What a Wife Needs is Brains
By WINIFRED BLACK.

: Mr.. Charles NJ. Schwab says the
ideal wife is the wife who can cook.

Right you are. Mr.. Schwab-when
the ideal husband Of that ideal wife
is the ideal man who chops the wood,
blacks his own boots and comes home
from down town early on purpose to
get the furnace ashes sifted before
it's too dark to see in the basement.
The ideal wife for any man in any
station in life is a woman who has
brains enough and sense enough and
adaptability enough to do whatever
work 1t is her duty to do in her own
particular station in life or the sta
ton to which her husbands position
entities her.
The woman who marries a poor
man and refuses to learn the things
that a poor mans wife ought to
know is just as silly and as selfish
and OF as little consequence in the
world as the woman who marries a
rich man and doesn't know enough
to learn how to live up to her posi-
ton.
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish probably new
er cooked a meal in her life-but
from the caustic good sense of some
OF her recent remarks on the woman
question, I'll wager that she could
learn how to do it in just about three
days II she had to.
And she'd cook 1t right, too, and
have the time of her life doing II.

The first requisite for any kind of

The woman who has brains enough
can learn to cook and to cook well
