MAKE THE MEN MARKET.
A Woman Writers Bold Suggestion to
Help WearY Wives.

n
Help wearY Wives.
There are few things that exhaust q
woman more than days shopping.
The average man looks upon woman
purchasing day" as one of pleasure,
but when he accompanies her on one of
these shopping expeditions he goes
home, after his patience has been all ex-
hausted, with different belief He
learns, too, that woman can endure
vexations and ppointments with
much more equanimity than he can,
and he mentally vows never to do it
again.
The number of miles traversed is
really what tires one, and it is little
wonder that the woman who does the
shopping fer herself and her entire fan
lily, ms we'll as the marketing and the
bargaining with the butcher and bak-
er and candlestick maker" should feel
the need of rest for her tired nerves
The man of the house should always
do the marketing In the old days,
when the butler was not the stately
parsonage be is now, women were new
er troubled with the worries of house
hold purchasing, for the head of the
house did the entire buying, and
James carried the parcels and was
not ashamed to do it.
No mother who has the care of little
children should give the precious morn
ing hours to anything else but the
nursery, nor should she lot butchers
and grocers' boys call for and deliver
orders, because there is sure to be dis
satisfaction if she does. Some wealthy
families allow their chef to take Charge
of the household, and he collects large
percentage from the tradesmen, which,
of course, il added to the monthly bill
Reputable storekeepers will not do this
kind of business, however, and the chef
patronage is controlled entirely by a
few men. On the whole, it is much
more satisfactory for the man of the
house to do the marketing, He will get
the best meat, have his orders promptly
attended to and save about 20 per cent
in the transaction, as " ell as the health
of his wife Chicago Times Herald.
