DOMESTICATED HUSBANDS
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

move is on foot to induce husbands to share the
homework and the of the children so that wives
may have opportunities develop their other talents
Most married women will view this obviously. 1t
all depends the kind of husband you've got
whether you want him hopping the kitchen and cook
ing the chops.
Most wives will hardly be In favor Of anything so
drastic destructive this. We do care to have
the men take any of the humliating tasks of the
faninine slavey. Never would ask them to wipe
the dishes sort the laundry rock the baby to
sleep Nay, we shall not go far to request
them to their buttons and sort their own
socks.
Our wants simple than that But one
slight favor married asking of our hus
bands small kindness which would make our lives
easier and our dispositions sweeter. And Bonded
knees beg this boon.
We do want husbands to pick up after them
selves at home What a relief it would be If every
in the land would put his shaving things away
and wipe out the bath tub after his morning ablu
tons What pleasant thing in life would become if
husbands would only take pains to empty their cigar
ashes and pick up the newspapers after they have
finished with them. How wonderful would be a world
where each would hang up his pajamas
and his soiled shirt into the laundry
This simple thing, but enormous is it
In reality that if it complied WITH overworked
wives would have time to get out and earn money to
pay off the mortgage
Few women, believe, who know anything about
at all want things upset that the husbands will
be making the beds and busting the furniture
Our lives are hard enough now, and If the men
take to getting under feet and trying do house
work. shall long to lie down and depart this
For any spouse who is good at domestic service is
generally perfect zany when it to anything
else and sefrespecting would live with him
All the intelligent husbands knew were like
bulls in china shops when they happened into the
kitchen.

present on both sides to pick the
situation to pieces.
Marjorie Ferrar made one mistake.
She did not realize that she was
mentally honest. She was accused or
rather was forced to prove or dis
approve the statement that she
didn't have a moral about her.
Marjorie was both honest and
rapid, this she realized when counsel
asked her: do 1 understand you to
imply that in your view 1t is moral
for women to have liaisons before
marriage and for men and women to
have them after?"
Now, please remember that Mar
jorie was honest. Her first answer
was, II think It s current morality"
Then counsel fired this at her. do
you say it's all right?"

"On what?"
"On-on Circumstances, environment,
temperament; all sorts of things"

clined to answer the question.

case before other witnesses became
mixed up in the "cat fight"
OF course, the F'leur won a vic
tory, that is in the language of the
courts.
But was she the real victor?
Society in the days and weeks
that followed the trial seem to de-
eide that Fleur was a "snob" and
even a little old.fashioned.
And so Fleur left London to do
a tour Of the world. On leaving
she hoped that society would for
get. And society probably hoped that
Fleur would change.
And what about Marjorie, who
lived dangerously"
In the first place, she was too hon.
est to lie to the man of social and
political power to whom she was to
be married. She admitted to him
that she had had a "liaison."
And so she returns to her set
which lives dangerously"
But Fleur learned that people re-
sent moral superiority"
And as l write this, 1.-THE Silver
Spoon" is one Of the best sellers.
And it will be for many months.

novel of the day.

A Dangerous Step

I have said that Gales was taking
a grave If not a dangerous course,
but 1 said II as an observer, not as
p matter Of prejudice.
To my mind it is a difficult, IL not
an impossible, task TO alter the re-
ligious customs and institutions Of
people like the Mexican so violently
and abruptly as the present DEGREES
imply.

an atheistic revolution. was quick
to restore her old-time religion to
France just as soon as he gained

Society of the high order in Lon
don produces a certain brand Of
cats"
The fight starts when an aristo-
cratic women mixes with a woman
Of no definite social position, but so
powerful that she commands atten.
ton because of her dangerous pro-
gram of living.
l had that impression as I read
page after page Of John Gals
worthys new novel. THE Silver
Spoon" published by Charles Serb
ner's Sons. 1t is priced at 81. OBJ
tanned my copy for review from the
book shop Of L. S. Ayres & Co. of
this city.
The aristocrats are represented by
F7eur Forsyte. who was born with
the silver spoon in her mouth. She
had a reputation which was pro-
tected by high social position. But
she turned out to be a cat" Just
the same.
The free livers and rapid thinkers
are represented by Marjorie Ferrar,
one Of the most modern of moderns,
who became a certain brand Of
"cat."
The "cat fight" is staged In the
halls of Justice in London. Because
Ferrar needed money more than she
did good name, she brought libel
proceedings against Flleur Forsyte.
1t seems that Ferrar saw a chance
to get heavy damages from F'leur
and her rich relatives by appearing
to resent alleged written statements
Of Fleur to the effect that Marjorie
Ferrar hadn't a moral in her"
To test the moral strength of the
two women characters of his latest
novel; Galsworthy stages a court
room scene which gives his latest
literary creation a most challenging
position in modern literature.
1t seems to me that 1.-The Silver
Spoon" will command and demand
attention because of this one great
scene. Everything. of course, leads
up to the "cat fight"
Where 1t Started
The fight really started in Fleur's
own drawing room when Fleur's
father overheard Marjorie Ferrar
utter the words that Fleur was a
little snob" and kindred relatives
to that noun.
OF course Marjorie made a grand
exit from the drawing room and
then taking up her pen she wrote
some nasty remarks in a London
paper which society reads and re-
reads.
Society became divided upon the
merits of the "cat fight" and interest
centered upon the events in the
court room. The fact is that 1t
should never have been aired in
court, because even the mightiest
of persons can not allow the airing
Of soiled and dirty linen in public.
With fine literary strokes and
with a fine appreciation of dramatic
climaxes, Galsworthy parades his
two women of different social groups.
but yet touching each other, into
the open.

Don't take appetizers to give you pep; eat plenty
