she has business enough within the walls OF her
house. Whatever she does outside is just 30 much
taken from the strength and thought that belong
rightly to the home and its inmates. From the
beginning II has been womans part to care for
what the man provided, and this instinct Is
rooted back many centuries and is part Of the
human race to-day So surely as 1t is violated
for anything but the greatest need the woman
and the man suffer for the violation. She grows
to despise the man who does not provide fob
her-and he loses his selfrospect.
The woman who works with all her might to
help a man make money, makes a great mis-
take If she is seeking happiness, for the money
is bought at the cost of the character develop
ment in tenderness and unselfshness that the
man needs and gets when he looks after his
wife as he wants to when he marries. It should
be some very strong cause that leads her to take
from him this right to an unselfsh manhood. The
woman who makes a true home does moro for
the man than she does by going into the labor
mart, and she cannot do both.
It IS true that the happiness Of married life
