READ THIS FOR A CHANGE

Perhaps some wives would like to cut out the following, and paste it in their husbands’ hats : 1. Always come borne good-tempered, leaving business cares behind. Do not vent annoyances met with at your office on your wife and family. 2. Make yourself agreeable to your wife and friends : and Jo not sit glum all the evening looking utterly bored. 3. Be lenient to your wife’s faults; and do not expect perfection until you have first become perfect yourself. 4. Be punctual at meals. Remember that a cook cannot keep dinner waiting without its being spoiled. Do not expect each servant to have two pairs of hands. 5. Do not. expect your wife to keep accounts unless you take the trouble to keep your own correctly. G. Dress as well and as neatly as your means will allow ; and he careful not to get your best trousers wet, as baggy knees are a tiling which no woman can respect. 7. Be as kind and attentive to your wife as you were before your marriage ; and remember that she has got no pipe to look to for comfort, 8. When your liver is out of order remember that food cannot he palatable. Therefore, do not grumble, and turn over on your plate what your wife lias provided for you as if it were not fit for a dog to eat. 9. If you have a wife who . dges keep her house in order, is not constantly at war with the servants, isnot extravagant, has meals regularly ard well-served, and' does her best to please, let her see that you ap(ic..iate her ; otherwise she will cease to try to make your home comfortable; and in due course your troubles at home will be infinitely wor-e than any you may have at your office.
