Stick-in-the-Mud Wife

rouse some ambition in his wife. He said
II am determined to succeed in life
and to make something of myself. I am
already making rapid strides in my bust
ness, and I spend every moment that l
can reading and trying 10 improve my
self. and making up for the defects OF
my education. / seek the society of re-
fined and intelligent people, and watch
their manners and conversation i'm order
that I may improve my own.
But my wife will not help me. I give
her plenty of money and urge her to
dress we'll. but she always looks sloppy
and untdy. She win not even keep my
children well dressed. so that they may
look like the other children with whom
they associate She cares only for the
society of ignorant people whom she has
to make no effort TO please and refuses
to make any attempt to cultivate the
friendship Of educated people.
Il have tried to get her to study, and
to read, and to belong to women's clubs,
but she refuses. and says what's the use
in our worrying ourselves about trying
to rise in the world when we could be
so comfortable as we are. l am going
on, and she will not keep up with me,
What can l do TO make her keep step
with me?'
There's very little that one can do to
rouse ambition in a lazy and shftless
woman unless one can, in the slang
phrase of the day, throw a scare into
her." as a young man of my acquaint-
ance did, by frankly telling his wife that
unless she expected to lose him she had
to keep up with him, and that there were
too many intelligent and interesting
women in the world for a man not to
be bored by the society of a dull and
stupid wife.
OF course 1t requires some effort and
some labor for the woman who is tied
down by domestic affairs and by little
children to keep pace with the outside
world. but there's nothing worth while
ever achieved without fight and struggle.
The man who climbs must use his muscle
also. He doesn't reach the top by taking
the line OF least resistance.
And whether she likes it or not. whether
she wants to do it or not, the wife OF
the ambitious man has no choice in the
matter. She has simply got 20 keep up
with him. or be left behind, and thrown
into the discard. She has got to go the
pace with him. There is no other way
She must either keep up with the pro-
cession or else be left behind.
1t Is the custom to always pity the poor
neglected wife whose husband has gone
50. far beyond her in mental and spiritual
progress that they are no longer even in
telephoning distance OF each other, but
we may we'll reserve some of our sym
patty for the man whose wife was so
inert and lazy and shiftless of mind and
body that she would not try to keep up
with him, and so left him TO go his way
lonely and companionless through life.
