Professional Mems Wives.

The professional mans wife has to
pay q penalty. If her husband is a
lawyer, Judge, statesman, senator or
any man holding high official position,
she has to be able TO meet every per
son just as that person desires to be
met. She must be contcnted to see
her husband taken by his people"
away from her and their family. She
must he as attentive TO the bore as
to he silver-tongued orator who
comes her way. Likewise, must she be
broad.minded enough not to notice
the Hattery and praise bestowed upon
her husband by gushing women as
well as sincere ones. She has to curb
anger and resentment. A handsome
man walking by the side Of his timid
little wife overheard the remark:
There is the handsomest man ever
saw" The little woman bit her lips
and walked on, but the man turned
10 his wife and said: She hasn't
been around very much or she would
not say that about me-" Then he ad-
ded, thoughtfully: 81 wouldn't give
you for a field of women as bold as
she is, and her smile made the wife
beautiful. The doctors wife prepares
herself for the theater, sits down with
dainty gloves in hand and the tele-
phone bell rings. Maybe someone has
the yellow fever, maybe a baby is
dying, or perhaps a woman has u bad
toothache The wife removes her coat,
takes or her hat an---stays at home.
She prefers laying 10 going without
her husband. Every time the doctor
and his wife are invited to a dinner
the stork or the ambulance gets in
! their way. II they plan even an auto
mobile ride boy falls of store
goods box and breaks his collar bone
And 80 the woman who marries pro.
fessi0nal man must smile like a saint
though she feels like a martyr, and
must eat her lonely meals while her
husband makes pretty speeches Ia
