But the time a girl marries 8 man, she has a good working knowledge of his disposition and how to play upon his weaknesses as upon a harp of a thousand strings. She knows if she can jolly him into doing things or bluff him into doing them. She knows whether she can appeal to him through his heart or his stomach. She knows whether he wants to be fussed over or let alone. And!}| whether she uses this knowledge or not in getting along with him depends upon ||| whether she enjoys a fight or is a peace-at-any-price woman.
