Miss Mary Lea Davis: Just what present a husband should give ills wife depends al together upon circumstances It does not matter so much what the gift is. if it is tendered in the right spirit and reflect* past con duct and future course. A faded rose, given with a cheery smile and a loving kiss, would be more appropriate than a diamond ring offered as a peacemaker.
