There's always a way TO work the part
ncr of your bosom, but the trouble with
most married couples is that they never
take the torublc to find out the combina-
ton. They are as stupid rs people would

clothes, and risked their necks trying 10
climb over stone wall, when not two feet
away was door way through which they
might pass with case and comfort, If only
they had wit enough to turn the knob the
right way.
OF course there are few men of such
sullen and morose disposition. or such
tlghtwads that nothing but their own
brutal and selfish desires appeal TO them.
They appear to get married only to have
some helpless creature in their power. on
whom they can practice their cruel humors
and nothing that any woman cen do or
say would alter them
Such men are however, extremely rare,
and any woman can get along with the
average man. and get her way with him,
II only she has sense enough to find out
how To rub his fur the right way, so that

To do this she must study he. man. and

There is the traditional belief IN the
feminine sex that the easiest way to run q
man is by hydraulic power. and so they
turn on the water works whenever they
want thing. Probably this is good, as n
general measure. There is something III

age man backbone into a pulp, and
makes him give in 10 the CRY baby to
stop her bowling
But tears do not avail with every man.
There are men who feel like inviting
every lachromoSe lady to come and sob

men 70 whom woman 5 tears are ike

and grab their hats, and bang the front
door behind them the minute they see n
womans upper lip begin 70 tremble
and her nose commences TO get red.
Therefore, the wise woman makes care

and she pins her faith to the ,ear jug. or

accordingly. If the first time q bride weeps
her husband pats her on tho shoulder and
SAYS. There there. # course YOU can have
IT, she does we'll 10 cultivate her tear

her not to he fool. she ) fool il she does

She rlust 90 to il first and develop ways

that makes him stand in awe and wonder.
Women can do this because when 1t comes
to an argument, no man can out-talk one
Of the female persuasion. He lacks the
swiftness and staying powers to do It.
Nerves and weak hearts are weapons
with which thousands Of women keep their
husbands in an abiect state Of slavery TO
them. but TO make use Of physical in

and tenderness to get your own way is not
playing the game Its hitting below the
