There are two kinds of mothers who
drive their children from home.
One is the too-loving mother, who
by an everlasting sticky sweetness
makes her progeny. as they grow up,
long to go forth into land of corned
beef and cabbage, where they may find
something besides caresses and cod
dlings that were all right when they
were babies, but which sour on the
stOmachs OF their manhood and WON
anhood.
The other kind is the woman who
scolds.
Some women, you know, think Csey
can't run a household, boss a husband
or raise children, without scolding.
They scold when they work, they
scold when they don't work. It's
scold, scold. scoid from moi ming till
night, over the most trivial of things,
or over nothing at all. Know that
kind? OF course TheI are so many
And I'm going to say right here,
though it sounds like lese majesty,
that when it comes to scOlding the
average woman puts it all over the
average man.
Most husbands are better natured
at home than most wives. Perhaps
the reason for this is that the wife
doesn't give the husband a chance.
She gets there first and keeps there.
He's lucky if he slides in mild word
edgewise.
That's why We see so many men
with that apologize look, and why SO
many are deathly afraid OF anything
feminine, and why many more daren't
invite anybody out home without first
taking a month or so preparing wife
beforehand, and anticipating a month
or so afterward to hear about it from
that same wife.
