There never can be but one head, though to ba sure that will be just as apt to be the wife as the husband. It 1s to-day for that matter , There can he little doubt that the economic Independence of woman would be better for the wife individually and the husband individually, but it would not be better for the family which they together constitute, and it $s therefore not likely that It will ever be brought about, The trend of the present age 1s certainly all in that dle rection, and in fostering the Independ- ence of woman It certainly lends addi- tional piquancy to the "duel of sex’ now being fought nightly by the Ber- nard Bhaw play of "You Never Can Tell,” and eternally by men and women everywhere, Bossy Spoils So Good of Her Bridget—T'd like a day off, mum, Missus—All right.
