Which should he protect first> Which one should get the most attention? When it is a question of choosing between the wife or the mother, which should he choose? A READER. Answer—Well, if T were a man and had that ultimatum put up to R; by mah:ue or by my mother, I should choose the one who didn't ask question. For of all the eruel situations in which a man can be placed, none is 80 soul-rending as to have to choose between the two women he loves best in the world, the two women to whom he owes most. To call on him to decide between them is to rend the heart out of his bosom. And it must make him feel that they care very little for him if, for the sake of their petty quarrels, they are willing to cause him this suffering. HO"VIR. to answer your question. I think thas a wife should come first with her husband to this extent, that he spould give her the most of his time, the most of his attentions, the most of his money, because the wife is a voluntary obligation that he took upon himself. ‘This does not mean that the wife has a right to monopolize her hus- band. It does not mean that a man should neglect his mother for his wife or that he should support his wife in luxury while his mother lives in penury. Moreover, if the wife and mother cannot agree it is not the husband's duty to side with the wife. H!hnlmlwunhhmfnuuljuxflulnd to put the blame where it belongs. THY DIX.
