Copyright. 1912, by the Press Publishing Co. (The New York World.) —_— BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. “A wife's job is to be @ good companion to her husband and a good ter stearmehips planned | mother to her children.” So runs the definition sent to me by a young woman reader of The Evening World, it unique, woman from such companionship in sordid living. It is her job to be @ 008 companion only in the sense that she is a companion in goodness. “Down to Gehenna or up to the Throne,’ He travels the fastest who travels alone.” It 1s no wife's job to impede a man's Progress on t! turn him from his purpose if she can. But whatever his direction she owes it to herself and to her children, {f *he had them, to keep on her own journey, to the Throne or whatever symbolizes to her the goal of high human ideals. Happily the average wife never reaches this tragic crossroad »of mar- ried life, She has no big problems to solve. Only a thousand little ones that recur wearyingly from day to day. ‘The partioular problém that com- fronts the average wife in New ‘York to-day is what may be called the high cost of bluffing, of trying to live om $1,500 or $3,000 a year as well and as spectacularly as if re were @ family income of $15,000 or $20,000. The temptation to this form of display is almost ir- r@sistible in Wew York, particularly fm respect to feminine clothes. Man limited for a century or more to sober blacks and browns and grays and to undeviating uniformity of de- align cannot understand the passion that practically all women have for soft eilken apparel, A poor woman living in the country or in a suburb where she 1s not constantly exposed to the temp-/ tation of shop windows has little trouole | in resisting the siren voices of luxury. Like Ulysses, she has stopped her ears with wool—half wool, any way. But} any wife who lives in New York and resists resolutely and all the time the purchase of clothes she cannot afford; fs either @ heroine or @ philosop! | THE NEW YORK WIFE'S JOB BIG ONE. To be the successful life companion of | a poor man in New York requires both | heroism and philosophy—heroism to do) without; philosophy to realize how little the things one deliberately miszes sub- tract from happiness. ‘There are lots of us here in New ‘York who pay $20 for hats when we oan’t afford to give more than $10 or $5. And everything and every one here seem in conspiracy to make our extravagance « permanent folly. m even the $10 or $19 gir] who waits on us views our modest purchase with contemptuous pity. ‘A tew years ago I held the eatirely er- roneous belief, shared by many women in New York, that it is imposalbie to buy @ hat of worth and distinction for less than $20, So when I went to @ well Imown department store and a young woman whom I had never seen before showed me various leaning towers of fe: thers and ribbon priced at anywhere from $35 to $75, I explained meekly that $20 was my limit, “On,” she exclaimed, “you won't find any hat at that price in our regular millinery department. But come, dearie (slipping a consolatory arm about my waist), 2'll take you over to the cheap hat department.” Now It 1s possible to buy charming hats in New York for $7, % and $10. It is A Next Sunday’s World DON’T MISS THIS’. GREAT ARTICLE! ee Possible to make charming hate yourself @on't pay ridiculous prices / A brief phrase and a good one 80 far as it goes. For every wife has or should have the more general task of being good companion to hu- manity, a good mother to all the children in the world. To be a companion to @ good man is undoubtedly a wife's job, but there are limits which companion- ship may not pi I know of a young woman married to a reformed drunkard, who was told by him two years after the ceremony that the old longing had become Irresistible and that he must yield to it. “Very well, if you go on a spree I will go with you,” said the young woman. And the husband told proudly how his wife had accompanied him from res- and though she did not take too much herself, had sat beside him till he had drunk himself into a stupor and then took him home and put him to bed. Such was one man’s ideal of the wife who is a good companion. It is fortunately not general, but neither !s|for $4. The fates preserve any| Patronage and undesired embraces. And incidentally you escape GOOD THINGS FOR A POOR MAN’S WIFE TO KNOW. Also, if you know how to make your own clothes you can achieve very beau- tiful effects for very little money. These are things that it is part of the job of every poor man's wife to know if she wishes to be anything but @ more or millstone. of the spinning wheel are writes a young woman read But there a: past," So they are—for women. still a good many men who spin their lives away in the useless adornment for useless women.

ING FOR WIFEHOOD., Dear Madam: It is seldom the Working girl's cnoice to leave her home and go out In the business worl, She seeks employment be- cause it is necessary. She must earn her own living, and very often pro- vide for others, When there is a family of girls they should help their father instead of growing up in idle- ness, A correspondent asks if those young women wood wives? I say yes, they do—the best, Going out in the world builds them a stronger character than if they were at home. ‘The girl is continually sacrificing her will to the will of oth- ers, Then business demands that she possess a gracious manner and be cordial at all times. She learns to be acourate, punctual and tactful. She learns lessons of economy when she pays her board, laundry, lunches, cartare and dresses herself, on th average salary of $7 a week. There are many cooking ciasses in the city. Where is there one that is not crowd- ed? After working hard all day we wonder how girls have the energy to spend their evenings learning to cook, Of course they want some pleasure a8 well, Deliver me from the com- panionship of a woman who spends the major part of her time in the kitchen, The days of spinning wheels have passed. Now, with the many demands upon our time, we do well it we keep our clothes mended and in order, ‘When the time comes for the young busines woman to help another make a home she will have brains enough to do it. ‘The job of a wife is to be a good companion to her husband and @ good mother to her children. i HBLEN H. ——a ee Midshipman Dlundy Reduced, ANNAPOLIS, Dec, 6. — Midshipman William H, P.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6.—An entirely sucosssful operation for the removal of & supposed permanent scar on the face has been performed at the Woman's Hospital here upon Hammond Smith, « Dickinson College freshman who was branded last July by hazers. The sophomores who tormented him wrote “Fresh” acrom his forehead with lunar caustic. When the burat letters healed they seemed forever seared into’ hi skin. His paremte determined that should not go through life with them and consulted many qpecialiste, The means Gnally employed at the hospital was what the surgeons called electrical dessication. An electrical nee- dle attached to a high frequency coll was used to kiN off the layer of skin in which the offending letters were burned and then {0 stimulate the growth of lower layers of skin to replace those which were peeled off. Powerful violet raye of a stattc machine were used for the etimulation of the new underskin.
