You say your wife “shall never wor ' if you can help it.” That sounds quite heroic and looks very well on paper. but it’s ridiculous if you don't mean it and a serious mistake if you do. it isn't original with you. I have heard it a great many times in my life. Some of the men who said it did their best to live up to it. and some of them suc- ceeded, to the sorrow of their wives. but there were several who afterward made their wives work like slaves and occasionally beat them. Between the pampered and miserable doll and the persecuted and equally miserable house- ‘ hold slave there is a happy medium. and it isn’t hard to find it. 031 4/299 - 3;. ,.

Work or some description is as necessary to our mental as food to our physical well being. We somehow cherish the delusion that well financed idleness is the acme of earthly bliss. and yet when we get a two weeks’ vacation. no matter how well filled our pockets. we begin to feel weary of it at the end of the first week and are impatient to get In Spite of the More or Less Pope uh: Beiief That Married Women Woe-k Too Hard. the Fact Remains 3-5.: There is No Real Happiaus Without Occupation.

But Not Drudgery. Among my acquaintances is a young man who has your-sides. very deem." impressed. When he was married. three or four years ago, he took his beautiful wife to a boarding house and has kept her there ever since. She pleaded for a home, but he would not have her soil her hands. The inactiv- ity of a boarding house was to her unbearable. She has a very fine voice and rare dramatic talent. He reluc- tantly consented to allow her to give music lessons. Now her income is lar- ger than his own a brilliant future is open to her, and yet home. just a lit- tle flat where she could do all self. where he just had to do SM has a very fine something. but voice. she would infinitely prefer the labors of a home, with its cares and its joys. to the triumphs of her profession. The home is the best place for the development and exercise of a wom- an’s talents for numerous reasons. most of which are entirely obvious. Wheth- er it is an original gift to the sex or the result of the training of thousands of years is immaterial. The fact re- mains that she shines with greatest brilliancy in the domestic atmosphere. and here she should be allowed to spar- kle unshadowed. The majority of wo- en realize their duties and responsibil- ities and. desire to fulfill them. They know that they can best be fulfilled in the home. and if let alone they will de- rive the greatest amount of satisfac- tion and contentment from the per- formance of the tasks which home and tion form: servic service brings to them. } I don’t believe that a woman should be a druda'e. 1 don‘t believe that she i should be required or allowed to do ‘ more than she wants to do. When her work ceases to be a pleasure. then it has passed the limit of eXpediency and defeats its most important object. Where the line should be drawn de. pends entirely upon her temperament and her physical strength. Some wo- men can do joyfully and with benefit to themselves an amount of labor that would destroy others. and there are some women. like some men. whose excess energy carries them far beyond their physical powers. Too much work is as bad as idleness. There is a golden mean. and instead of trying to prevent Anna May from doing any work at all you should exercise your authority or your influence. whichever you please to call it. to A keep her from - 1 doing too much.

They are a good deal like us men in that respect. Most of us believe in temperance when it comes to labor. and some of us are total abstainers. able amount of good. honest work ev- ery day. and fortunately the ones of either sex who are content to do noth- ing are comparatively few. ldleneis a Menace. Your wife must have something to do. and your silly pride should not stand in the way of the doing. Idle- ness provides more cases for the di- vorce courts than any other single agency. It doesn’t usually appear in I the evidence under that name. but it’s l responsible just the same. Most fre- 1 queutly it is disguised as incompatl- ‘ bility of temperament, which means that Mrs. Jones has sat in an easy chair and lolled away her happiness. Discontent invariably accompanies in- action. and in its train are the other mental and physical ills which make life unbearable to herself and bring misery to her mate. Yet if that same woman were given something to do. something that she felt compelled to do. either by duty or from the sheer love of it. the mere occupation would remove the shadows from her mind, ; bring the blood coursing through her veins. redden her cheeks and brighten her eyes. substitute a smile for a frown and give that zest to life and love which is the mainspring of happiness. where he she would [1 in all to other. She had to do ever she wants to do within the bounds of her capacity. If she takes pleasure in housework. don’t hinder her. There is nothing degrading about it. On the contrary. there is no more honorable employment tor-a wife. and there is none by which she can add so much to the peace and contentment of the homo and to the happiness of her husband. her children and herself.

It is true that housework has its cares, its myri. 21:1 annoyances, that often bring tears of vexation or discouragement. but no method of life has been yet discovered that does not have a few kinks in it, and there never will be. It would be a doggoned monotonous existence any- how. It’s the kinks in life that make existence really worth while. and they are as necessary to the making of :1 woman’s character as of a man’s, pro- vided, of course, there are not too many of them. When you start out for a drive you don’t care for a straight road unless your only object is the exhilaration of motion. If you want to get the greatest possible enjoyment, you choose a winding road. where curves bring new vistas into View at every turn. and so in life.

As I was saying. the housewife has her troubles, great bunches of ’em, but the woman who pounds a typewriter or who stands up behind a counter and murmurs “Cash!” can never know the joys that mingle with and overlap the cares of the wife who looks after her own household. Why, my boy, there never was a happier wo- man than your mother, and she has worked, worked h a r d, all her married life, not because she had to, for I’ve a l w a y 5 made enough to take care of her ' without it. but because she wanted to, 1 because she would have been unhappy { otherwise and I dare vou to sav that 1 your Anna May is an1 better than my 1 111feâ€"I just dare 1oul \‘o.
