THOUGHTS OF HOUSEWIFE

The good deed in my head availeth little unless I will put it on foot. Love covereth a multitude of sins, and Indifference In little things may cover up much love. When trying to iron out domestic wrinkles, have a care that you do not scorch out someone’s good nature. Short tempers and long faces are the rule when you would rule your household with rules. / If clubs club more nerve force out of you than brain force into you, you may some time want to club yourself for belonging to clubs. Hold up the mirror to nature, that is the nature of your husband, and you cannot Always hold down his tendency to hold off from holding you in his confidence. Domestic equilibrium generally depends on the correct balance of the whole matrimonial sketch. When the atmosphere of love is rarefied by the superheating of tempers, a cold current of reeantment may flow in to fill the vacuum, and sometimes the result Is a cyclone of indignation fatal to the affections.
