Family Life In Chill
1T had every opportunity OF ooseFv'
ing family life. and I must say thlaK
that both husbands and wives consider
each other more in Chill than they do
here.
"what I said the other day Is per-
fectly true-the Gillian wife would not
dream OF such a thing as asking mel:
husband where he had been II he came
in at . A. NJ. She would know he had
been banqueting with perhaps fifty other
men, and that, getting In his cups at
1 o'clock, he had waited till It was
light enough to find his way nome
And do you approve OF such silence
on the part Of the wife," ! asked
Certainly" replied the S!gnorita.
..Ths husband is a free lance. He has
done nothing wrong. He has simply
been out for little harmless good
time. You understand. Of course, that
his wife knows he has not traduced
his marriage vows.
To illustrate the liberallty Of the Chill
ian woman. At Valparaiso knew a very
wealthy family having a conservatory
full of the most exquisite flower'-
orchids, roses, camellias, &c The hus-
band became very much interested in an
opera singer Gilded baskets and beau
tiful ribbons were sent to his home, and
his wife, with her own hands, used to
cut and arrange the flowers for him to
send 10 what an American woman would
have termed her rival The wife knew
her husband was not untrue TO her, and
woman merely as an artistic, and she
wanted to give him pleasure"
suggested TO Signorta Huidobro that
had always fancied the women Of
South America to be rather too ardent
In temperament for such breadth OF
view.
Ardent and Sympathetic.
ARDENT. yes; but sympathetic, They
understand their husbands. and they
have hearts" the Signorita replied. THE
Spanish woman watches her husband as
. cat does q mouse. II he comes home
worried from business cares she sees 1t
In one glance at his face. During din
ner she steers clear OF the rocks. She
knows just how far she can CO. And
afterwards, when they rise from the
table, perhaps she will seize both his
hands and dance around, saying, Now,
we are going TO have lovely evening.
We will go to the theatre or concert,
or. II he prefers to stay at home, she will
talk to him. cajole him-do everything
to make him forget his cares.
The Gillian woman realizes that her
husband works, that his life is harder
than hers. oh. know YOU American
women work yourselves to death.
don't say your husbands work harder

have easy lives-very little work. You
know, for one thing, there is more
money there.
II heard an American girl say the
other day: Well, perhaps l might make
cup OF coffee at pinch, bu. that
would be the most could do And
she seemed to be proud OF 1t.
Every Gillian girl learns how to cook
and to manage household. We were
brought up on ranch, and my sister
and kept house for alternating months.
We had to account for every penny We
spent. every chicken that was killed.
American girls, even those who
worked before marriage, are quite help
less afterwards. Yet Gillian lady,
who had never lifted a hand before
marriage, wouldn't hesitate to kill and
dress chicken. Think OF IT,"
The chicken-slaying Feat.
didn't want to think OF It'll couldn't
with equanimity.
~ The Signorita insisted, and had to
!, own up that, like the majority of my
q craven sisters, was unable to per.
form the chicken-slaylng feat
"The American woman does not con.
slider her husband as the Spanish woman
does" pursued Signorta Hu!dobro.
T" when by question I had led her back
from the poultry yard to the family cir
Gle. AN American man comes home
utterly exhausted from his days work.
What meets him at the top OF the
: stairs? John, would you mind going
around to the bakers? l forgot the
rolls.
Now, what business had the wife to
forget any more than her husband to
let II slip his memory that he had to go
to work that morning? Having those
rolls was her business"
Then you feel SORRY for the Amer
lean man?
II think he Is q slave-in most In
stances. As I said before. he Is scared
blue OF his wife"
So. step this way. poor enslaved Amer
lean husbands. Perhaps the Slgnorita
will tell YOU how TO achieve liberty and
q ticket to Chill.
