money that he lavshes upon q. In a
word, the American wife is represented
as the champion confidence artist, and
the American husband as the softest
easy mark in the world, and this picture
has been printed SO often that not only
all foreigners but many of our own
country people are beginning to believe
that Il is a real portrait of the American
husband and wife.
But deny emphatically that il is true,
or that the American husband does more
for his wife than she does for him. 1t
seems to me that in the glve-and-take of
mRtrimoNy, nowhere do husbands and
wives come nearer to breaking even than
in this country.
It may be true the American husband
gives his wife more money, according to
his means to spend than do the men of
other nations. Certainly it is true that
with the solitary exception of the French
an American woman can make more show
on 81 than an English or German or
italian woman can on IS.
But IL the American man gives his wife
money he demands that she get results
with that money. 1t is the custom of
the country for a wife to be her hus-
bands show window. the visible ba-
ronieter, of his fortunes that all the world
may see. Unconsciously we all estimate
an American mans financial ability by
his wife's looks. If she. is smartly
dressed we conclude that her husband is
prospecting. If she is shabby and dowdy,
we infer that her husband is not one Of
those who know how to get along.
Many an American woman would prefer
to dress simpler, wear fewer jewels and
less expensive hats, and give the money
thus saved to her poor old mother, or
some needy relative, but her husband
will not permit her. She's his walking
advertisement of good business and equal
to credit in the bank.
If the American woman belongs to more
clubs. and goes to more teas and lunches
than the women in other nations-is5less
tied down by. her domestic duties-it is
not because these duties are neglected,
but simply because she is better man
