I believe that every husband and wife would like to be confidential with their wives and husbands. be- cause we all like to talk over things that we are interested in |; but that when they are not confidential 1t is because their husbands andwives make it impossible for them to be so by their fault-finding and criti- Cisms.
 Just remember this, sistSi that every husband hates the wifB who ties him to her apron strings, so undo the knot in yours.

You see, up to the time the first baby comes the husband has been the cock of the walk, the one on whom the wife expended her devotion, whom she flattered and caressed and tried to please. Then along comes King Baby and husband is a deposed mon- arch. Wife neglects him. She loses interest in him. She won't play with him any more. He is nothing but baby's father, a slave to work and make things for baby.
 Can you wonder that the man doesn't enjoy having his nose put out of joint, and that he is jealous of the little pink

y the ears.
 
 Why we all stand these inflic- tions, Heaven alone knows. Prob ably because we are just too cow ardly to defend ourselves. Possibly because we are all still victims to the ,ld superstition that we ought to be fond of our relatives. no mat ter how unloyely they are and how they treat us. So we continue to be the goats of the lazy, greedy, worthless, stingy deadbeats.
 Of course, the remedy for, this is perfectly simple, and it is in our own hands if only we have the nerve to use it. It is merely to say No" good and hard to the next request for money and to shut the door in the face of the next self invited guest. Of course, this will make enemies of the panhandlers, for there is no wrath like that of the grafter who is foiled. But along with their dislike you have won their respect, which is something you haven't now.

Answer: -
 Who makes the money lady ? Don't you think that the man who works and earns a dollar has a right to spend a few cents of it on himself, in any way he pIeases, without giving an account of. it to his wife?

Perhaps the parasitic relatives are a hangover from the patriarichal days in which the head of the family looked after all of the tribe to the remotest generation and supplied their needs. At any rate, whatever the reason, the clinging vine relative who clasps his or her tendrils around your pocketbook and cling to your doorstep is still with us, and stilr believes that the blood bond is good for a handout.
 Everybody who lives in the country knows what it is to have hordes of self-invited city relatives descend. like cloud of locusts upon them in sum. mer. Everybody who lives in the city knows what it is to have a small apart Inent packed like sardines in box with country cousins who want to see the city without money and without cost. Everybody who has steady job gets continuous stream of begging letters from relatives who are too Temperament tai to work. Everybody has an Aunt Jerusha or an Uncle Hiram who ar- rives self-invited and stays on for an endless visit, and who is so disagreeable

Answer:
 I think of all the pests in the world sponging relatives are the worst. Likewise, they are the hardest to get rid of. It is easier to free your house from the Argen- tine ant than it is from cranky Aunt Sally. and to drive away the rats than the nibbling cousins.
