It is a elever woman who can accept the role of wife and mother and remain her husband's best friend. Have you managed this?

Marriage begins under the banner of everyday life, which is not always one and the same thing.

Have you managed to check your- self in the change which comes to all of us after six months marriage, when we begin to see life normally again, and to live it normally?

Have you tried to strike certain little phrases out of your life, such as "I told you so," "Now, what did I tell you?" or "That's just what I said"?

The only thing in life worth put- ting off t to-morrow is a "row. Never be lempled to tell your hus- band what you think of him, or to give him as a gift that piece of your mind which could do him such a lot of good.

It won't do you any good, though you like to think that it may, That sort of thing has never yet helped anybody and, unfortunately, none of us learn thot by experience.

I have never been a supporter of the argument that nothing clours the air like a good row. Rowe have a tendency to leave littlo, phrases be- hind in people's minds, little words which stay there for ever and which start unpleasant trains of thought which would be far better if they were never begun.
