If home trials were never told to neighbors. If thcy ki.cd and made up after every qumrrel. If househoid expenses werc proportioneel to receipt. It tliey tned to be as agreeable as in courtshtp If eaeh wonM try to bc ;i support Hiid comfort to the other. If eaclt remembert'd the other was a human hcini, not au anjrel. IfwDiiK-u wen as kind to their husbands .is they were to tlieir lover. If fuel snd provislong were laid In durinjf the bigh tiilc of slimmer work. If both parties remembered that they m&rtted tor worse as well as for better. If men were as thoughtful for their wives they were of tbr ir sweet-hearts. If there were fewer silk and velvet street costumes and more plain, tidy housdresses. If Uire were fewer "pleasc darlins," in public, and more cominon maniera in private. If wivcs and hnsbands would take some pteuore as they go along and not degenerate into mero toiling machined. Recreation is necessary to keep the hert in its place, and to gel aloti: without it is .-i big mistiike. If men would rememljer that a woman can't always be smiling who has to cook the diiiner, umt the door-bell half a doen timi's, and get rid of a neighborwho has dropped in, tend to a sick baby, tie np the eut linker of a two-year-old, gather up the pUythfnga of a four-year-oliT, tie up the bead Of si ycar old on skates, and get an iit;lit-year-old ready for school, to say nothiug of sw eeping, cíeaning. eto. A woman with all tlii tocontend with may clim ita privtkge to look and fee! a little tipedsonietinies, and a word of sympatliy woulil not be ex]ectin; too iiuidi from the man, who ilurïni the hoiicvinoon wouldu't let her earry as much as a sunshade.
