Trysting renewed

Tender words and unselfish care in what promotes the welfare and happiness of your wife will prove more salutary in prolonging her health and smiles than stolid indifference or jealousy. Husbands, hear this and remember how slight a word or deed may renew the old trysting-times.

After marriage, it is too late to grumble over incompati- bility of disposition. A mutual understanding should exist before this union and continue ever after, for decep- tion is fatal to happiness.
