Husbands and Wives.

In Japan, according to a newspaper correspondent, a man Introduces his wife as “my good wife.” The correspondent does not inform us with regard to what the wife does to the husband gets him alone at home. Young Housewife —“What miserable little eggs again! You really must tell them, Jane, to let the hen sit on them a little longer.” “And what kind of a wife has Charley got?” “A very superior woman; educated, refined, stylish, and all that sort of thing.” “And is she at all domestic? Does she do her own housework?” “No, 1 think riot; but she has a good deal to say about the way other women do housework.” , Write your wife every day during her absence at the sea-shore or in the country.. She will need material for curl papers very often in such weather as we are having. Last week the Enterprise man saw “Women stepping briskly into dry good stores to do shopping and coining l out wilted.”. We have seen women going into dry good stores, but never find time to w ait for them to emerge. A magazine writer has been discussing the qmslion: “Will the Coming Man Read Books?” Not. if he has to nurse the baby while his wife attends a women’s rights convention. Wife—John, why didn’t you waxe me up last night during the fire on the next block?” Husband—lt didn’t amount to much. Wife—Well, the next time I wish you would let me know it. You know I can’t sleep if there is a fire anywhere near. —-ZT:,. “How much are these flower.-?” asked a handsome, well-dressed gentleman. “I want them for my wife.” ‘•Really for your wife?” la marchande, astonished, “then I’ll throw off W per cent.” , The old Blue Jaws of Connecticut forbade a man kissing his wife. Fortunately thqy said nothing about kissing Other people’s wives. An article is printed on “How to. Treat Your Wife,” One good way would be treat her as well as you did before you married her, but few married men do that. The true helpful wife is one who always returns her huband’s pencil when she borrows It, She has not been born yet. : - v '
