconily civil 10 an
other womdn at d party, or danced with
anothcr woman or showed any pleasure
m meeting any old woman friend the
had - endure SuCh storm OF re-.
pfoayhes, tears and suspicious when they
got home that It was not worth the
price And VIC all know man who have
quit taking their wives out because they
had to keep their eyes fastened OF the
ground or on their plates, or else the
wives accused them OF looking too hard
at some other woman and trying TO
&c. into filtration with her, and rather
than be spied upon and falsely accused
they prefer 10 remain at home.
TT never seems TO have occurred 20
L these jealous wives that their jeal-
ousy is its own undoing, and that when
they accuse their husbands OF flirting
with other women, they are putting the
idea OF filtration into the mans head.
More than that, they arc justliying the
men IN flirting, for any man with the
spirit OF mouse would certainly feel
that as he had the name he might as
we'll have tho game.
1t Reminds Husband.
Many a womans jealousy OF a prct-
tier woman has called her husbands at
tention to the other woman for the first
time. Let alone his belief in himself
as a settled married man who was done
with making eyes at pretty girls, or sus-
tanning other than plltonic relationship
with the fair sex, respect for his wife
would have kept him in the fold of do
mesticiy. But his wiic's continual sug
gestion that he was still fascinating and
a devil OF fellow among the women,
led him into phlanderlng.
The jealous wife also Ignores one OF
the basic laws OF human nature, and
that is what we all thirst after forbid
den waters, and will risk our necks
climbing out OF a ten-story wisdow ii
we are locked in room, whereas we
wouldn't walk out if the door was left
wide open There Is no way TO develop
flirtatousncss in q man 30 potent as

Can't Prevent Fiitations.
Nor is there any method OF prevent
ing fllirtasousnesS in husband so ef-
iicacious as for, his wife TO, accept il
as natural and normal for him to en-
Joy the society OF agreeable women, and
for her TO have faith enough in him
to believe that he will he gentleman,
and true and honorable husband un-
der all circumstances.
NOR does a woman ever do sillier
~ thing than when her jealousy
prompts her to watch her husbands ey-
cry move, 10 read his letters, and de-
mand analihi for every hour he is away
from her After all, We have TO take
each other on trust Somewhere the
most elaborate spy system breaks down
and the man or woman whose soul is
not straight finds opportunity to go
