Wooster, Ohio, April — “When I became vexed I took a nap. It has done wonders in calming me down.”
In these words, Mrs. Louis B. Howard, 78, of this city explained the success of her married life which has just reached the sixtieth milestone.
Mr. and Mrs. Howard a few days ago enjoyed their sixtieth wedding anniversary dinner, which was prepared wholly — except for the cake — by Mrs. Howard.
Mr. Howard, 81, also helped to preserve the family harmony.
“When I felt quarrelsome, I always left the house and stayed away until I got over my spell,” he declared.
Mrs. Howard admitted that staying at home constituted no small part of her secret of a happy home.
“My husband never came home and found me gone,” she said.
“Once, when my sister died, I was away from home five weeks. But that was my longest absence.’’
