Therefore, the wife who has been
business woman, is almost invariably
economical and thrifty, and spends
carefully the money that her husband
has earned at so great a price Also
she considers her husband in a thou
sand little ways that the woman who
has never done a mans work herself
never shows to her husband. -
She does not lay upon him her own
burdens, because she knows he is al
ready staggering along under-all the
load he can carry. She does not re-
sent every impatient speech. because
she remembers times when her own
nerves were raw, and every word
bruised them like a blow. Nor does
she expect her husband to trot around
with her to places of amusement in
the evening, because she, too, has
been so weary after a grinding day in
office or store that all she asked in
the world was just chance to flop
down on couch and relax.
! OF course it is impractical for hus-
f, bands and wives really to exchange
/ Jobs, but it does seem as if their I'm
agination might enable them to put
themselves in each others places. and
so get(a realization of how hard life
is on the other. Surely that would
give them more patience with each
other, and make them have more pity
and understanding of what the other
] must endure.
