Fer some time, now, they've been pro- motin' the acceptance o' their interference in a good many things. The favorite expression, in a gittin' their own way, is " Discrimination." That ain't the truth, and if we don't watch out, it'll be a man's world, in­ stead o* the way it's been fer generations, wi' women havin' the pertection o' the male, as the bread-winner and the main hub o' the family. It used t' be a purtv good life fer most women. O' course, in the poorer classes it wasn't so goodj^ut mostly, women had a high/plStee in society. An old toast ^oes like this, "Here's to woman, man's equal; once his superior." No truer words wuz ever spoken. Men would turn the world over for his spec­ ial woman. Nowadays, he dia­ pers the babies, baby-sits while Mom is out earnin' the moon­ lighter's pay, t' pervide the things to keep her man busy a keepin' them in runnin' con­ dition, sc^s she doesn't hev to work so hard, a keepin' the house clean, doin' the.washin', and t' pay the high prices fer food already, prepared, 'nd regdy t' eat, sc^s she don't hev f cook the meals. What meals she does cook, mostly, are half done before she gits the materials. The beans is strung, the potatoes pared, the corn is even husked. Cakes, 'n everthin' from soup t' nuts kin sleeves of English net and val lace, with watteau train. Her petal headpiece edged in seed pearls held in place a shoulder length veil. Miss Barbara Olson of Ar­ lington Heights attended her friend as maid of honor and Miss Tgrri Benson of McHenry, sis­ ter of the bride, lighted the candles. Miss 01 son wore a mint green silk worsted, long sleeved dress, while Miss Benson was in a sun yellow pique A-line dress. Jim Laursenof McHenry ser­ ved as best man and Bill Sul­ livan, also of McHenry, was usher. Mrs. Benson selected a lem­ on-colored crepe dress with contrasting accessories and a white and yellow carnation cor­ sage. Mrs. Mereness wore a poudre blue knit dress with similar corsage. Following a reception(ior 100 friends and relative®^ the Knights of Columbus ni#," the couple left on a short trip to Chicago.

Little boys don't want t' do a good job o' work'/ sizable fer their age, and expect t' be paid the same as men. It's a purty sorry picture, and it ain't a gittin' better. The great need is fer the families t' hev a good, hard- workin' woman t' mother the kiddies, teachin' them good habits and a love fer a good job, well done. Seems ter me thet things better change pretty quick, 'r there won't be any chance t' correct the mistakes made in the last few years. I never saw such an attitude to­ ward things, in general, as I see, today, in the younguns. Play seems ter be the main interest, and it's the same wi' many o' the parents, too. Make the money t' pervide the ma­ terial things in life, seems t' be the motto. Seems ther's more t' life than that, t' this old granny. Grandma Radtke.
