Let Wives Earn Money as Well as Husbands T
in That Way if She Wishes-Ihe Next Generation
Will Abolish Such Anhquaed Ideas
By DOROTHY DIX

in, and jewels to adorn herself, and
automobiles to ride about in.
These things are no test of love.
The poor man can love, and generally
selfishly than the millionaire.
Are you going to say to him that
he mustn't love a woman, or think
about marrying her until he can give
his wife the things that rich people
have?
Among people in moderate circum-
stances condition of affairs has
arisen that we have got to face, and
that is that the average young man
does not make enough money to sup
port a wife. If he waits to marry I'M
til he is able to comfortably provide
for a family he has gotten to be an
old bachelor who is too selfish to mar
ry at all. or who is so full Of whims,
and crotchets. and cranks that no wo-
man wants him.
This is hard on the girls. and it is
hard for posterity and society In gen.
eral, for the time that people ought
to marry is in the Springtime OF life,
when they are full of hope, and en-
thuSiasm, and romance and adapta-
bility.
To say to any young couple that
they must wait through dreary years
while the bloom of their affection is
cling wings fade away from their ro-
nance, because convention DEGREES
that woman shall be shut up in her
house when she works after marriage,
is not only idiotic. it is crime.
For the only way in this day and
under present economic conditions
that the poor young man and his
sweetheart can venture into matri-
mony is by pooling their pay envel-
opes and both continuing to earn
money.
And why shouldn't they, pray?
The father, who is so shocked at the
idea of his daughter earning money
to help her husband outside of the
home, would think that she was doing
no more than her duty by working
to help him within the home. If she
married a poor man he would expect
her to do her part by doing the cook
ing and washing and ironing and
scrubbing and sewing. He would
think it all right for her husband to
accept this strenuous labor from the
girl.
1t happens that this girl has been
trained to a profession that she de-
lights in, whereas she loathes domes-
tic labor.

on in handsomely furnished office

If she did her own housework she
would be at hard labor, bending over
a washboard or a gas range. Her
hands would be sodden and rough and
she would spend her time doing over

This blouse with the raglan sleeves is
new and interesting. 1t is pretty for
variety of materials, too, for it makes
up charmingly in crepe de chine, tub
silk and the like and it is perfectly
adapted to cotton voile, marquisette,
lawn, batiste and similar fabrics. AS it is
shown here, it is plain with only stitched
edges but very dainty effect can be
obtained by embroidering the collar and
cuffs and the plain spaces at each side
OF the front. This treatment is good
one whether the blouse is used with the
odd skirt or tailored suit or made with
skirt to match. The stitched tucks serve
the double purpose Of giving weight to
the material and giving trimming effect.

The young woman, however, IS q
business girl, and she also gets a
thousand dollars year for salary,
and she and the young man, being
practical, modern young people, see
no reason on earth why they shouldn
get married. and she keep on with her
Job, thus doubling the family income,
and enabling them to live in comfort
until such time as the man is able to
make enough for the two of them.
The obstacle in carrying out this
plan is the girls father, who is horri-
fed at the thought of his daughter
following a gainful occupation after
she is married, and who says that
man should have sufficient love for
his young wife and sufficient pride to
keep her in her own home.
So the little heart tragedy goes on.
The young people, who dearly love
each other, can't get married because
the young man can't command a big
enough salary to feed and clothe two
people.
