what Miss Bedford advises:
l Don't butt in on your wife's
home work; give her elbow room to
work out her problems there.
Be economical, but not u tight

3 Show your wife that you think
a whole lot of her.
Smile when things go wrong: Il

8 Don't let up on your courtship,
even IL the honeymoon is over.
And keep several miles away
from the scolding habit. 1t will make
you crouch and your wife miser-

Z Like your relatives, but don't

A pet python is better than a

Dress and spruce up just as
you did in the old pre- marriage days.
