Happy Married Folks.

Married people would be happier if they tried to b, a as * agreeable as in courtship days; if each would try and be a real support and comfort to the other; if household expenses were always proportioned to receipts; if each remembered the other was practically a human being, not an angel; if women were as kind to their husbands as they are to their lovers; if men were as tboughtful for their wives as they were for them when sweethearts; if both parties remembered that they were married for worse as well as for better; if there were fewer silk and velvet street costumes and more plain, tidy house dresses and street ones, too, for that matter; if there were fewer “please, darlings,” in public and more common manners in private; if wives and husbands would take their pleasure as they go al6ng, and not degenerate iifto mere toiling machines.
