A MANS PLACE IN THE HOME.
g.. 10y DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
writer.)

a Pc are all agreed that making q
" home is partnership job that
w requires the united efforts Of
both sexes.
No man can make a real home by
himself alone although he lives in a
palace designed BY an architect who
70 an artist. and puts a tidy on every
chair, and has q cook who is a chef.
No woman can make a home alone
by herself though she smokes cigar
cites in every room, has a parrot that
swears. and q cat that comes In late.
1t takes both a man and a woman
working together, to create that In
tangible atmosphere that changes a
house into a real home. This being
true, what should be the mans part
IN the actual york Of running the
a home? II he furnishes the money
which maintains it, does that end his
responsibility in the matter. or has
his wife a right to expect him to add
the role of handy man around the
house to that of financial hacker?
An Interesting light has just been
thrown ON this question by a recent
decision Of a Judge Of the Domestic
Relations court.
A man was tried for wife desertion.
He pleaded as his excuse for having
abandoned his own fireside that his
. wife made him do all Of the house
work In addition to supporting the
family. He said that after having
worked hard all day as carpenter he
would have to cook the supper. make
the beds, sweep the floor, wash the
children's faces, and often work till
midnight doing the family laundry.
For which reason at last this poor
downtrodden domestic worm turned,
and, in vulgar parJance, beat 1t.
The Judge, being Just man, exon
Grated the martyred husband and de-
nvered q severe lecture to the slave
driving wife In which he told her, in
substance, that when a man provided
the money to support home he had
done all that could be reasonably ex-
pected Of him and that his wife had
no right to burden him with the &C.
tual work OF running 1t. That was her
part Of the business.
A most Just decision, in my opinion.
Personally, think that when man
provides the money to support a
house he has contributed his quota Of
the labor, and that the rest is up to
HIS wife. He should be considered an.
honored guest who is not expected to
DO any other work or face any of the
worry Of keeping the household ma.
ckinery running. a
This is, of course, II the wife is
well. Naturally II the wife is an inya-
lid the husband would have to lend a
hand. but a healthy woman who has
not industry and intelligence and ex-I
