The amount of advice given to women . as to the better methods of retaining their husband's hus-band's love is wearisome in tho extreme. The fact that much of this is written by those spinsters who have lovely theories rather than experience as a guide may have made much of this quito impracticable. However, I heard a chat between two clever little women the other day upon which I have been pondering ever since. - "Yes," said Mrs. A., "I am awfully fond of my husband, hus-band, and be is a splendid fellow, but do you know he has somehow acquired the habit of embellishing his little stories which he tells me in the most elaborate fashion? "Why, at first I felt dreadfully over it and wept, not oceans but little lakes of tears and fancied myself one of the most'decply injured in-jured of women. Did I chide him or reproach re-proach him, or did I tell him that I should nevermore have faith in him? Not I. I just sat down and grave my best thought to the matter and decided that if I did that it would be simply ruinous to all our happiness; happi-ness; that his pride would be gone and he so deeply humiliated as to no longer etrive for my love or admiration. Of course I am not quite an idiot, and a man or woman must needs have a phenomenal memory, to bo an artistic liar. - "Now this, fortunately for me, perhaps, my husband does not possess, so when he comejs home late with a most interesting account of the supper which he gave to one of the boys -who sails for Europe next week I take it that; he didn't want to come home, and spared my rt r feelings by this excuse.
