Less Liberty and More Love Is the
 Recipe for Happiness

"Chrys ought to make lovely duchess-shes so independent Don't you think SO Mother dear?" I asked trying to founder into safe conver- sational shoal.
 Some women are born independ- ent"-Mother smiled at me and blushed-"some achieve independence as I have done, and some, like Chrys, are born. with it, achieve it, and also have it thrust upon them. It may make our Chrys a regal creature-but I'm not at all sure Jane dear. that it will make her happy woman moth CT replied. For the first time I saw that Chrys' approaching nuptials didn't altogether meet with Mothers ap- proval.
 Does any normal woman dote on being independent permanently" I ventured. q guess lot of us want to throw all of our burdens on some nice man, forever, I know I do- though you think me so awfully fond of my freedom, Mother darling." replied.
 "Heresy. my child! Just as we are about to have suffrage added to our other burdensi"
 Between getting the vote and learn ing to earn her own living. as a pro- duct of her war work. it does seem to me that women have got to keep their brair.s well balanced otherwise. they're going to lose something mighty valu- able!'
 Just what, daughter dear?' Their peculiar privilege of being fetted and spoiled. I don't pretend to scorn thati I'm normal-I like it, Mother dear. I believe in the equality 1 of the sexes-and so does Bob-and ' suppose he'll sec to it that vote regu- | larly-but I assure you that I'll never stand for any reform which perils my 1 primitive right of depending for sol ace and support of my very own hus- band. Moreover. Bob likes me best so. though he has awfully advanced views about the ballot for women" Quite lecture, Jane, still I wish 1 all brides would be as honest as you are. But lately it seems the fashion l for the young women to insist on their | liberty as wives, long before they | have any ideas about the dual respon- abilities and interests of married life"
 And they go so hard after liberty that they shirk all their duties in a bunch" I broke in. "The chief 'lib- erty' a lot of girls want is freedom to sperd all the husbands pay envelope holds. Isn't it simply terrible? Why know girls who pride themselves on being well trained modern women They can't get help in their homes, ow- ing to the present scarcity Of house maids. And instead of undertaking the housework themselves, and making it a fine art, they treat it as GrudSery and shirk it-and scold about it like | like-shrews. Now just what would | they think of their husbands if they 1 shirked disagreeable business details in the same way?"
 Tt is tragic, certainly, my dear | Why can't they look on home making as loving service? Poor man is more or less dumb but he is always appre- ciative-"
 "Oh, Mother dear! Mother dear!" broke down. Of sudden found my
 self sobbing in Mothers arms.
 All the wisdom ever written abou
 woman and marriage mocked me fol the last time Hereafter all such talk ing would amount to about the same
 thing as cutting water with a knife For had found the key. to all matri
 monia! wisdom which is tine key whicf
 unlocks every woman's happiness: l I knew that loving husband is tn,
 choicest gift life ever bestows on { woman
 And Bob, when I had won my wa, back to him. was going to be cherish
 ed as my most precoius possession. ant
