There seems 10 be 4 very strong

MODERN WIFE IS
MORE THAN
COOK
Husband Demands Spouse Be
Able to Be Companion As
Well As Housekeeper.

THE way to mans heart is
through his stomach" is not the
watchword of the modern wife.
Times have changed. And SO have
men. Aphorisms quite fitting to
grandmother's day no longer suf-
flee. Not that men have ceased
to regard good food-far from it!
But, today, they want more in a
wife than just a good cook and
housekeeper. They demand a COM
panion--a pal-as well.
Must Be Practical.
A man may wish to feel that his
wife is delicate creature, who
cannot open her own doors or get
into a car without his help, or that
she. cannot move heavy pieces Of
furniture or hang pictures, but
he does not want to feel that she
Is unable to cook a meal, or make
bed or keep the home in order
even il his income is such that she
need not do her own work.
The girl who boasts of not being
able to boil water without burning
it should realize that she is tact
lessly announcing that her back.
ground has not been of the best,
and the novelty of not actually hav-
ing to do these things has gone to
her head.
The truly well brought up woman
of today can cook and keep. house
every bit as well as they did in
QrAn0mOthor'S dav--and ~ Tho truth
be told, in simpler and much more
efficient manner. She is the house
hold executive and manager in the
full sense OF the word. She is no
longer the worker.
Electric Servants.
She has a house full of little cleo
trio servants that cheerfully do all
the hard, dirty, disagreeable tasks
without a murmur, and in much less
time than it would take the maid
working the old-fashioned way.
They are the electric household APP
planes, the vacuum cleaner, the
washing machine, the ironer, and so
on. All get their power for perform
ance from convenient outlets.
1t is these electric appliances
which have really emancipated the
modern wife. They help the woman
in the home to conserve her energy.
They save her time and relieve her
or actual drudgery and allow her to
read, study, go to lectures, concerts
and the theater. All these enable
the wife to keep abreast with her
husband, whose own contact with
