T is quite ev ] that many wives ° Writes that her husband ry night for his supper, diately after, remains or eleven. He never she says, and, » beautiful ehtldren, res, she is at times very un- Thappy | Unquestionad other u all these women and wives are greatly ta nly question for them to consider ts whether or not their hus- j bonds are altogether to blame for what jthey term their “slavery.” No man is {going to place a woman on a throne who shows the least willingness to be a footstool. Each individual has to main- tain his or her rights in the realm of emotion as well as in the more prac- itleal world of affairs. Many wives begin married lite by be. tng good-natured about everything, which ts bad, and end It by being good- natured about nothing, which is worse. A more even distribution of tolerance and amiability would perhaps work bet- ter for both husband and wife. ‘The husband who does as he pleases without regard to his wife's feelings, and who, in fact, merely boards with her, should be treated like @ machine |tor making the family living, His home should be well kept and his meals well - |prepared. For these things are part of |the wife's duty and essential to the well- |being of the machine. But she should | take for herself « personal Iiberty equal to his own, She should not go out mere- ly to annoy him. If she cares to remain at home and read and improve herself |so that she will be able to help in the | education of her children, she should do so without regard to bis approval or jdispleasure. But If she wants to go te the theatre or to visit some womas friend, she should not refrain from de ing 80 on his account. “Peace at any price,” ts the motto of |too many wives In the first year of mar- ‘rage, and if It 1s carried out it means \for her the rest of her life uneomdi- |tlonal surrender without even the honors of war. ‘ A Down-and-QOut er’s Bit of Luck } By Lindsay Denison B HERE was a big old man with eyes like a Newfoundland dog and close | ) clipped hair, He came up to me, as everybody who knew the sight of another man's face came up to everybody—between train times, writes Lindsay Denison, in the American Magazine, describing the opening of the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, where 11,000 people drew lots for 6,000 farms of 160 acres each, offered free by the Government, “Drawn I ain't neither, His hand was shaking pitifully. trembled. yet, brother?’ he asked.
