many requests are resented as un-
warranted. An undertow of dis
agreeable feeling and antagonism
is thus avoided.
Ideal Arrangement.
IL have followed this plan for

she seldom works eight hours a
day. The fact that | pay her a
good wage wouldn't justify me in
feeling that | owned all her time.
No man or woman should own

Each person should have his own
home and social life and diver
slons.
This is all the more essential
since the average home is not
