to even be honest, and so came to
nothing speedily
If there were not so many grown
up babies among women the world
would reach the millennium a great
deal sooner than at its present rate.
1t sounds absurd TO say that women
old enough 10 know better sit down
to weep and act like infants, but It
is true. Having been spoiled at home,
they expect their husbands 10 con-
tinue the spelling process, and IL the
men look for common sense and
grown-up traits they are termed
brutal at once. One selfish woman
quoted her husbands cigars as her
excuse for wasting money, until even
her relatives were disgusted with her.
John throws away money on to-
bacco, so ! see no reason why should
skimp and save" she would whine;
but Johns" tobacco was small item
compared with her wastefulness.
There are more women who will fling
down to the store and order ex-
pensive things they cannot afford, If
they discover their husbands have
wasted" a few dollars, according TO
their definition, than this world
dreams Of. One irate wife discovered
that her husband had taken a friend
to an expensive dinner, and she at
once proceeded TO order a silk dress
she did not in the least need. The
husband was one of the most econom-
ical of men, but on that occasion he
felt that he must do something to
honor the man who had done so much
for him in business way and who
would only be few hours In the city.
so he did recSlessly squander money
on the dinner. Neither he nor his
wife frequented the fashionable and
expensive place, but he knew It was
necessity. That kind OF childish
spirit never exists In an ideal home,
but many husbands could testify, II
they would. to similar happenings.
But, thank goodness, there are
women In every community who are
furnishing the leaven that is finally
the leaven the whole lump Of society.
Without boasting of the superiority
5i living within their means or set
ting their own standards, they simply
show by their lives and families that
they are happy and prosperous. They
are proud OF their ability TO manage
their homes without help, but they
do not proclaim this pride from the
housetops. Il won't make a servant
