Helping Husbands To Success
How Wives Can Easily Make or Break the Business
Careers of Me-
n DOROTHY DIN.

& FEW a y ago a man who, at Il,
~ had gone to work in one OF the
largest manufactures in THE
country as an office boy. took his seat
in the presidents chair as the head Of
it. He a risen by his own ability
from the very bottom to the very top
OF h ladder that he had started out
to climb. and he gave much Of the cred
it Of his success to his wife.

Many a Woman would have objected
10 this and demanded that her husband
entertain her Of an evening. or 90 out
with her, but my wife always saw thar

nothing interrupted me. She even
studied with me when my interest

and that kin Of a wife will pull. On
haul or shove him into some sort Of
success.
The Universal Wish.
Every woman in the world desires
above every other earthly thing for her
husband to succeed. First. because IL
realizes her ambition No personal
success mat a woman ever achieves
brings the same thrill Of qualification
to her that she experiences when her
mar is acclaimed a big man among
other men Secondly. a woman wants
her husband to succeed because il
means the prosperity and well being OF
herself and her children.
Inls being the case. IL is passing
strange that the average wife never
really sits down and tries TO figure
out how she can help her husband to
De a success instead OF a failure IN
life. n It is more than strange thai
her vision IS so short that sire cannot
see how you must sacrifice the little
thing OF tomorrow.
For instance. take a Young couple
who are just starting out in maL-imGly.
The first five years OF their life go
gether absolutely settles whether the
husband is going to be a prosperous
successful man at middle age, or
whether he is going to end his days as
q clerk in somebody else's office.

and sends him dull Witted and sleepy

no more chance OF getting on I'm the /
world than a snow flake has to exist 1

The Terrific Fear.
The fear Of the bill collector is the !
deadly fear that takes away a mans
couraEe 10 fight, and no man who lives e
with that dread always hanging over .
him can win In the business struggle. :
No man who has gone 70 bed at 2
O'Clock in the morning. even IL he has
been innocently playing bridge md
dancing the tango with his wife and
his friends, is a match in energy or
wit for the man who has gone TO bed
at 10 o'clock and who arises mentally
and physically refreshed.
Domestic u-nhappiness IS another
handicap that viii keep almost any
nan from winning success in life. The
who goes to his business after
having been nagsed half OF the night,
or from a breakfast table row with his
wife, goes with his nerves on edge. his I
curcharged with bitterness and his
temper at the boiling point. He Is in
no condition 10 deal calmly, dispas-
siOnately n wisely with any situation.
On the contrary, he is irritable. morOse
and surly. His point Of view is warped
and he is in a state Of mind in which
he alienates clients and throws up the
position he has been working for years
to attain.
Let women consider these things and
