DON’T ta my advice,” Miss Grey: Please let me add a word to the discussion about a couple getting ahead if the wife doesn’t work. I have two friends who married and live in this city. One of them always worked and she is still working. Her husband is a good fellow, and he seems to want her to stop working, but they never appear to get to the point where he thinks he can do without her extra money. So they keep right on, both of them. My friend looks tired, and tho she dresses much better than my other friend, she does not have that same appeal, because she is always played out at the end of the day. B , She never has time to be even pleasant with her f Her home life is so short she is on the dead run all the time to catch up with what ought to have been done each day. My other friend made up her mind when she was married she was going to take a rest. She told her husband so. She laughs now about the rest she was going to take. She did t a rest from going to town every day, but she says she has never worked so hard in her life as since he stayed home. Still, she looks fine and is happy and is much better poised than my other friend.
