Show Don't marry a man of bad habits with the idea of reforming him. He is already formed beyond your power to change long before he gets ready to marry. Maybe you think he will do anything for you because he loves you, but he won't. If he won't give up tobacco or strong drink or questionable associates for the sake of his own selfrespect, he will not do it for the love of any woman. wo-man. Trust no spasmodic pretense ; not one in a thousand ever gives up permanent practices when he has once become addicted to them, and you can't afford to trust your happiness to so small a fraction of probability as that. A man of bad habits is like a gnarled and crooked tree; you may bend a twig and lop' off a tiny branch here and there, but it is not in the nature of thh s P for you to make him straight and I shapely 'now. He can't help it and I you can't help it; but don't trust ly your happiness to him. House- 1 keeper. M |
