'If these women would be honest
with themselves, they would know
that they are failures as wives.
They would know that it is just as
much a wife's business to get up
and prepare her husband nice,

cheerful and contended off to work
as it is his business to go to work
day after day. She knows that it is
just as much her duty to keep a
clean, orderly house and give her

Anyway, what right has a woman
u expect to quit working when she
gets married? Why should she consider
that marriage entities her to spend the
balance of her life in loafing? If man
has one spark of manhood in him he
girds up his loins and pitches into his
work with redoubled energy when he
gets married. He feels that he has given
hostages to fortune, and he sets about
the business of life in earnest for the
first time. You would think that WON

it, but lot of them don't. They appear
to think that just because they can't
lose the wife job they need make no
effort to turn out good work or give
Furthermore, why should not a
woman make as much effort to get
along with her husband as she did with
her employer? If women used a humid

control in domestic life as they do in
their business lives, there would be
mighty few few divorces.
