A Pillow for the Heart

The late Hepworth Dixon was asked, What is the quality of a woman which her husband loves longest? He said: "That she should be a pillow. Yes, that is what a man needs in his wife—something to rest his heart on. He has excitement and opposition enough in the world. He wants to feel that there is one place where he is sure of sympathy; a place that will give him ease as a pillow gives to a tired head. Do you think a man will be tempted to turn from a woman whose eyes are his flattering mirror—who heals where others wound?"
