Tried To Teach
Her To Cook.
Things went pretty weu'
though, for a while tried TO
teach her to cook. for know how;
And then her mother came TO i've
with US, and my wife began 70

s.hs dislikes the children, and
wishes she had never had any.

Hates To Break-up
BIS Home.
g. Nov. I could break up the home,
send her to live with her mother.
sSn6 forget her; but I hate to do
.this- There are the children to live
Sor. and home is above all to me.
Perhaps you can tell me how l
ought to act to bring her to her
sscntes, so that everything will not
be tosty'
>, Dear Sir: The Art of bringing ,
tooh- to his or her senses is be-
yond me. Ny opinion is that IL
can not be done When q woman
has no love for her home, her hus-
band and her children-only an
fnsensate. Unsuitable desire for
clothes, znuscments and admiration
There Is no way toNreach her. The
CLOTHES mania" is more raging and
aosoroing than the craving for
drink.

- In a case OF this kind your chill
Sdren should be your nrst consid-
ssration. Their future is Of more
importance than the task OF re-
forming wife who has no inten-
.tion OF being reformed. You are
fable and willing to see that they
have a good start In life, and one
sef the chief requisites in their up
bringing must be health.
