FOR WIVES TO REMEMBER.

A Few Maxims Which the Women Should Not Forget. That Adam was made first. That he “pays the freight.” That “bitted are the meek.” That nine men in ten detest gossip. That all angels are not of your sex. That confidence begets confidence. That the least said is the soonest mended. • That with all his faults you love him still. That you should have no secrets from him. That husbands have troubles of their own. That he’s “all right ’ when you know him. That woman's best weapon Is her weakness. That home Is more than half what you make it. That he is just as anxious to get rich as you are. That wives are unusually favored in this country. That his typewriter cannot help It If she is pretty. That six pairs of slippers are enough for any man. That a man likes neatness In your attire at all times. That he is not In love with every woman he glances at. That candy in excess is worse than rum In moderation. That he likes to hear that the baby is his dead image. That you should not run up bills without his knowledge. That there are letter drop-boxes on the nearest corners. That he does not get sleepy the same moment that you do. That she who puts on the gloves should know how to spar. That it is policy to let him believe he is “lord and master.” That you can’t keep books, asd there is no use your trying. That your relationship is closer to him than to your mother. That a prompt and pointed answer does not turn away wrath. That you should not expect him to light the fire in the morning. That he expects you to look your best when you go out with him. That house-hunting is not reckoned by the average man as a pastime. That 8 p. m. is 60 minutes past 7 o’clock, not 15 minutes to 9.—Boston Globe.
