but SIC was simply daffy over MIN,
and, from TIE very hour CT the we'd

Tor the man she married.
"And the reward of all this dove
ton is that last week he .oid he.

"Yot we want to help our hus-
hands, repeated the woman in sage
green. How are we to Go it without
driving them from us?"
Il sometimes think" said the wo'
man in blue" that the only way IL
help a man is to be 4 hindrance. and
that the heavier burden a woman Is
to a husband the more she stren5iE'
ems him. That is paradoXical but i
seems to work ont satisfaotor in
life. If you will notice, you WI see
that the women who have u haYe
money always have husbands VIZ
make it, while the women wa can
do without things never haze tlcA.
LET a woman show that shc can
support herself, and her husband ai's
down and lets her do It. where's ,he
woman who can't even keep hcNe, dc
