the truth about such a fall tall from grace that she would v have h stel Ics all over the place and St 4 t that you sou lU would never heal the last of o how wicked 11 It 1 was to flirt with Ith tIe Ice demon chance So when alien hen I I got homo home about 3 g m I told her the usual story about 1 r J extra ottra work at the office and I began pinching the 1 JlOu housekeeping ping money to ply pay back my gambling debt tt f s ell ell I 1 am not a gifted and om icing liar and I m mt mv story y t hold together very sery ery well ell and I I got I t hollo hollowed Nl e eved ed and nervous nen ous under the a m of lead lend log Ing the double life lire my wife told me mo that 1 DIV 1 she knew something was was worry ing juo and that Id I'd better come clean I did thankful enough to get It off ocr of ot m my chest and she just lust laughed over oser 0 er my being sill silly enough to be afraid of ot her and set about helping me to square m myself my self Honestly that was the happiest moment of my life and andI I knelt down my her and put my head In her lap and blubbered y be bared red I was so thankful to know I was married to a woman with whom I I could be honest and sincere and frank and whom I wouldn't have to deceive Virtually all men feel teel the same way It takes a pretty low lowdown down cur to find any pleasure in taking advantage of a womans woman's trust In h him to deceive her On the contrary he loathes and despises himself for lying to her and he would a million times rather tell he her the truth If she would let him but she wont won't She simply wont won't stand for it THe THE a average man cant can't telephone his wife he is going to stay 1 downs downstown town and have hale dinner ith alth v a friend and spend the evening with some congenial masculine spirits without her raising ructions about It But she I il to perfectly satisfied if it he be makes her believe that he ha IS IB going to spend the evening toiling tolling over oser 0 er his desk so he lies to her about taking stock or striking a trill balance or a big order If It he were wele to tell his wife that his secretary was as a elY unusually Intelligent and attractive young woman oman whose hose conversation he enjo enjoyed ed or that he had bad met an old woman n and taken her to lunch and that th they ha had t had bad a wonderful time talking over oser old times or that he regarded Mrs frs A as a great beauty and Mrs Bas D B as fascinating hv Ide would throw jealous fits so ho lie discreetly keeps silent about all other women omen an and takes takes his bis pleasure in fern feminine mine society on the sly ely Iy e And you cant can't blame the tha mani He would much prefer the straight road to the crooked path Hed He'd far tar rather be above aboveboard hoard board in III dealing with his wife than underhanded But nobody wants to live In a state of perpetual strife Nobody wants to tobe tobe tobe be dragged through harrowing scenes And so when a man finds out that the price of peace at home Is a lie he he pays it C HE old domestic axiom that what aIre a wife Ire doesn't know wont won't hurt hurther hurther THe TIIE her ber Is one of the tho ho most mischievous sophistries In the tha world It fouls with Ith the slime of ot deceit a relationship which should be he one ot of pure honor It shakes a womans woman's faith in her husband because sooner or later the double dealer is always ah a s found out And It kills a mans man's love for tor his bis wife because she has forced him Into doing a contemptible thing at which his soul revolts Therefore if I I were giving a bride advice I 1 should sayto say sayto sayto to her If If you want to keep your husband a lover to the end dont don't force him to lie he to you you SAME SAMid CAME wa way about women said a woman oman It t is our husbands who make liars of ot us I I know it is the general Impression that elY e woman oman is a legitimate daughter or of o Ana Ananias mas and and that the truth

It we could afford it But we cant can't Not one man in a million is big enough to stand for the truth r the whole truth and nothing but the truth from his wife DO TV YOU suppose that a woman oman enjoys hiving h to flatter flaUer and cajole her husband Into giving hei Het the things that are lire het right Do you ou suppose the wives ot stingy men feel no humiliation in having to get money from their husbands in ways s that make them feel like sneak es Dont Don't you vou OU know that th women omen loathe having to watch snatch their step stepIn stepin stepIn In everything they do an and 1 say and having to hide lude things from their husbands to keep them from having scenes Dont you know that a woman would regard a husband with whom she could tall talk things over frankly and honestly a husband to whom she needn't lie about the price of her hat no nor deceive fe IS to how long mother was going to stay when she came on a visit as the greatest blessing that heaven could be bestow stow upon her But there Isn't such an animal A AS AS S A gill I used to be shocked at the way slay my mother worked my father and I determined that when heu I 1 married I would never tell to my
