corning her is of special interest to To-

monopolizing the publicity, the wives

proudest possession is her home and
children. whose tenderest care their

women, whose constant inspiration the
achievements of her husband. Prop
erly and inevitably they have a close
acquaintance with and a keener, wider
interest in public questions than the
average woman. and they enjoy the So
cial opportunities which their position
gives them; nevertheless, they impress
