Choosing A Career

making good in such robust occupa- tions as farming and 4gardening. There are women officers of banks, women in high positions in all kinds of business, women sculptors, suc- cessful women novelists.
 I have noticed that many people who would be aghast at the idea of a son of theirs becoming a writer or painter seem to take it for granted that the arts are the only field open to daughter who desires a career, They insist on her spending years over her "voice culture' or violin scraping, when the practical soul of the poor child yearns for solid food. We have many women artists who rank high in letters, in painting, sculpture and music, but I think women in the arts will command more respect when parents cease to think of art as a genteel hobby for daugh- ter until she is married.
 Most of the women who are mak- ing good today in jobs of their own choosing wasted years, before they were wise enough to do as they liked. I hope that the day will come when girls and boys alike will be allowed to follow their own tastes in choos- ing their careers.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-27

A very sad man said to me the other day:
 Do you 5hink 1t Is possible to be too good to a woman?"
 Then he went on to say: T mar ried a pretty, young girl with whom I was crazily in love, and I devoted myself to trying to make her happy. I have plenty of money, and l in dulged her every wish and whim. She had nothing to do but amuse herself. No cares, no worries. Whatever bur- dens there were I bore them. l never even told her how hard I worked that she might not have to lift a fin- ger to do anything.
 Looking back now I see that she took everything, and gave nothing herself. It never occurred to her to consider me, or that 1t was just as much her duty to try to make me happy as it was my duty to try to make her happy, or that she had any obligations toward the home.
 "A few months ago she left me and went to Reno to get divorce. She gave no excuse for doing so, except ! that she was tired of me, and of mat rimony, and wanted to be free.
 T lost her through being too good to her"
 "Surest thing in the world" I re- piled You can spoil a husband or wife just as easily as you can a baby, and when you do they act pre- cisely the same way They get peev- ish and cross, and they throw away their bottles, and they howl for the moon, and because there isn't some body who can lay them across their knees, and spank them into sanity and good humor. and make them be- have, they rush to the divorce courts.
 Look at all the doormat wives whose only function in the home Is to be trampled upon! Look at the women who are perpetual burnt offering to their husbands stomach, and who stood over the stove for hours every day concocting the elab- crate dishes that their husbands de- mandl Look at the wives who work 12 or 14 hours a day and who never have $1 of money given to them that they can spend as they please!
 Look at the men who splurge around in fine clothes. and belong to expensive clubs. and who go on long trips, while their wives never have decent dress, and are sup posed to get enough fun staying at home nursing the baby! Look at the women who tremble and turn pale If they are kept out 10 minutes late and are not at home to open the door with glad, sweet smile when their august lords arrive!
 Are these the best loved wives? Have these women the most faithful husbands? Never.
 Just as a spoiled child never re- spects the parents it can tyrannize over, neither does the spoiled hus- band regard the wife who will stand for any sort of talk or conduct from him. It Is the wives who keep their husbands on their p's and as, the wives who demand square deal, who get it. It Is the wives who won't stand for any sidestepping

 Another Alabama man who is making good on the stage is Chappell Cory, IT,, and interesting news of the success comes from New York and Chicago. A news note from his home city, Birmingham, says:
 "Only a few months ago this tall ented young son of MT and Mrs. Chappell Cory of Roebuck Springs. went to New York to seek a stage career. He has secured a part in Merton of the Movies,' and is now appearing with this company in Chi cago. MT. Cory. through friends, met Glenn Hunter, who stars in the play, and through him the connection was made. q saw young Hunter play the lead in that this fall when I was in New York, and he was sim ply fine.)
