A FEW DON'TS FOR HUSBANDS.
Don't forget that the sunshine side of a woman's nature cannot outlive coldness, indifference and neglect.
Don't growl about womanly extravagances so long as you are keeping your own personal bills in good running order.
Don't meddle with the affairs of the house. The man who must know every little detail, and counts the cost of every household move is an unmitigated nuisance.
Don't expect smiles and kisses from the being who labors from early morn till night for the comfort and happiness of a man who has not soul enough to appreciate her.
Don't forget that the patient little woman you call your wife was once your sweetheart. A caress now and then, or a tender word costs so little and means so much to the woman of your choice.
