exactipg. The fault OF your husbands
is that when rich, they have not
enough to d., and hang about their
homes until their wives are tired TO
death of their very presence and COM

away FROM It every day for many hours.
In the United States we have no idlo
men. Our wives, on the other hand,
have time without end to dispose Of,
and their husbands think il the most
natural thing in the world that these
vacant hours should be filled up and
spent as the wives please. In England
the roins are rare left Enlightened
