Bringing Up a Wife.

Ever since the word Temperament"
came into common use, we have had
an explanation if not reason for
every vagary OF disposition, temper
and emotion that feminine flesh is
heir to (No; we win not make it
"heiress.")
One Of the most exasperating types
of temperament is described in the
"heart story of q puzzled young man
who tells his emotional tragedy as
follows:
81 can no; understand her at ALL
she is always in the heights or in the
depths. When she is on the heights
am afraid If her and when she is in
the depths am afraid of her. Could
we be happy? Or would she continue
to upset me and unfit me to make a
living for he,?"
A man in love never listens to the
voice of experience; otherwise, this
fair youth would know that his pro-
posed life companion is perhaps the
most impossible type of woman it is
possible to pick out and marry.
A woman with a temper is usually
a good housskeeper. A careless house
keeper has other qualities that help
to make up for her peculiarities. A
gossip and sadder is at least anus
ing. A woman suffering from too
much religiCn may be an excellent
mother and proyider. Even a liter
airy wife is capable of being pride
and inspiration, even If she. can't
cook and won't clean house. But
these mountlin-top and chasm-haunt-
ing women are chronic and irremedi-
