Try to have so gained his conf.
dence that he will not wish'to hide
anything from you, and you may
live in that atmosphere of sweet
communion when each shares with
each all the pleasures and pains.
Do not let the first sign Of al
teration in Henry escape your at
tention, and never throw dust in
your own eyes about things. Have
courage always to face the truth,
and then use your common sense
to combat danger or ameliorate
the condition which you have dis
covered exists.
Above all, do not nag!
No love can stand nagging, and
il a husband actually stays on with
a nagging woman, it will be for ex.

that you are looking like his

Do not begin asking Henry ques.

seems to be keeping something
from you. then say straight out
that you feel it, and that it hurts
