HOW TO MANAGE A MAN.
Nothing on earth fetches a man like a good dinner and a well-dressed wife presiding. Nine men out of ten are manageable if you go the right way about it, and one great point is to act after marriage just as you did before. Argument and contradiction are vital enemies to married peace. Should you wish for anything particularly, don't insist upon it after refusal. Some women are persistent and ask : ' Why may I not ? Why don't you do as I ask you ?' and irritate the man. Rather bide your time, and make an extra good dinner of his favorite dishes, put a bow on of the color he likes, make home and yourself sweeter than ever. You'll get it sure, even if you have to wait. Also, when you want him to do any particular thing which jou know will be for his good, for heaven's sake do not say ( Do it.' Rather drop a hint that you think so-and-so would be a good thing to do. Get him interested, and then let the subject drop. I venture to say that in a short time that man will do precisely as you wished ; he will never permit yon to think that he has traded the least on your common sense.
