CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
DICK GROWS CONFIDENTIAL

NFIDENI IAL
But, Margie, we will live at the
other place. Think it over and we
will talk about it again. If you will
be happier in the apartment, that is
the place for you. Irealize what this
awful physical inactivity and pain
means to you, but 1 want you to
know love you, never loved any one
but you. All the other attractions
have been only momentary interests,
forgotten the moment they were
over.
81 don't think, Margie, that any
woman has ever understood just
what life = life out in the world
means to a man. My dear, it is a
hand-to-hand fight with every other
man. If you are on salary you have
hundred or two trying to pull you
down that they may make room for
themselves. If you are in business
for yourself you must remember al
ways there are thousands of others
in the same line.
''You women are all signing for
what you call equaIity-you do not
know you are asking not for right
to earn your living, but the chance to
f1ght-fght until at last you are con-
qUered by death itself
81 never see a woman enter bust
ness life but am constrained to pity
her.
~Men will forget, if she is success
full, that she is woman and will
stand up to her in the same hand-tO-
hand conflict. Some of them will
knife her in the back. They will lie
about her; steal from her. They will
doubly resent her entrance into the
conflict because back in the head of
every man is the conviction that
home is the place for a woman"
But, Dick, don't men fight fairly?"
Eyes, my dear, if they can, but Un-
fairly if they must. The trend of
business is to get there

that beautiful sun parlor.

During the last year two new

81 have found no one yet among
our forces that am sure will fill my
place satisfactorily as sales manager.
81 want to make you comfortable
and also feel it my duty to make Mrs.
Selwin happy. She is as fond of us
as she would be of her own children.
Don't let me persuade you if you
think you would be happier alone,
