Married Life and Business Partnership
Rosalie Loew was the first woman to gain
admlttance to the New York bar. After her
marriage to Travis whitney, also lawyer,
the law firm Of Loew & whitney was
formed and Is now in active practice.
Writing on the subject Of married life and
business partnerships in the New York
World, Mrs. Whitney says:
All married couples in moderate circum-
stances, who are congenial and interested

partnerships.
why not? At present there are twelve
married couples I'm New York practicing
law together. They have all been reason
ably successful, and so far as I know not
one Of the partnerships has been dissolved.
In a partnership OF this character the
members Of the firm are directly interested
iu the success Of the individual This nat
Urally leads to unselashness.
When a woman has carried on a pro-
fesson before marriage it is selfish Of the
husband to ask her TO abandon a possible
brilliant future and TO settle down to home
duties. This woman has worked hard for
what she has won and IL she Is fortunate
enough to marry a man whose profess
sional interests run in the same channel
as hers. the most natural result in the
world is the forming Of a partnership.
draws the husband and wife closer to-
Gether. This is not matter Of soul ar
fnity or anything Of the kind. II is just
practical good sense.
When at home there Is a theme in which
both husband and wife are equally inter
ested, The wife Is capable OF speaking in
diligently on subjects that claim a share
Of her husbands attention, and in every
sense OF the word she is Just what she is
meant to be-a real helpmatc.
have often been asked II the woman
in business must not necessarily neglect
her home. This question is quite foolish
for no business woman Of good intelligence
need in the least neglect either her home
her children or social duties for business
A woman OF good business ability is ca
pable Of thinking in a well-ordered way;
she will select competent people to at
tend to her house, and her social duties
will become more OF the character Of those
her husband enjoys She win forget all
about the frivolous, petty circumstances
that make so many women unhappy for
her mind will be occupied with really i'm
portant matters.
have not yet seen the overbearing atti-
tude that some people have predicted for a
woman who is in partnership with her hus-
band, In fact, as far as I have observed,
through the medium OF worldly AFFAIRS two
lives are brought more IN sympathy with
each other If both are working along the
same lines to the same end. Home and
office become the center of united interest
Ii is a woman's utter lack Of knowledge
of her husbands business affairs that has
caused many divorces-the inability of the
wife to understand in any degree the trials
and tribulations through which her hus-
band has had to pass during the day
and consequently her unsympathetic atti-
tude toward one worn from business cares
and the toll Of the financial world.
II women are going into professional life
and undoubtedly they will continue to dc
so, why should they not try to help their
husbands as much they can? Surely II
is an ideal state OF home affairs when bus.
mess and domesticlty are shared by bott
the husband and the wife.
