control and earnings of the children

relation to the household is very diff

regards children, she is equal part

her save such as affection or religion
may prompt her to yield. Before
the law, both parents, when living
with their children, are household.
ers, if either is; for they are coequal
principals and agents of each other
in the management and control of
their children. Again as regards
property, whenever the property or
any of it that the inmates of the
household ale occupying or hand
ling in household affairs, belongs to
the wife Individually, then the rela-
ton of principal and agent, mistress
and servant, arises, and she, to q
greater or less extent, assumes the
character of householder in the same
sense or way in which she would
were she unmarried aud maintaining
IN establishment of her own. It is
quite possible, under our present
law, that she may be the absolute
proprietor and manager of the home
stead, and every article of use or
comfort about the premises, so as to
be the regulator of the conduct of
all, including her husband, in rela-
ton thereto. So, also, it is quite
possible, that every servant, if any
there be, in the family, is hired by
her and subject to her dictation and
hers only.
