his own heart, so is he. Therefore, our mind should be like 

 a shield and weapon to use against any wrong thoughts and 

 action. Our dispositions are irregular and if we don't con- 

 trol them in a way that is best for all concerned, we should 

 be reminded of our mistakes by those interested and by 

 those who understand us. In most all cases it is better to 

 be kind and coax, rather than to use force, and men should 

 be that way to horses. 



It may be asked, in what way is it a science to contain 

 love in married life? Take, for instance, a newly married 

 couple, and here is to you, young ladies : Supposing your 

 husband enjoys a smoke after a meal, and, supposing you 

 don't like to have him smoke in the house, now is your time 

 to think and study. Instead of teling him that if he wants 

 to smoke he has got to go out in the wood-shed or some 

 near-by place, that you will not stand for any smoking in 

 the house, here is where you make a mistake, and then, in 

 the way you say it, that has something to do with it. You 

 knew his habits before you married him. If he did not 

 want to give up the enjoyment of a pipe or some other kind 

 of a smoke to please you before marriage, and that you 

 think that you can convert him after marriage into ways of 

 your own desire, you had better break your engagement, for 

 it will just cancel one more mistake. 



Now, let me advise you, if you want a per- 

 fect man, to make a long story short, don't mar- 

 ry. But if you marry you must understand all men are 

 temporarily weak at one time in life or another, and so are 

 you. And so, if you don't want a husband that smokes, 

 don't marry one. 



Now, to men I will say this : Almost any kind of a 

 woman is good enough for the average man because women 

 who are willing to brave themselves to replace the dying 

 race are heroines and are the world's only future hope. 

 Men should listen and consider a girl or woman's reasonable 

 plea that she makes with good intentions.
