Comparatively few women ever have any money of their own. For some inexplicable reason even the men who are willing to pay heavy bills refuse to give their wives an allowance. They force their wives to come as beggars to them for every cent, yet those men could not bring themselves to go to even the most generous father and ask him for the price of lunch and be forced to explain what they did with the quar- ter he gave them week before last. They do not realize that women feel just the same way about financial depend ence as they feel, and are just as hu- initiated at being mendicants as they would be.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-27

Men talk about Supporting" their wives, and pat themselves on the back for their generosity in feeding and clothing, and giving shelter to the women who labor for more hours a day than they do, at harder job than they have. It isN only after a wife works herself to death making a comfortable home and taking care of her family, when her husband has to hire half a dozen specialists to do his cook ing and sewing and mending and cleaning and shopping and baby tending that he gets an inkling that his wife earned her board and keep.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-27

If man thought of his wife as a human being, he would take the trouble to try to bring some active pleasure and brightness into her life. He would reflect that when he has two days together at home the monotony of it nearly drives him crazy, and the noise and con fusion of the children's quarrels and playing sets his nerves on edge until he gets as jumpy as a cat. This would lead him to surmise that perhaps his wife did not find the domestic grind a picnic, and got up on her chiIdren's society and needed a little diversion to bright en her up.

Reflections of Dorothy Die

Your Wite, Mr. Man, Doesn't Like Endless Work Without Praise, Boredom Of Four Walls AU Day Or Finaracial Dependence Any More Tham You Would Remember That If You'd Be Happy
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-27

It is because man never
 thinks of his wife as human be-
 ing that makes him take every
 thing she does, and is, for granted.
 He knows that it would take the heart out of him and kill his ambition, if no one ever gave him the glad hand, if he never attained any success, if no one ever rewarded any especially bril- liant piece of work by a word of praise.

lives to make the world safe and to
end war. At the request of the stu
dent body all classes were held ac-
cording to the regular schedule. At
ter school the football manager in
his popular way. made a jolly oc-
casion of gathering in the toys that
the Quaker lads have romped to so
many victories in. Before the last
suit was in. enthusiasm was running
high for the forth coming inter-class
kasket ball tournament. Meanwhile
the girls were gathering armfuls of
pine and scarlet berries and making
great preparations in the dining
room. The American flag across one
end of the big room, an eight foot

table, combined to make the room
truly festive. The guests of honor at
dinner were DIR. and Mrs. George \.

heartily into the spirit of gaiety as
they always do when they are at Oak
