UndOing of Mr.. Uplift
by LAFAYETTE PARKS

Really glad to see that many OF our
q. BEN are discussing the question whether
tRey ought to know more about their hus-
bands business affairs remarks Mr.. Up
lif pausing from his reading the paper in
an effort to interest young Mr.. Uplift in
the newest problem of social economies.
Not II hubby can help It. they won't"
contends Son. who sees a multitude OF dire
possibilities in the custom should it once
sbecome a fixture with the feminine side
of marital partnerships
1T seems to me that such an arrange
ment ought TO prove vastly beneficial to
the husband, as well as TO the wife" con-
tinues Father.
what chance would an enterprising
business man have of tucking away a few
extra bones for himself II the danes had
the run of the officer" demands Son, with
a keen eye to the practical side of life
ITS hard enough for a married man TO
keep his wife from pinchlng off the loose
change he brings home in his trousers
pocket II she had the right to camp out
in the cashiers cage believe me, the bust
ness would soon belong TO her, and hubby
would be just another hired man"
THE average business man has a great
many troubles now" says Father, that
his wife knows nothing about. II she
knew these matters she could sympathize
with him"
but would sheg doubtedly queries
Son. Most of the married danes that
know would tell their husbands II served
them right II somebody slipped EN- a
bunch of wooden coin or stack Of phony
checks. Instead OF handling hubby few
b. kind words TO cheer him up, wife would
be more apt to order him TO fire the
pretty girl cashier, blaming the loss on
her. What II he could save a few bucks
more II the Sunshine OF the office had tC
put ON her lid and go2'
II have always believed argues Father
that a wife should become acquainted
with more than the domestic side OF hel
husband"
The imported article isn't always wha
it's cracked up TO be-" protests Son
some trusting wives fondly imagine tina
their noble husbands spend ten hours I
day growing In their offices as they driv
their hired men like slaves under the lash
with the sole object OF making more cusl

The details OF business are so dry,
Father complains. 1T seems to me that
mans wife could bring inspiration to hin
by dropping into the office at unexpecte'
moments"
Take IL from me, Pop" advises Son
that business men have several YER
popular methods Of moistening the DR.

danes have been known 10 lose their job

1T is proverbiai that woman's IN
