This getting things ou credit is a snare and a delusion, F the first a wife should form the habit of paying her bills every weak, for it is only very rich people who can afford to have their names in the books of tradesmen.
It is true that many a poor vite is not given by her husband money to do this, nor even told how much his actual inconte is. There are men who say to the women they marey," With all my worldly goods I the onlow," and after- wards their wives find it difficult to get enough respects his wife does not turn her into a mendicant: he gives her a purse of her own. Money is not essential to happiness, but happy people nasally have enough: therefore a wife should be given enough, neither less nor more.

custom required that a newly married couple, when first alone, should eat a quince together, in token, as this fruit was the symbol of good will, that their conversation should be mutually plougant.
