Highest-Paid Woman Writer.
HUSBANDS AND
HOUSEWORK
Highest-Paid Woman Writer.

An irate lady, who is evidently
greatly peeved with her husband
because he won't help her wash the
dinner dishes, asked me IL i do not
think that a man Is a mean, selfish
old thing who refuses to assist his
wife in doing the housework and
taking care OF the children.
That depends of two things.
(a) On whether the man likes TO
DO housework or not.
(b) On whether the wife Is sick
or not.
II a man enjoys puttering around
a house-and there are some do
mestic angels with celestial wings
sprouting on their shoulder blades
who dote on re-hanging the pictures
i of an evening. and find, rest and re-
creation in gliding radiator and
shifting the position of the piano
why, a wife would be a brute to
deny a husband the simple joy OF
mixing the salad dressing, and
scrubbing the pots and pans.
Such a man has a right to go on
q debsuch of house cleaning when
| ever he feels inclined to, nor should
his wife restrain him from doing
the marketing, and wheeling the

| finds it thrillingly interesting to do
household chores.
But IL he hates. and loathes, and
despises being turned into an errand
boy, and IL he grumbles and
grouches over being made to do odd
Jobs around the house. and IL his
idea of a happy home Is a place
where meals automatically cook
themselves, and clothes hang them
selves up on hooks. and laundry

of his resources.
There are no commoner or more
pitiful tragedies than those Of the
men who break down at middle life,
Just when they were ready TO reap
the rewards of years OF faithful Ia
Dor, and many and many Of these
tragedies might have been averted
if the men had had wives who had
understood the value of conserving
their energies. and not letting them
waste a particle of strength on any
think but the essential industry OF
their own careers,
You often hear a woman boasting
that she has never gotten up at
night with her Jchildren. and that
when the babies howled with the
collie that she sweetly slept while
her husband arose and walked the
floor with the crying infant.
Such a woman brands herself as
not only selfish, but lacking in plain,
common, horse sense, for by just so
much as she let her husbands rest
be disturbed, by just so much did
she unfit him to compete with his
rivals in business.
No man who has spent the night
hopping up and down to get a drink
for little Mary, and to see that little
Johnnie hasn't kicked the covers
off. and to heat the baby's milk, can
compete with the man who goes to
work fresh and rested from an un-
broken nights sleep. or course a
woman will say that she feels just
as dull and stupid and tagged and
nervous when she doesn't get her
sleep as a man does, but the woman
can find time during the day to take
a little nap, which the man can't,
and she doesn't have to decide ques-
tions that require her wits to be at
their nimblest and her brain at its
clearest, as the man des.
Therefore, for her own selfish in
terest. IL for no other reason, q wife
is wrong and foolish to expect her
husband to do her work as well as
her own. The best investment in
time and energy woman ever
makes is when she turns her home
into a-farbor OF peace in which her
husband finds nothing but rest and
relaxation that enables him to 60

ergy to make the fight in which he
is engaged and win out.
