Some Advice to Wives.

Anticipate the discovery by your husband that you are “only a woman;”' if you were not, he would not careabout you. Once in a while let your husband have the last word; it will gratify him and be of no particular loss to you. Be reasonable; it is a great deal toask under some circumstances, but do tryreasonable women are rare—be rare. Remember that servants are made of the same material as you are; a little coarser grained, perhaps, but the same in essentials. Try and forget yourself; as to your husband, forget that you married him, and remember that he married you; he will then probably do the reverse. Let him read the newspaper at the breakfast-table; it is unsociable, but, then, it is only a trifle, after all, and he likes it. Remember that you are married to a man and not a god; be prepared for imperfections.
