A Boston woman, IN the Globe of that
city, says: I am milliner, and [ have
made between 81, 800 and So, 500 year
Id my business for some time past. I
married four years ago. My husband is
kind and good looking, but he never
learned any trade, had no profession, and
could not average $500 a year. I loved
him, however, but [ saw that it would
not do to depend upon him, SO kept on
with my business. After time I think
he got little lazy, and as we were both
away durir 6 the day, we could not keep
house, and got sick of boarding. Finally
I proposed that he should keep house,
and | would run the business and find
the money. We have now lived very
happily in this way for two years. Ny
husband gets up and builds the fire, gets
breakfast, and I leave at 7:45 for my
place of business. He does the washing
and ironing, the cleaning, and do not
know of any woman who can beat him.
He is as neat as wax, and can cook equal
to any one in town. [ may be an isolated
case, but think the time has now come
when women who have husbands to sup
port should make them do the work;
otherwise they are lUxuries we must do
