A Perfect Wife

A NEW YORK preacher lays down the following set of regulations as the gage of the perfect wife:—
She will not run her husband in debt.
She will not nag.
She will use her tongue wisely.
She will not neglect her husband and children to learn scientific bridge or make society calls.
She will be neither a gadabout nor a spendthrift.
She will be at home when her husband comes from his business.
She will know that the things for which she asks can be afforded.
She will live and practise her religion, and will endeavor to convert her husband, not by theological arguments, but by Christian example.
