MARRIED PEOPLE WOULD BE HAPPIER.
If home trials were never told to neighbors. If they kissed and made up after every quarrel. If the household expenses were proportioned to receipts. If they tried to be as agreeable as in courtship days. If each would try to be a support and comfort to the other. It each remembered the other was a human being, not an angel. It women were as kind to their huabanda'ss they were to their lovers. If fuel and provisions were laid in during the high tide of summer work. If both parties remembered that the married for worse as well as for better.
If men were as thoughtful for their wives as they were for their sweethearts. If there were fewer silks and velvet streetcostumes and more plain, tidy house-dresses.
