My sympathy has been pretty c ly divided between the man and the woman, who are in very moderate circumsta and have the problem of sup-| porting a family to solve. tecently there came to my attention a home in which the wife and mother announced her intention of working out by the day. She talked it over with me and I learned, for the| first time, the struggle she had been thru to try*to make a ager wage meet the growing demands of a growing | family. “I can’t stand {t any longer,” she told me, in tears. ‘My husband hates the idea of my going to work, and has been fighting it. But what else can we do? Either I do that or wear out my nerves trying to do the impossible with the money available. I'd rather wear out than worry cut.” Miss Grey, this woman’s confession made me understand why so many women go into the work world, They may say they enjoy the change from housework, and are tired of the drudgery of home. But I have a sneaking notion it is merely that they are sick of wearing last year’s hat and last year's dress, made over. ‘ They are “fed up” on the everlastingly wearisome job of making a dollar go where $1.50 or $2 is needed, MAY HAVE HIT NAIL Probably this reader has hit the nail on the head many cases.
