WIFE MADE MEN.

The first passion of woman is love
for her children.
Is that true? ......
If it is true, her second passion is
her desire to make man of her hus-
band.
There are a lot of them. Many of
the best men in the world-greatest in
craftsmanship, science, art and busi-
ness and literature-have freely &C.
knowledged their indebtedness to
women.
A wise wife is she who completely
fills her function, being comrade and
source of inspiration. Not every wife
earnestly seeks to be a helpful COM
panion. Not every one who tries suc-
ceeds.
The wife who contributes to her
husbands uplift and helps to enlarge
his vision must not be denied high
credit for his success. The best part
of many man is the feminity which
comes from his mother or his wife.
High character, which counts for his
success, may have originated in one
or the other. His ideals may have
come from her; to her he may owe
his purposes.
