casion delivered herself on this point as
1 follows:
“My dear, if a. man loves his wife as
much as slu- loves him he will cease
' wasting his money on cigars if she asks
him.’’
“Yes. darlim-.” respond'd the husband,
“but if a wife loves her husband as
much as s.ho ought to love a man who
loves h< r < nough to stop it if she asks
i him, she won’t ask him.”
