  3. So as to make them tender and good. A good many husbands are spoiled by misman- agement. Some w^omen go about as if their husbands were bladders and blow them up. Others keep them constantly in hot water, others let them freeze by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew by irritating waysand words; others roast them. Some keep them in a pickle all their lives. It cannot be supposed that an\^ husband will be tender and good managed in this way, but they are really delicious when properly treated. In selecting your husband, you should not be guided by the silvery appearance as in buying mackerel, nor by the golden tint as if you wanted salmon. Be sure to sel^c^ for yourself, as tastes differ. Do not go to market for him, as the best are ahvays brought to your door. It is far better to have none, unless you will patiently learn how to cook for him. A preserving kettle of the finest porcelain is best, but if you have nothing but an earthenware nappy, it will do with care. See that the linen in which you wrap him is nicely washed and mended with the required number of buttons and strings nicely sewed on. Tie him in the kettle by a strong silk cord called comfort, as the one called duty is apt to be weak. They are apt to fly out of the kettle, and be burned and crusty on the edges, since like crabs and lobsters, you have to cook them alive. Make a steady fire out of love, neatness and cheerful- ness. Keep him as near this as seems to agree with him. If he sputters and fizzes do not be anxious, some husbands do this until they are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call kisses, but no pepper or vinegar on any account. A little spice improve
