Getting the husband proper ls cooked is the most important. If you follow the recipe below we don't think you will have any trouble about satisfying him in cooking provisions: "A great maty husbands are utterly spoiled by mismanagement. Some women go about as if their husbnnds were balloons and blew them up; others keep them constantly in hot water: others let them freeze by indifference anil care lessness. Some keep them in a stew by ir ritating words and ways: others roast them, and still others keeep them in a pickle all their lives. It cannot tie supposed that any husband will be tender ana good if managed in this way. but they are really delicious when properly treated. See that the linen in which you wrap him Is properly washed and mended, with the required number of buttons and strings tightly sewed on. tie him in the kettle with a strong silk cord called Comfort, as the one called Duty is apt to be weak, for they may fall out of the kettle and be burned and crusty on the edges, since, like crabs and oysters, you have to cook them while alive If he sputters sod fusses, don't be anxious, some husbands do this until they are called done, add a little sugar In the form of what confectioners call kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on anv ac count A little spice improves them, but it must be used with judgment. Do not stick any stiarp instrument into him to see if he is be coming tender, stir him gently, watching the while, lest he adhere to the kettle and so be i ome useless. You cannot fail to know when he is done. If this treatment is closely followed you will find him all that is desirable, but do not be careless with him and keep him in too i ool a place.” —Loots Bbix.
