OMESTIC WORRIES BREAK

MORE MEN THAN BUSINESS

Don't Be A Nagger Or Spendthrift- BeA Good Cook And Keep A Comfortable

House It. is a queer thing that the great majority of women look upon mar- riage solely from tlte sentimental point. of view. 'I‘_hey virtually never consider it as a business proposition. or realize ihatii. pays a woman Just as much in dollars and cents to be a good wife as it would to be an ex- pei't stencgrapher or stilcsivoman. Yet it. does. For the contented hus- . band, like the contented cow produces the cream, ' and whether a man is a success or ti failure. whether he climbs to the top of the ladder 01' spends his life sitting on a clerk's stool, depents ' largely upon how his wife does her 10b.’ _If she makes him happy there is nothing within the range of possibilities that he cannot do. If she makes him mi rable. there is very little that he wants to do. fci there is small encouragement for a man to work himself to death for a. ntigzci" or try to build up a home that is nothing but a jail. This tact is so obvious that you would think that a female moron would perceive it. but the ' wife never seems to think that the way he irt ts hcr husband has any bearing on the way he gets along in the world. She Just sets it dcivn to luck and eicniiiitttes herself frotn all re.- ponsibility in the matter.

' - Apparently. for instance, it tiever occius to the average wiie that. if she WilllLS her husbtintl to succeed it pays her to be a good housekeeper. Yet. ii. does, for when a man marries he turns not only his heart out his stomach over to lll5 wife's keeping, and iihc- ther he is going strong at 60, or is ti wreck with dyspepsia at 40 depencls upon hcw site has fed him and taken care of him. "the wife of a fam- ous criminal lawyer once told ine that when her husband was engaged on a big case she cooked cvcrv morscl he ate and sow to it that he ate not-h- ing but the most nourishing and digestible food.

It trays u ivifc to make her husband a home that is a haven of peace and rest to which he can come to build tip his strength for the next day's battle. Domestic worries break more men down than business troubles do. No man goes from a breakfast table spat with his wife with a clear mind and titted to give the best that is in him to his job.

It pays a wife to praise her llllabilnCl and build up his faith in him- self. As long as" fl mans wife believes in him he will strive to jiistfy her expectations, but it takes the lust bit of hope and strength c-tit of him for her to belittle liiin and t-omiitire him invidiously with other men. The wet-blanket wives send many a bullet into a discouraged husband's heart.

THRIFT IS ESSENTIAL

It pays a wife to be thrifty. said wise old Benjamin Franklin long ago. a woman at middle age wears sables and lolls in a limousine because when she was a bride she turned her old coat and hopped the street cars. A woman can throw more out of the back door with a teaspoon than her husband can put in at the front door with a shovel and a man has to be indeed a ﬁnancial genius if he can make any headway against a wife who is extravauant and bitten with the desire to keep up with the Joneses.

ll pays a wife to keep her husband. in love with her and thinking she Is worth working for. Evcrv man must have some incentive to snur him on to achieve things. and he will cheerfully work his flutters t-o the bone tn keep his wife soft. and easy and load her down with trinkets as long as she glories in his triumphs and makes him feel that it is a privilege for him to serve her. But when she is peevish and fretfiil and dissatisﬂwl. and he grows tired of her complaining. he asks himself what's the use. and slacks down.

Furthermore. it. pays a wife to keen her husband in love with hcr be- t-"ttise it automatically eliminates the Other Woman, and that is not nti'y happiness in her heart. but money in her pocket. Fm‘ better is a litis< band's whole income than at little eruditinizlit mid alimony. The mcrnl of all of which is that it pays women ﬁnancially as well as sentimentally to turn out good jobs as wives.
