Married Folks Would be Happier
If they tried to, be as agreeable as in courtship! days. If they kissed and made up at once after every quarrel, "if rach would try and be a real support and comfort to the other. If household expenses were al>vavs proportioned -to receipts. : If women were as kind to their husbands as they were to them when lovers. If each remembered the other was practically a human being, not an angel. If men were as thoughtful for th^ir wives as they were for them when sweethearts. If both parties remembered that they were married for worse as well as for better. If there were fewer silks and velvet street-costumes, and more plain, t dy bouse dresses, and street ones, too, for that matter. If there were fewer " please darlings" in public and more polite manners in private. It wives and husbands would take their pleasure as the) go along, and not degrade into mete toiling machines. Recreation is necessary to keep the heart in its place, and to try and go; along without it is a big mistake.
