Wives Take Notice,

Don't impose on your husband j >st because he is good enough to atsist you a little in youi housework. Don'b monopolise every hook in the closet. Graciously tender him at least one nail for his very own. Don't be inexplicit in giving direction?. When you ask him to co upstairs for anything tell him it is either on the table, or in the further corner of the left hand side "f the upper bureau drawer, or in the pocket of your brown dress in the closet. He will have no trouble in finding it — if you can tell him just where it is, especially the pocket. I Don't ask him to walk the floor with the baby half trie niyhb. A man who tramps industriously around a billiard table three nights in a week can't be expected to be on •'üby at home the other three nights. Have mercy on him, and give the man an opportunity to recuperate. Don't scold him because ho lea.yes ashes in his pipe. Don't indulge in flights of temper when your husband suggests how his mother did. If he objects to having egcjs boiled in tho tea kettle, and prefers them washed before cooking, endeavour to please him by indulging him in his fancies. In the meantime bring your sons up a** carefully as you can, and when they are married, you your self vvill doubtless bo held up as an example of virtue ; and revengo is sweot.
