And when I talked with Judge Geismar I found him ready to defend his position with logic, sincerity na emphasis, ' “A wife ought to be mistress of her home,” he declared, “You can put me down aying that with all the earne: my power. When the hard work and respon- sibility involved in the regulation hold affaires reste upon an, authority should also be hers. My wife is the boss in my house. “In this particular case of the Har- woods, the husband has been out of work for a long time.
