wife in her home earns as much as the
husband does in his profession outside.
She is giving her best efforts for him.
Why is she not entitled to half of the
money he earns and why must she beg
for it?
Il am not speaking now of the Mig
gardly husbands who ask their wives
what they have done with the last quar-
ter that was given them. That is one
kind of a husband that is to be found.
| am talking of the so-ealled generous
husband whose wife must ask for what
she receives, for what she really earns.
There is no more reason for this state of
things than for the man who is en-
ployed by business firm being obliged
to ask each week for his salary, and it -
as unjust.
People say that women of today lack
domesticity. and they wonder that a
woman with a comfortable home should
now and then go outside to earn money.
But no one who has not experienced it
knows the penury and discomfort of not
having penny that one can honestly
call ones own and that one can always

to train child early, before he has
habits and too much experience, to obey
at the first telling, is really only kind
ness. Let's see; when n child is in great
danger from an approaching carriage or
automobile, or some falling object. when
lie must take medicine, when certain in
evitable routine things are to be done,
rs dressing, eating. going to bed when
he is away from home, or in the pres

really suffers i'll habitually disobeying
and being nagged at, perhaps being pun
ished before he can be made to do some
thing that it is positively necessary for
him to do! What a nerve strain it is
ON the mother and on other members
of the family! Had the child moved at
the word, without trying to take upon
himself the burden of deciding what he
would do, how much more time he would
have had for play or for being quiet and
happy. What splendid habit of
serenity for meeting the real ''mustS" of
life he would have been forming, He
who can do what he must do without
friction IS happy mortal The writer

Has POIiteness Gone Out of Fashion,

a long while ago, as long ago. in fact,
as when we We're children we learned a
| little rhyme which went like this:
Politness is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kindest way.
And we used to think about il some
times, and try to be polite, but we've
forgotten all about it now, and if the
sentence hasn't been stricken from our
| memories by this it has taken in such
Il different construction that no one
would think of calling it Synonymous
with its original meaning.
Times are changed" and we have to
rush along at such a rate to keep up
that if we were to be polite and kind
as we went along some one would pass
| us and reach the goal first.
We've all grown Independent, and the
Twentieth century womans creed says.
Look out for yourselves" So if we
| jostle our neighbOr in the mad rush.
what of it? She'll give a jolt sometimes,
so why should we waste time in apollo
giving?
CiviIity does not cost anything Per
haps that accounts for its questionable
ness. This is an extravagant age and
the good things of life come high.
Some day somebody of Importance will
get corner on ''politeness;' then it will
prove marketable commodity and the
milk of human kindness" will be heard
of again.
Aside from the thousand and one little
acts of politeness, the beg pardon, y
| please" the all too infrequent or half
hearted thank you" there are many lit
| tie acts of courtesy which have fallen
into diSuse which ought to be written in
gold and put over every woman's mir
ror where she would be sure to see the
writing whenever she sees herself.
There is. for instance, laXness about
the keeping of engagements that seems
50 little and means so much. Break an
appointment if we must. but let us be
c0nsiderate about il, and wherever and
whenever possible send the word of
warming. In these days Of telephones,
teegraphs and post boxes there is sell
| dom an excuse for not making known
any cfni e in arrangements. and yet we
all know the time wasted in fruitless
waitiI <
Another 'unwritten law" If the friend
upon whom we are calling has another
whom we have reason to believe should
have preference, be generous and take
YOUR departure. You will be more well
come for L next time.
