with complaints because he can not
give you all of the luXuries that some
millionaire gives his wife. do you
flash out your own nerves and i'll
temper on him. and so add to his bur-
den the feather that breaks the
camels back?
Or do you hide your own worries and
anxieties in your own breast and make
your home such a place of peace ana
quiet that your husband turns 20 it as
the storm-tossed mariner steers for a
land-locked harbor. Do you lap your
husband so in love. praise and appre-
citation that it binds up, as with a
healing ointment, all of the wounds
that the world deals him, and makes
him feel that the struggle Of life Is
worth while, since II is made for you
and has your comfort as its reward?
AS a husband do you ever think
whether you are making life easier or
harder for your wife? Most men feel
that they have done their full duty
towards their wives II they provide
them with food and clothes. They
are necessary, but they are only the
beginning. A woman's soul must be
fed and clothed as well as her body,
and unless a man does something ac-
lively to make his wife happy, he is
treating her just as badly as II he
starved her physically.
Are you one of the men who gloom
and crouch at home and whose fam
lilies stand in as much terror of them
as any trembling slave ever did before
Nero? When you put your key in the
front door can you hear the children
hush their laughter. see the cat take
to the cellar. and a strained look come
on your wife's face? Do you raise
such a row over the bills every month
that your wife's hands shake as she
hands them to you? Do you say mean,
cruel, cutting things to her. insulting
things, that you would knock any MAJ
down for saying to you?
Or are you one of the husbands
whose coming home at night S like
flooding a house with light and Soy?
Are you always thinking of some little
treat for your wife, or If you have not
the money to buy things for her, DO
you tell her how you would like to

make her feel your love and tender
ness surrounds her like the very air
she breathes?
The life of the woman married to
a poor man, and who is overburdened
with work and children. is a hard and
monotonous one, and its rests entirely
with her husbands attitude towards
her whether she Is happy or miser-
able in 1t. He can make life hard or
easy for her, and there is nothing
else so tragic as the fact that a man
has 1t in his power to make his wife
happy by saying a few cheap words,

THE IDEAL WIFE.

One OF the most successful men OF
this country recently wrote: What
ever 1 am. and whatever success ]
have attained, owe it all to my wife.
She has ever been an inspiration and
the greatest helpmate of my life" To
be such a successful wife should be
the ambition of every woman, but
how impossible when dragged down
by headaches, backache, dragging
down pains. nervousness and the
blues" Every woman in this condi-
tiOn should start at once to build up
her system by a tonic Of specific pow
ers. such as Lydia z. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound, which for three
generations has been restoring Amer
lean women to health and consequent
happiness.-AdV.

, decided that she would be happiest
here.
Do you know, little book, that Of
all the old people I have known
with the exception of Aunt Mary
and Mrs. Selwin. not one old person
has ever given me any advice that
would help me along the way. None
has ever said to me, Take heart,
dear. I have known that very sor-
| row. that same pain. and II was this
way that ] overcame them"
Old peoples lives seem taken up
with such little things-material de-
tails that do not even have the spon-
! taneity OF childish moods. II has al
| ways seemed to me that the nearer
soul came to the spiritual life
the more Il clings TO the material
life of earth,
Mother Trent will never conform
to my way OF living and yet she will
always be complaining that we do
not conform to hers.
After had cried awhile on Dicks
shoulder and succeeded in spelling
his immaculate shirt bosom I let my
self be soothed by his voice.
II can see that having her here
will be too much for you, Margie, /"
he said in q wistful tone. which made
me understand that he really wished
me to contradict him.
So It was decided. Dick went out
and a little later MOthsr Trent came
in all smiles to say that It seemed
providential that she should be left
free to help her dear Margie by
taking charge OF her house while she
was Ill.
This was a little more than could
bear and i said. I'VE must have Il
understood. Mother Trent, that you
come here as a guest. I shall make
you as comfortable as I can, but
my maids and my housekeeper have
been here since Mrs. Selwin's time
and they will know exactly what
to do for the little time I am in
bed"
1 could see the disappointment in
her face and knew how happy she
would have been in muddling up my
housekeeping affairs. I am afraid she
will do II anyway.

Do you make life harder, or easier
for those about you?
You do one or the other, you know.
Which is it?
Do you ever stop to think that the
heaviest burdens that We bear are
laid upon US by the hands of those
nearest and dearest to US, and not by
our enemies?
Or that the unkindest speeches we
ever hear are inspired not by the NAL
ice of our foes. but the irritability
of our own family?
| Or that just pure, unadulterated sell
| fishness destroys a million times more
! happiness than the seven deadly sins? :?
OF course, you haven't thought about
these things as they apply to your
! self. AS long as we keep the big law
we are SNUG and self satisfied and feel
! that we have highly virtuous, admir-
able characters. Yet when we come to
stand before the judgment bar at the
last day, the thing that will probably
scar our very souls will be the real
| ization that We might have made life
easier for those about US, we might
have made them happy and comforta-
| BILE and We did not do 1t.
Are you making life easier for your
mother? Do you ever notice how tired
and worn she is? She is one of those
whose work is never done. She is al
| ways stewing over the cooking stove,
fixing up extra little dishes for those
who imagine they can't eat this, and
don't take the trouble to be on time
| for their meals.
She Is always Strengthening up
clothes and putting them away in
closets, picking up papers from the
| floor. hunting lost articles, and sew
ing on buttons, and mending rips in
garments. She Is eternally getting
out fresh towels, fixing baths, sweep
ing up cigar ashes from the floor,
Strengthening furniture, and doing
million endless jobs.
Does 1t occur to you that you are
making life harder for mother and
that she need not be an overworked
slave II you would help a little, or
even take care Of your own things?
