England, being generally the
chief person in his own
house, the other inmates

In America it is quite diff

the chief person in the home,

FUSSES OVER TRIPLES.
Men can bore women by
all sorts of things. Making

mots over and over again, in
dulging in tiresome habits of
speech. Interfering with

There are probably num-
bers Of women who once q
day at least would like to
cry out: "Ohl how you are
boring me !" when with their
husbands.
And at last being bored
reacts upon the nerves and
makes the poor things super
sensitive to irritation, or it
flattens out all their spirit.
ACT THEORETICALLY.
If people took energetic
action against bores in the
beginning, they would be
stamped out.
The first time John begins
to bore Mary in the early
days Of their marriage, she
should use tact to let him
know that it is having a bad
and disillusioning effect upon
her, and so she would arouse
his vanity to correct him

But she is herself too sensi-
tive and is perhaps afraid Of
