torlMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN, BY ONE '
OF THEM.
Of course everyone who thinks they
know how to lay down a plan of living
which will be productive of wedded
happiness proclaims in favor of abso-
lute confidence existing between hus-
band and wife. He should have no
Secrets from her; she no hidden
thoughts from him.
All‘ very fine in the ,abstract and
really the great sterling principle
when properly employed; but this inter-
change of confidence, this soul com-
munion, does not: mean the outpouring
of'xevery disagreeable happening of the
danger the mariied pair will soon be-
.3111 te.tlnink that confidence can be
doled. Olimmolarge doses, and that
"instead ofthe usual “God Bless Our
Home” motto, one reading. “Silence
isfiold'en, ~.” should'be their watchword.
HOW ofimhave we all seen a tire_,d
turnout man trudge up the front
Slaps, a martyr to bundles containing
purchases requested by hiswife, his
face aglow with the thought that soon
he will be within a haven of rest, free
from the disturbing care and tuimoil
of, 5.65:8" day, and how often we have
seen that weary wayfarer submerged
with a. recitalof domestic woes before
1118 haduamhauce to deposit the bundles
in- the hall or hang his hat upOn its own
particular peg.
‘Efitle Nellie had swallowed a pin,
the butcher’s boy struck our Jimmy!
Bridget had a man‘ 'in the. kitchen all
'Maiiternoo‘n,‘ the gas meter was cer—
#1me out of order, and the laundry-
man said that he couldn’t find the
silica that she knew she sent to him
the week before.
These a1e only a few samples of the
mnwsation the neighbors overhear—
what..more the poor martyr is made to
endure-can. only be guessed at, but
when later in the gleaming a figure is
seen hieing itself toward those haunts
where men of congenial tastes and con~
Rivial habits do congregate, the ques-
tion arises "Is so much confidence de-
sirable?”
Emphatically, no. Keep the dis-
agreeable happenings to yourself if
you would have your husband look'
Iva-ward to his home-coming. DreSs
mythic.- day’s doings in entertaining
fiashion and gloss over the trials until
.an opportune time to discuss them
Msnrely.
Ayo'id the whining avalanche that so
may men learn to dread, and do all in '
301n- power, to make home all that the g
word implies. There is no use talking,
men are very differently constituted
mentally f10m women. They won’t
sandannoyances, because they do not
have to.
They can goout—they can escape to
the shelter of clubs; therefore, the
~wise woman will not irritate them to
the pitch where they, in sheer desper-
ration, flee from her presence. Nagging
lithe death knell of domestic happi—
ness, and equally so is the flowing fund
tfimnpleasant information that some
wives think it necessary to impart even
lhefore they give the wage-earner a
. itiSaofwelcome to his own roof-tree.
