They make no effort to be helpful
or cheerful in mood. They will
spend mournful hours over the con.
struction Of an ice-box cake or the
knitting Of a baby blanket, and then
produce these things with a subdued
gloom that robs them of all charm.
Any woman with a home, a good
husband, three fine children, an in
come that would be wealth in nine
tenths Of the countries Of the globe,
who talks of her family as poor

their fur coats, is, to begin with, a
stupid woman. She lives in a mar

She has built a jail for her soul,
and only she can unlock it and let
the soul fly free.
There may be a physical base for
this unnecessary guinness, but very
likely there isn't. 1t is really a bad
habit, a custom into which some
women fall, of signing and mourn
ing, growing fearful over their own
depressed thoughts, sinking into
long silences, making no effort to
contribute their share to the fam

beds, even hang fresh curtains and
put flowers about, but they do it
