AS the time rolls by. the wife, possibly through no fault Of her own. seems to take less interest in her personal appearance, while, the husband, through the wife's thoughtfulness, looks always neat and tidy. The hus- band notices the change which is creeping over the wife, but never takes the trouble to look under the surface Of affairs. preferring to chide her for ner personal neglect.
