REVIEWING OUR METHODS
Have you noticed that a good smart talk straight from the shoulder once in awhile accomplishes more reform than an every-day nagging for a month?
Do you think it is fair to make your husband feel that he is doing wrong in bringing home the chance guest unexpectedly, even if it does inconvenience you?
Do you know that the masculine mind has an abhorrence for narrow, critical, bigoted views?
Have you sufficient strength or character to let petty grievances drop into the past?
Have you ever really considered the sweetness and significance of the old saying that "the hope of a husband is the heart of his wife."
