HINTS FOR HUSBANDS AND WIVES.

Here are some excellent rules for wives and husbands. They may lessen the handicap of marriage. FOR WIVES. When your : usband growls, don't hear him. \\ hen he is angry, feed him. When he U hungry, mainey him. When he refuses you m'ney, don't go through hi'' pockets. When he gives you money, spend it—sensibly. When he goes to the club, look sad. When he stays at home, look glad. When he is a dead failure, don't believe i;. When he is a great success, say: "I told you so." When he flirts a bit, don't see or believe it. When you marry him, love him. Try these all at once, and see the result. FOR HUSBANDS. If your wife frown at you, smile at her. If she smiles at you, laugh with her. If sh« is angry, humor her. If she is gracious, thank her. If she is wise, praise her. If she is economical, commend her. If she is extravagant, explain to ber. If she sacrifices her pleasure for you, be generous with her. If she is beautiful, appreciate her. i If she coks well, compliment her. If she is lonely, stay at home with , her. t If she is tired, tend her. , If she doubts you, be frank with . her. If she grieves, be tender to her. | If she is hysterical, soothe her. ' If she is flighty, be firm with Ber. If she is good, adore her. "IF'S FOR BOTH." If home trials were never told to a ■ neighbor. If household expenses were proportioned to the husband's income. If they tried to be as agreeable as in courtship days. If each would try and be a support and a comfort to the cher. If each remembered the other was a human being, not an angel.

If women were a*s kind /to theiij husbands as they were to their lovers.

If both parties remembered they both 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 "please darlings" in public and common manners in private. If men would remember that ':{ woman cannot always be smiling who has to cook the dinner, answer the door bell half a dozen time-, get rid of a neighbor who has dropped in. tend to a sick baby, tie up the cut finger of a two year old, gather up the playthings of a four year old, tie up the head of a six year old who has fallen down stairs, and get an o'.der child off to school, to say nothing of sweeping, cleaning, dusting, etc. A woman with all this to attend to may claim it as a privilege to look and feel tired sometimes, and a word of sympathy would not be too much to expect from the man who, during the honeymoon, would not let her carry so much as a sunshade.
