DON'TS FOR THE HUSBAND.

Don't expect perfection in your wife; the best of women, as well as men, are faulty. Don't depend upon your wife to exercise all the forbearance; it is equally the husband's duty. You wooed your wife with tender, loving words; don't withhold them from the wife. Don't tell your wife that she has "no head for business" when she questions you; a little aid may enable ker to develop so fair a talent as to prove useful in some perplexity. Don't read the daily paper to yourself, chuckling over the sharp editorials, but read it aloud; your wife will enjoy them, though in the press of daily cares she finds little time herself for the recreation. Don't consider that because you have married and given your wife the great honor of your name she must be your willing slave; the honor received is fully equal to that given. Don't transform yourself into a domestic whirlwind or tempest if household matters are not just in accordance with your views; fault-finding is a poor encouragement to do better. Don't quote "my mother, sister, or aunt" as a model for your wife; very dear those parties should be, but the wife infinitely dearer. Don't forget that you sometimes may be mistaken in memory or judgment; errors do not always lie on the wife's shoulders. Don't entertain the idea that your comfort is the first and chief consideration; you are but one of the family.
