EAR JOHNâ€"I get the notion in my head from a few random remarks in your last two or three letters that you are put- ting iu a good deal of your spare time. and possibly some you have no right to spare, with the boys at the club. Now, John, I don’t purpose to give you a curtain lecture on the evils of clubs. As a rule, they are pretty good institutions. 0! course there are clubs and clubs, but there is no doubt in my mind that the properly conducted men’s club is one of the necessities of the present day life in the city. I be- long to three of them myself and know their value. They are not, as some peo- ple seem to believe, mere gambling dens or drinking places in disguise. In all really first class clubs gambling is strictly prohibited, and intoxicating liq- uors are no more in evidence than at any respectable hotel. All this, of course, you know very well, and I mention it simply to show you right at the start that I have no feeling against the club as an institution. But, my boy. no matter how many clubs he may belong to nor how good they are. they don’t alter the eternal fact that the best place for a married man after dark is at home. I‘m not in favor of reviving the curfew law, nor do I mean to say that a man should never leave the house at night. I drop into one of my clubs in the evening once or twice a week, and I am satis- fied that this occasional association with my fellow men does me good. But I don‘t leave home more often than that unless your mother goes with me. and when I go to the club I never stay late. Not a More Transaction. When you married Anna May you assumed an obligation somewhathroad- er and more binding than is involved in the employment of a housekeeper. A man's duty to his wife is not ended when he merely provides her with food. clothing and shelter. Judging by actions. there are a great many men in this world who would disagree with me on that point. but they are men or strained vision and warped hearts. They keep their eyes focused on their selfish ambitions 3r pleasures until their field of view is entirely filled by the reflection of their own image. It’s her.

Suppose the conditions of the sexes were reversed. as some humor- ists predict. Suppose you were tied up in the home all day with no one to talk to. except the servants or an 0c. casional visitor.

YOST. to read or to do a little fancy work and 1 getting mighty small satisfaction out! of the job. She is getting up every ten ' minutes and going to the window to I look for you. She is wondering why you don’t come and filling her brain with imaginary: happenings. If, you are long delayed, she sees you man- ; gled by a car, ‘ knccked down ' by an automo« bile or held up by footpads. If she is of a jeal- ous disposition. her thoughts take another turn, and, no matter how in- nocent the cause of your absence may be, you must reâ€" member she has nothing to do but think. Under such circumstances the brain has a queer way of calling up unwelcome and unpleasant pictures. Night after night of this will turn the most ardent love into indifference. It will dry up the heart and sour the blood of the most long suffering woman Ion earth, - and then the fool man wonders What has changed his wife and of course blames her. He thinks it all over and says to himself that he has given her everything in the world she has asked for or could want. He has been a true, kind and faithful husband, and her‘ conduct is therefore inexcusable. He : forgets that he has denied her that which she considers of far greater im- i portance than all the rest. that which she desires far more than fine cloth- 1 ingâ€"his companionship. Here’s an Example. There was Jimmy Rogers, a member of one of my clubs, as fine a fellow as ever walked the streets, every inch a man. generous to a fault, straight as a footrule, a stanch friend and one of the best story tellers Inver heard. He was devoted to his wife, but he was an inveterate clubman. He never dreamed he was neglecting her, for, like many women, she endured in si- lence. became a confirmed misanthrope and finally died of nervous prostration, the victim of her own imaginings. Aft- er a long time Jimmy fell in love again, this time with a wo- man .who said things and who knew his first wife. When he proposed, she gave him some i n f o r m a tio u about his past life that aston- ished and pain- ed him. She ac- She gave him some in- cepted him, but fomuation. upon the express condition that he spend at least half of his evenings at home. Jimmy has kept the agree- ment and more. He doesn't come to the club more than half a dozen times a month. and he goes home early. His wife is one of the hapriest women I know, and Jimmy says he never really knew how much good there was in life until he learned to live at home. Not Always One. You see. John, nature has planned it just that way. The highest state of happiness is possible only in the per- She is wondcfi-ng why you. don‘t come.

It is only when they live wholly for each other that they become truly one. as the good Lord designed it.

They are not one but very positively and distinctl) two, and frequently make as murh fuss as half a dozen. It isn’t always the man who He was getting mighty close to the jump- ing of place. is at fault, not by a dern sight. I don’t claim that all women are angels. I don’t claim that any of them are. They’re just women, thank heaven.- and they have their failings. some more, some less. But I am address- ing' this letter to you as man to man. I don’t pretend to say what :1 woman should do. What I want is to see you do what you ought to do to bring happiness to xour home. Then It! THE DURHAM CIIKUA ICLE There is no finer sight in the world than that presented by a man and wife who. living always for each other, at- tain that condition of perfect unity which is the ideal married state. They are one, in fact, and you no doubt have noticed the physical resemblance which often comes to such couples in the course of years. Mr. and Mrs. Harper, over on Benton street, are a splendid example. When I first knew Dick Har- per, forty years ago, he was a harum scarum boy who was sowing his oats with a steam drill. He was just about as wild as they make ’em and was getting mighty close to the jumping ofl place when he met Mollie Price. He married her. and she made a man of him. That was thirty-five years ago, and they are still spooning. When they were tied up he was about as far re- moved from her in facial appearance as it is possible to be, yet today an absolute stranger can at once see the likeness. if you fail it won’t be 'your fault. but Y have never known it to fail where the methods I have outlined to you have been (“OllSCieDtiOllSly and lovingly tried. 1 claim no credit for them. They have been in use for ages, and what I have said to you along this line is but the sum of the experience of many men past and present. and which. boiled down, is simply the practice of :he Golden Rule at home, where it is most needed and Where it does the most good. No Place Like Home. But, getting back to clubs for a mo- ment before I have to wind the clock, what is there in club life to compare with the comforts and pleasures of an evening at homeâ€"your dressing gown and slippers, your easy chair, a good cigar and your wife by your side to talk to, to read to or just to be there Have your friends in occasionally in an informal way. to give you the joy of her presence, or, more indolent, to listen to her chat- ter about a hundred things that may not interest you in detail, but are won- derfully entertaining in the abstract, because it is she who is telling them; to let her read to you while you people the blue smoke with the charming crea- tures of the story until the delicious monotone fades into a thin line of . sound without meaning and you wake with a start to find her arms around your neck and saying, “Kiss me, John; it‘s time to go to bed?” The club can- not give any satisfactory substitute for this. The one is an artificial institu- tion; the other is divine. Still, as I said before, I would not have you give up your club if you can afford the expense. Get out with the boys once in awhile. It won’t do you any harm, if you come home sober and financially whole. But make the club the occasional diversion. Reserve the great majority of your evenings for Anna May, who is worth more to you than all the clubs in Christendom, than all the friends you can make therein, stanch and valuable however they may he. Spend your evenings with her. Have your friends in occasionally in an informal way. Visit them in the same wayâ€"with your wife. Go to the thea- ter or other places of amusementâ€"with your wife. Go to church on Sundayâ€" with your wife. Make her the Sharer of your pleasures, the partner of your joys, and you can bet your life you can depend upon her sharing your troubles, ‘ whatever they may be. Stand by her Be very careful about drafts on the back of your neck. as your other self, and she will stand by you. The chances are ten to one she will stand by you anyway. That is W0- man's characteristic. even when her loyalty is least deserved. but that doesn't relieve you from the obligation of devoted loyalty to her. On the con- trary. it increases that obligation. Make her happiness the chief aim of your life, and you will find it recipro- cal and more, for what you give will be returned to you with a substantial profit added. And now. my boy, I have said enough. and. besides. I am tired. With love to Anna May. as well as unfailing affection for yourself, I bid you good night. Yours as ever, Coming to the Point.
