and enthusiasm is needed by tle ruling

the husband gets less willing to make
an effort and more ready to sit quietly
by the fire In the evening-then it is
that many a family drifts apart, BHt
the mother can have no holiday. Sh
must always be on tap. The olny diff
ference is tlan as the children grow
older, she must pretend that it is they
and not she who are managing affairs
