I think he should,” said Mrs. B, a neighbor. Ah, thus does Mrs. B put a finger on the sore spot in the discussion of Who's Who in the house- J hold. Is your hus- band a kitchen maid? Does he \ want to be? Or do you force him to it? Here‘ opens the discussion of what is the husband's share in “keeping the home fires vurning.” Why should the wife and housekeeper expect John, tired with his day's work at the office, squeezed ond jammed for an hour in a sub- way and train, to take uo the duties ‘a kitchen maid in the evening? Mrs. B says he ought to, and so do 4 number of Mrs. C, D, B and F. ‘hey claim that they have been “stuck im the house all day” or “haven't had a minute to themselves,” bnd “that he must do his share.” Well, at the risk of offending all jese good ladies, I'l come out flat hnd say no housekeeper or wife has right to expect her husband to be- ome @ kitchen maid unless. she is }qually willing to become @ stenogra- \her, or @ file clerk, or in some other iu to help downtoten in the evening ” his office. |'Keeping the home fires burning” jl managing the house is her job. ining the Golden Fleece of Suc- «js away from the Dragon of Busi- 1¥8 Competition is his job, and It is smighty hard job, too! 1 don't believe that the average nan employed in the usual grind- ng business routine and giving he best of energy or ideas to jis work can possibly come home nd be a kitchen maid or a chore ey without his business position his health suffering. 1 think hat the T. B. M. has a right to n evening of quiet or leisure vithout being called upon to do a alf day's carpentering, or the vork of a nursemaid, or of a dish- vashing machine on top of eight ours of commercial responsibility. > course, I know Mrs. B.'s argu- wnt—that she is ‘‘all tired out," ete., 4 that it is friend husband's duty to \p her in the evening. But I know it Mrs, B, can find some leisure ae If she plans her housework day a schedule basis; while Mr. B. has chance for a ‘‘nap’’ or an after- on tea or movie. | think the whole situation of Mrs. jasking her husband to become a wd in the evening is either the re- st of welfishness or an acknowledg- mt that she is a poor manager at ir Job of running a household, Run- ng the house is her job; she should ym and arrange for it so that it will it be @ drain on her husband who js @ full time job of his own in vesting a living from the highly qmpetitive business world. {m the modern step-saving home; id with the use of certain modern bor savers, there is no reason for rs. B.'s being ‘‘all tired out.” Even «household of four or five persons \yme free day leisure, but Mr. B. can Ait leisure only in the evening. It is every common mistake on the part © many women to suppose that men ! business always have an * or that housekeeping is more ry’? than office work or busi- vss. I'd like to put a good many women I know right at their hus- and's desks—with appointments to wake, phones to interrupt, letters to ) Famous Women | FLORINE. ILORINE was the daughter F of the Duke of Burgundy and was betrothed to Suenon, King of Denmark. She accompanied this prince to the first crusade in the year 1097. She was to have ma "ried Suenon immediately aft the conquest of Jerusalem, Before reaching Jerusalem, however, a fierce battle took Place in which Sucnon and his bride were killed, with all their | companions in arms, not one iy the slain. died in being left to bury Florine and Suenon each other's arms.

But I have a feeling that many husbands might be spending their eveninge more profitably both for themselves and for their family’s future success, than in always sifting the ashes or helping clear away the table. After a hard day’s work Mr. B. should have some recreation, some exercise or amusement—or he should be studying and devoting his leisure to advancing his profession or work, I once knew the very finest kind of man, Mr. M. With just a little more training in his particular line he could have had a much wider field for advancement. He was constantly hoping to te able to take this or that course and qualify himself for u higher position, But I remember how always of an evening he slipped off his coat and his collar, fated into the kitchen and started on the backwash of dishes and unfinished housekeep- ing of the day, When he was trough it was quite late—too late for study. Perhaps Mrs. M. never real- ized it, bur I am quite sure that one reason why Mr. M. never got the fine position he hoped was because his leisure was occupied as a kitchen maid Managing the home is job, M Housekeeper.

Somebody always sews on his but- tons and darns his socks—— His mother, his wife, his sister— or a tame laundry, (Has there ever been a laundry advertising that it makes a specialty of replacing buttons on the business WOMAN'S shirtwaists?) Somebody presses his suits, + Somebody packs ‘em away with mothballs, Somebody hangs up his bath towel, his bathrobe, his pajamas, his household—— Or, if nobody does—they stay slackly, shiftlessly, shamelessly on the FLOOR where he drops 'em, And his conscience is completely untroubled— He has no NEATNESS complex!
