DON’T OPEN HUBBY’S LETTERS
It la a Breach of Politeness tor th#
Wlfa to Braak tha
Baal.
A wife la In doubt whether aha
ahould oi «-n h«*r huaband'a letters. and
Inpllri bei »illitnttiess to let him
open and read beta before they rome
into her banda. There la no violation
of {'ontldi-uce Involved In a preference
to read one's correspondence before It
la so much as glanced over by tha
eyes of another. A letter la a bit of
lieraonal property, and It la a breach
of ordinary politeness to break Ita
aeal. Wife and husband alike hava
the privilege of opening their Individ-
ual correspondence, and of sharing
It together If they choose. As no one
who la entirely polite opens a closed
door without the formality of a knock,
though the door belong lo a member
of the family, and la the entrance to
an individual room, ao no really polite
|ieraon opens without leave the corre-
spondence of another. It ahould b#
taken for granted that married peo-
ple are mutually Interested In one an-
other's letters, but It la not to be Im-
agined that they shall necessarily al-
ways read every written scrap that
comes Into the house for one or lha
other. Married happiness is to per-
vious a thing that It should be guard-
ed with (he greatest care, and if eith-
er partner In the home discerns on
the horizon the smallest hint of a
cloud, the duty Is at once to taka
measures to prevent a storm—The
Christian Herald.

with Spain, this act of war against
