T IS not to be forgoiten that in any career a woman undertakes, out- side of the strictly feminine sphere, she is handicapped by her sex. She lacks the physical strength and stamina of man. She is more the victim of her emotions than man. The circumstances of life are more against her than they are & st m Therefore, for a woman to succeed she has to have m ty than a man has, more courage and more determination. native al Most girls fail because they never lay any real roundation for succe: They never bother to learn their trade thoroughly because they n't expect to f¢ t many years. Their work is just the bridge of sighs that spans the y om the school room to the altar. "[HE boy, on the other hand, expects whatever line of endeavor he takes up to be his life work. Instead of giving up work when he marries he will need to be more proficient in it. So if there is anything to him he fits himself for his job and the reason he gets better pay than the girl who works beside him is generally because he does better work. OUR CHILDREN I BY ANGELO PATRL | | s 2 Employers take less interest in fitting thelr female employes for bet- ter jobs than they do their male, because they know the chances are that just about the time they get a girl well drilled into her work she will get married and quit.

Any man in these has a good wife and a good job and a good home should be wearing the smile that won't come off instead of coddling a depression and going around looking like a sore-headed bear, As for you, what you need is to cultivate a sense of humor. A grouch to be effective has 1o audience and if you apparently don't see that your husband has anything on his mind he will snap out of it.
