ADVICE TO WIVES.
NO MEN FRIENDS. Lady Stamp, wife of Sir Josiah Stamp, chairman of the London Midland and Scottish Railway, recently told a group of London girls how to achieve the ideal marriage. Lady Stamp stressed the importance of being married in church for it was the religious ceremony which made an admirable basis for a happy married life (says the London "Daily Mail.") "It has been suggested," she said, "that • wives should keep their men | friend's and husbands their women friends after marriage. That, I think, is a very wrong, dangerous piece of advice. "I, for one, would not he content to have my husband going off to take somebody else's wife out, and I am sure no decent husband would wish to do so. "I married when I was very young, and the first years of our married' life were spent every evening at home, while my husband studied. He matriculated after our first baby was born." Lady Stamp said that a wife should not he afraid to ask her husband if he would fetch a scuttle of coal for her. She would find that her husband' would readily do this, and would then go happily to the office, conscious of a halo round his head. Many marriages go wrong because the wife is continually running home to her mother, she said.
