~ KEEPING OUT OF RENO. Wife, Know Vour Husband; 'he Rest la Easy. husband is just perfect," exJT1 claimed Mrs. Newed. "Heaven help you," put in Mrs. Oldun knowingly. "I hope for your sake he'll get over it" "Why, what do you mean? It's positively foolish to talk that way. Of course you're joking." "Joking! Not a bit of it," went on Mrs. Oldun derisively. "You see, I know what I'm talking about I've }>een through it I used to think just *8 you do, and if you are as sensible I think you are you'll never get over it just as I did." Mrs. Newed was on the verge of tears. ."I think it's sinful to make fight of the marriage relation that T 1 1 1 4. U ?Ai. Wttjr.

"Yes, often." "Very well. If he's perfect he always mails them." "Indged, he does. That's one of the things I had in mind." "You mean he always says he mails them?" "I mean if he says he mails them he does mail them. I hope at least he's truthful." "Not if he says he always mails your letters, for there was never yet a husband who always mails his wife's letters. He will lie, and all husbands will He, so that you will continue to think he's perfect I venture to say you always ask him if he mailed your letters. Now, don't you?" "Usually." "And whenever you ask him he puts on an injured air, gets a little provoked?" "A little." "That's it. He's just like all the wet That's just the way my husband did when he was perfect But then one day 1 got the goods on him, as the slang phrase goes. I found out positively that he had not mailed a certain important letter." "What if he didn't?" "Everything. It was the turning point In our lives. I took him off his high horse then and there. Oh, the satisfaction in it! You cannot lm. agine the supreme joy of reducing a husband to the level of a human being. I suppose your husband is very ?elf possessed; never loses his temper. That's a part of perfection." "Of oanma ho novor Insect hin fem "And so he just calmly lords it ower yon, serene and, insufferable in his pose of superiority, while he looks down on you, along with all other women, as emotional and hysterical." "Perhaps I hare noticed just a little of that" "You must contrive some way to make him lose his temper. The angrier he gets the better for you. Then you have got him forevermore." "You talk like a crazy woman. I don't see what good that could possibly do." ^Good! Why it's a veritable pana- ' cea. Ever after, no matter what the argument .may be, you can caution him to be careful, not to get excited and remind him what a fearful temper he has when he becomes aroused." "Well," said Mrs. Newed in disgust, "if that's your idea I wonder you haven't landed in Reno long before this." "Reno, nonsense! That's the way to keep out of Reno. Talk about incomi>atibillty!
