that every summer girl who smiles on you is
aching to marry you. Times are changed.

ramenber that her husband will probably
neither permit her to so on working nor be
able to keep her as well as she kept herself.

of the one admirer who chances to be her
husband. Ii she takes notion that she
wants to 60 to Philadelphia to see a friend,
or sell play, or get a book published, she
wants TO be at liberty to do so without
hindrance. You see, she can probably pay
for the trip, and so feels the husband has no
right TO prevent it, or interfere.
