Show We, the Women Working ife Shouldn't FaU In Duty to Spouse She has to watch that she doesn't become too absorbed in her own work to keep up with the details of his. Or too Intsrestsd. when they are out socially, in putting herself across to boost him. Somehow shs must ss that his clothes are as well maintained as those of the man whose wife hasn't anything to do but sew on buttons. Ths great danger the Working wife faces is that she can always excuse her neglect of her husband with, "but I just can't do everying." By RUTH MIIXETT. The wife who earns a pay check should watch out that she doesn't slip up on some of ths tricks that home women uss to plesss. Even if It does make her get up 15 minutes earlier, shs ought to see that breakfast is a meal and not a anatch-and-run affair. If she leaves after her husband shs ought to go to ths front door with him for a good-by kiss. That is much more feminine than staying stay-ing at the table or shouting good-by good-by to him while shs puts on her "face." If It Is possible, she ought to beat him home, that may mean marketing market-ing by telephone, and act as pleased to ses him as does ths wife "who has been home alone all day. Maybe her day want all wrong but If shs Is smart shs will keep It to herself. At least until after she has shown some Interest in his affairs. If hs suggests a show, she ought to. menage some enthusiasm. It's worse for her to say wearily, "I'd just as soon go If you want to," than to say flatly that she's too tired. She managed to do everything she bad to do at ths office, and if she is to make a go of her marriage shs can't stop exerting herself the minute she gets home. |
