The ancient writings are full of good advice on bickering, and hus bands are warned not to look too in tently on the "shining limbs of the dancing girls." Sir Ernest Wallis Budge, the fa moua Egyptologist, who retired re cently from the control of the Egyp tlon and Assyrian department of the British Museum, has collected the writings of the ancient scribes— known as the Moral Papyri—which he Is publishing under the title “The Teaching of Amen-em-Apt.” The earliest known advice on mar riage Is that of a scribe named Ptah hetep, who wrote about 4,000 years B. C.: “If thou wouldst be wise or prosperous, get married,” says Ptah hetep. “Love thou thy wife In the house wholly and rightly. Kill her belly and clothe her back; oil for anointing Is the medicine for her limbs. Make her heart to rejoice as lang as thou llvest.” Auo.her acrlbe, named Anl, bad a few straight things to say to hus bands: "Attempt not to direct a married : woman in her house wnen thou know | est that she is a perfect housewife. Kay not to her: ‘where is that <1. a, such-and-such a thing)? Bring it to us.'' when she has put the object In Its proper place. "Make thine eye watch her and hold thy peace, and then thou wilt bo able to appreciate her wise and good i management. The interfering man i only sets confusion In his house.” Ani also warned men against wld ! ows and the "strange woman” in the I town, and seems to have been tho ! first prohibitionist: "Undertake nothing as tiie result of having drunk beer," he remarks. "For if thou dost, words which can have a second meaning may come forth from thy mouth without thy knowing it. When thou fallest down and bleakest theybnes, there will be no | one there to put out his hand to help j thee. "They boon companion will stand up and say: ‘Away with this drunk en beast!' When people come to have speech with thee, they will find thoo lying prostate on the ground, and thou wilt be as helpless as a llttlo child.”
