Give Your wife n square Deal.


Are you sure that you are giving
your wife square deal? Perhaps she.
with all her charm. doesn't happen to
have either great energy or executive
ability. She may not want any occupa-
ton outside your home. She may not
be strong enough for anything else. In
that ease she must get her experience
of life second land. She can, perhaps,
get much from ner reading, from her
friends. She must, however, depend
mainly upon you. You must be her
point of contact with the larger life
outside your home. If you surround
your d0ings with an air of mystery
make the patronizing assumption that
she can't understand the affairs which
interest and occupy you, you deliber-
ately narrow her life, you deliberately
lessen her chances for efficiency and
happiness. No matter how good a pro
wider you may be, no matter how kind
and considerable, you are not giving her
a square deal. This does not mean
that you should heap your business
cares and troubles upon your wifes
head. That would be as wrong as for
her, to shift her domestic troubles to
your shoulders.
Perhaps you are so unfortunate as
to be discontinued with your wife She
is frivolous, extravagant. impractical.
You feel that her beauty does not coun-
teract these deficiencies? Probably that
is true, but who is to blame? Did
you marry her because she was eco
nomical, practical, a good housekeeper.
a good prospective mother? You were
fascinated by her because she was pref
ty, irresponsible. illogical and whimsi-
cal. You are now disconnected with
her because she is irresponsible, illogi-
cal and whimsical.
Did you think that a wedding ring
and a husband would change her na-
ture? Would you buy a horse because
he could travel in 40, and then be-
come disguised with him because he
couldn't haul bricks? Strange as it
may seem. the wife with whom you
are discontinued was once the pretty
