THE BUSINESS GIRL AS A WIFE.

her job depends upon her putting the
soft pedal on her own feelings, and
learning to control her temper. and her
tongue, and turn off the waterworks.
RACES, the girl who is SO sensitive that
she has to be handled with gloves lasts
about two minutes in the business
world.
Therefore, the business girl learns to
take reproof meekly, and not to have
Mysteries every time any criticism. is
made on her work, and not to havo her
ever the place for careless feet to tread
upon, and this valuable information
Is about the richest dowry that any
bride can bring to her husband
Any girl who has acquired the art OF
getting along in peace and harmony
with harried and harassed bosses. and
sub-bosses, has taken a post graduate
course in the science of managing a
husband, and her price is above rubies
as a wife.
The business girl has sympathy for
her husband that no woman who has
never earned her living can possibly
feel. 1t is the comradeship and under
standing of one who has fought the
same fight and knows nov terribly the
battle RACES In the marts where men
struggle for money. The woman who
has never worked always thinks of her
husband going down to business OF a
morning with envy, as II he were
going forth to a joyous picnic where all
he had to do was to tell stories and
listen to jokes, and smoke cigars, and
eat a good lunch.
The nm who has been there has
no such illusion. She knows that when
a man goes down to work he goes to
mortal combat. She knows all the nerve
wrecking anxiety, the toll that spends
him TO the lost ounce of strength, the
WEAKNESS, the despair, the bitter DIS
appointment that he goes through, that
leaves him SO exhausted at night that
all he wants to do is Just to crawl into
a hole like a sick animal and be left
alone.
II Is not the wives who have been
business women who drag their tagged
out husbands around to parties and
balls. at night, or who meet a worn
man at the door with a recital Of ev-
erything that has gone wrong in the
homo during the day. The women who
commit these crimes against their hus-
bands are the who have passed
their lives making angel food in the
kitchen instead OF bread and butter in
the commercial world.
The business girl wins out on every
count as A wife. So 20 TO II, Son, Mar
ry one II she will have you, and be
happy ever after.
