I would treat my husband with kindness but firmness under all circumstances. Feed him with well-cooked, good nourishing food, so that his nervts maj not trouble him. After supper play tho banjo and dominoes and have the children recite pietty little pieces for him that they may havo learned in school during the day. If this does not keep him homo in the even- ints lilt him on the head with a pitcher, and you will havo tho satisfaction of keening hint in tho house until af tor the funeral. Thnt is my way. Mrs. T.

Love ami cherish your home, and give your husband all tho comforts within your limit, and if ho bo no hruto or egotist ho will undoubtedly be delighted to re main at homo and enjoy tho comforts ot a good home, and tho lo-vo. respect and entire confi dence of a devoted wifo. JlrB. Hose Lillian. An Rplgrnminntlo Kolntlon. To tht Editor : Tlio UrBt effort on tho part of a wifo to keep a husband at homo is to find tho soul that ani mates tho physical as well as the emotional part of man. Find oiit tho things that pleaso him most and cnl'lvate them. You may be sure husbands do not, as a rule, remain tiom homo if they could Him tho samo enjoyment thero as elsewhere. , , , , Theie is in tho marriago relation of to-day too much of that familiarity which mrely breeds contempt, and until wiviB grasp tho full mean ing of thcho woids marriago will tutely be a failure. In short and plain language, what man wants in a lifo companion is tho fascinations of a mis tress and tho virtues of a wifo. D. C. T. Diagnose First, Then Prescribe. To tht Editor: Discovor the cause of the husband's absence. T,his will bo found to exist cither at homo or a'broad a topelling power at homo or an at tractio Iulluenco abioad. This must bo met according to the peculiar circumstances of tho particular case If this repelling now or at homo is tho losa of affection on tho wile's part, hor untidjness, bad cooking, loe of soc:cty, etpensho habits theso must bo cured. In short, ir tho fault is in the wife, theicis tho remedial power. Do tho utmost to supply tho thing lacking. .... If tho attraction is abroad, snpply at homo tho attraction that linos hubby away.
