Because, My Child, she once
dreamed she saw her husband max

What, Mother is meant by unfair
advantage?
There are many meanings. Child,
but in my mind the real unfair adj
vantage is to publish her age when
giving a Woman's obituary.
Does a woman, Mother ever volun-
tarily state her age?
The only time. Little One, is when
she wishes the statement of her add
ed years to give weight to her advice.
Why, Mother, is it so seldom a man
dares invite a guest to dinner?
Because, My Dear, he has to have
his wife's permission, and she has to
have the cooks.
