How they do love to boss and

Maybe 1t would be q good
thing if a few more of them did

body to boss-downtown.
! know a man who bosses his
wife, he won't let her 90 home

her place is in his home, not in
theirs. He won't let her ask
people to their house-he does
not like company. 80 she mustn't
have any.
He won't let her 20 to a con-
cert or a lecture or a matinee
not without him. She's wasting
time that she ought to put in
thinking Of him, or planning his
meals or looking over his clothes,
or helping him plan some detail
of his business.
He owns that woman-body
and soul-or he thinks he dees.
I'm afraid he's mistaken. That
woman really loved him when
she married him and now she's
beginning to hate him. She tells
him little fbs and makes up lit
tie stories. She says she was
downtown when she wasn't and
declares she was at home when
she was at the market and in
every way she's learning to keep
the real interest of her life en-
tirely away from him
