me 60 attempt 60 solve this great
question rs to whether the parasitic
wfre or the poor. tired ovcrworkcd

Deeper thinkers than ! have settled
that. but the discussion has aroused
my feminine cafiosity-how. o how.

me
OF course. know we wives are all
supported IN luxury and ease. but
somehow l CANT stay In bed In the
a. m. or p. m. or any old time and
accomplish anything. even tho I
reluctantly confess do only enough

How do they get the house 90 clean

Dear Miss Grey: So the days OF
ehiyairy aren't past and there are
some honest.to- gcodness ''reai men
left. had begun TO think there
weren't any This discussion you
are having about '.who should build
the fires In the morning." Is bringing
out some Interesting things. the most
interesting 20 me being the fact that
some men are thoughtful OF their
wives. I think few OF those men,
especially the ones who wrote that
they married their wives for chums
and not for slaves. and that the
wives hegnr the weaker sex should
be protected as much ms possible,
should be placed IN glass cage Tor
= few Of Us neglected ones TO look at.
/ think II would be a real treat.
don't mean this as sarcasm az all.
for Il Is wonderful revelation to
me 10 know there are such men. I
would honestly and truly like TO
meet enc 20 sse what he y like
no you suppose these wives appre-
clnse their men as they shouidf l
have been married for 10 years tam
only 3. ncwA and my husband has
never been thoughtful OF me in any
way. build the fires or there
wouldn't be any built and also
come home from work ut o'clock
every night and get the dinner while
he sits around and reads the paper.
when We no out l have TO stumble
on tho car all by myself. strugsle
with my coat all alone. and last
night after the theatre when he In
vited me 20 have dinner with him
and the bin was presented. he asked
me- IL had any money ~ he didn't.

Dear Miss Grey. Just a word to
ne ~Bacon Fryer" that builds the
fIfpa. l don't see how man can do
o11 that cooking and cut the mustard
ofherwfse. packed my lunch basket
- years IN Seattle and seldom I
crooked my own breakfast. and can
cpok perhaps as wen a. the Bacon
Yryers can; one who has been IN
Alaska four or five years must know
that much But. thank God. we are
now located on a farm where we
have bacon TO fry We will admit
that this bacon fryer must be some
cook. hut he must live close to the
for m my opinion he Ii too busy
cooking 10 work.
ONE WHO DOES WORK
Dear Miss Grey: Who. may I ask.
