real work, they tell you in astonish-
ment that they cannot do it. They
have made up their minds to be
parasites upon their husbands and
the community. They will not do
housework. They will not have
children. They even will not make
their own clothes. Nor is it any
concern of theirs that their hus-
bands merely get by from month
to month and from year to year.
Just few days ago, l heard a
very distinguished woman speak
with scorn of women cooking for
men" Now, somebody has to do
the cooking - that seems plain
enough. If it is going to become
altogether obsolete for women to
do the cooking then we will have
TO become a nation of boarders and
homes will go into the discard.
Women are not altogether respon-
sible for the situation-men must
bear their share of the blame. Men
swarm aroun dthe butterfly girl
like moths around a candle. Not
one man in a thousand asks himself
what are the girls domestic quail

he marries. / doubt that he ever
thinks about what kind of a house
keeper and family accountant she
ia going To he until the wedding
journey is over and they are be-
ginning to settle in their own home.
Then, nine times out of ten the man
is too much of u coward TO tell his
wife that she has an economic duty
TO perform toward him, just as he
has toward her.
