BUSINESS WOMAN
The BETTER Wife

able to dress and live on an equal
footing with their more fortunate
sisters.
1t Is but a natural thing that wo-
men who have known what it is to
fight the hard problem of earning a
livelihood would be 'le to main
tain splendid homes and rear good
children. No business woman be-
comes mere appendage to the
man she marries. She is an equal
partner and not a dependent one.
1t Is natural that a man will give
greater love to this sort of woman
than to her bygone sister who made
it her life's business TO capture a
man that he might support her.
The 'old" woman was a creature
of barbarism. She was the drudge
of her husband and his slave.
The business woman does not
permit her husband to ill-treat her,
and therefore she gains his respect.
She does not cringe before him be-
cause she knows how to make a
living independently, and she will
do it rather than submit to his
abuse.
The scope of reasoning she gain.
ed in the business work will make
her a better mother, and she will
always appreciate the blessings of
happy, comfortable home.
Business women earning $500 a
year, and knowing how far that
amount of money will go toward
their support, do not marry men on
5000 salaries, unless he is kind and
she is very much in love. When
men and women are in love to that
extent they can get along ON $500
year very satisfactorily. And if
the young husband has got the stuff
in him that business wife will look
out for Increases in his salary.
