PAY FOR WIVES

BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

You may not always agree with
Mr. Henry Ford, but you must ad
NIT that he has a pretty good set OF
brains, good enough least, to have
made a billion dollars.
Now Mr.. Ford is advocating wages
for wives not a bad idea in this

that grave national problem, the he

And statisticians might be some.
what surprised if they investigated
the number of housewives in this
wealthy country who have not a
penny of spending money all their
own. Notwithstanding the fact that
everybody says they are doing the
best work possible for women.
If being a wife and raising a fam
lily is such a noble calling, and the
men are forever saying SO. why are
they not willing to pay as well for
it as for stenography and book
keeping?
Now, we all understand, of course,
that wheE a woman marries poor
man she generally does so because
she loves him. She is willing to as
sumo the responsibility of marriage
because she is obeying the longing
of every woman's heart for home.
But what we do not always seem
to comprehend is that sometimes

existence of her husband and who
begins life together with so many

There are plenty of mothers not
permitted to write checks upon their
husbands bank account and who

depreciation. Is it any wonder
that, knowing this, girls often hest
