Should Wives Be Paid Wages?

I Or should employments be
grouped, as any two for IS a
week, or $50 a month for half a
dozen assorted?
This subject never gets tire
some, because discussions about
money cause a large per cent of
divorces ana most of those marital
troubles which make pay day look
like national calamity in many
a home! {.
But no matter how much it is
discussed, II never gets settled be-
cause nobody has been able to an
swer questions like the above,
while anybody can add q dozen
occupations" to the list. In fact,
that is just the trouble. When a
wife starts out to compute the
worth of her services she treats
each household art as IL 1t were

as II she were compelled to carry
all OF them on every day of ner

that very reason 1t is up to you
both to accept the word of your

You may be pretty. But remem-

you are responsible, and there
isn't any reason on earth why
YOU should be conceited. II your
parents wished to be cOnceited
over your good looks there might
be some reason for 1t.
II you do not do as your parents
advise now, when you are old
enough to be responsible for your
selves you will wish more than
once that you were two-year-olds
and not accountable for your &C.

vice, you'll never regret the fact.
