My husband remains in of evenings, watching for chances to hu^ you, and I 3tay homo to watch him. Him remaining at horn* is from £1 50 to §2 in hi* pocket every ni»;ht, and I'll want some of the money shortly for a new drc-s, aud there'll b* trouhle if I don't get it. Mo^t married women will not have a pretty yirl servant about the house ; but wl.on a prntty servant gul will enable me to get pretty olothe* I'm willing 1 to tolcrato her." — Philadelphia Daily Iler.ild.
