Mrs. Gibson.
I'VE hear about the lax marriage
ideas OF modern France, but the Unit

every ~ marriages. There is rea-
son and that is the women of Ameri-
ca marry men and then look out for
a good time. Sinking the responsible
ity OF the business of married life.
They sit around the house during the
day, and when their husbands come
home at night, tired on. with the hard
days WORK, they want TO go out to
spend the evening.
Pouts Breed Dissension.
This often causes dissension. The
husband is too tired and tells the wife
so. Then she pouts. Ii she had been
attending TO her business ali day. as
she should have been, she would have
been just as tired as he and as readv
to stay at home. They should b.

turns from his hard days work
Yes returned Mrs Gibson, but
