"The position of the J.ipaiie-p wife

Any W ife and Any HiiHlmnd
Men lire pretty pliable creatures. A
good many of Iheiii owe their down
fall lo illconsldered ma rrin ges ; but
as many more owe I heir success In
large part to their wives. Whe'i a
woman marries, she has just one duty
before her- to be a helpmate lo her
husband. She may neither be satis
fied to sit at home ami he taken tare
of, nor to go her own way and he in
terested in her societies, her clubs er
her own exclusive malt r-". She an I
her husband are one. His Interests I re
hers. If they expect to get anything
out of life, they must get It together.
Work, pleasure, pain, must be met
with a common front: then there will
be common progress. It Is right and
proper that a woman should be ambi
tious for her husband. Something Is
wrong if slie is not. So when we find
one who Is. she presents an example
worth pointing to.
It Is n wise man who chooses n w ife
meet for him; It Is a wise woman who
sets out to help her husband, and a
very foolish one who allows herself to
he a drawback, or merely a piece of
luggage to he carried along Woman'"
