The real problem Involved In the ques
tion of whether a wife should earn money
nuUlde of the home or not is the effect
that It has on her husband.
If a man la poor.
and the wife has the
ability to make
money It would seem
nothing hut reason
able that she should
do so, and thus add
to the family com
fort and prosperity.
If a woman has
fitted herself to fol
low gome trade or
Profession whereby
she can earn a pood
salary It seems noth
ing more than Just
for her to eontln'ie
to follow It instead
of being put to doing
the work of a
maid for whl
ha neither training
nor aptitude.
If a woman elect to follow after mar
riage gome work outside of the home is
emg nothing but fair that she should
lay her own way. as she gives to her
husband none of the labor that a wife
ordinarily performs In the home.
1'ufler present economic and social con
1itlnng there are a thousand good and
valid reasons why the woman who has
followed a gainful occupation before mar
riage should continue to follow It after
marriage, If he marries a man who Is
poor and struggling.
But there Is one tragic objection to it
and that Is that It almost Invariably
ruins the man. Also In some way that Is
utterly beyond feminine comprehension it
seems to kill a man's love for his wife.
I leave It to psychologists to explain
this phenomenon of the mascullng tem
perament. I can't, but t merely state it
as a fact that the more a woman tries to
help her husband, and the harder ahe
laves for him, the less he cares for her.
and the legs consideration she shows her.
If you are inclined to dispute this
proposition remember the long line of
dressmakers and hoarding houne keepers,
and every other class of money earning
women you have ever known and try to
recall one who had a husbnnd that was
ven ordinarily decent and kind to her.
On the other hand the more no ac
count, and demanding, and exacting a
wife la, the more her husband cherishes
her and Indulges her. The Ideal wife
from a man's point of view appears to
re a mlUatone about his neck instead of
a ladder by which to climb.
Perhaps the woman who can earn as
good salary as her husband, and who Is
perfectly capable of taking care, of her.
self. lacks something- of the clinging vine
that a man associates with femininity,
and so she does not make as strong an
appeal to his affection.
Perhaps her vsry ability and com
petence to stand alone arouse In him

tagonism. At any rate It doeen't endear

grateful to her for helping to support the I
family she will find herself very much I
disappointed. It never works out that I
n)'. I
Another unpleasant effect of the wags i
earning wifo on her husband Is that she '
kills In him all sense of responsibility for j
a family. The wife who can support her- i
self almost Invariably has to do It and i
th rhlMrn inta thm harffaln whit tha '
man spends his wasei on himself.
This Is a common phase of human na
ture. We are all Inclined to sit back and
let others bear the heat and burden of
the day If they are willing and able to
do it. The man who Is married to a
helpless woman knows that he has got
to get out and hustle to keep bread In
the mouths of his family, and he does It.
but if he knows that his wife will go
forth and earn the family living, he la
mighty upt to spend his money In the
corner saloon. The statistics of mill
towns, where the women work In fac
tories, show the men to be the most
worthless of the world.
The evil goes even farther, and the man
whose wife la a capable money earner,
oftener than not becomes a worthless
loafer. The danger of pauperizing a hus
band Is really the greatest one that the
business or professional woman faces.
She don't want to give up her work, and
yet ahe does not want to see her hus
band become a contemptible male para
site. For If a man lacks energy and ambi
tion, or Is fond of his ease, he Is almost
certain to drift into depending on his
wife, and letting her support him if ahe
is a money earner. The wife keeps the
pot boiling, there's a comfortable place
to stey, and plenty of good food, whether I
he works or not. so he gradually quits j
working, whereas if he would either have
hAd to labor or starve, he wnulri hav I
worked.
The problem of the wage-earning wife
is enc that has coma to stay. Women
must oil her help earn the family living
or else be old maids, because the aver
age man does not earn enough under
present financial conditions to support
u family In comfort. Also the millions
of girls who have been trained to gain
ful occupations are not willing to give
up their good Jobs and the work they like,
to go Into a poor man's kitchen when
they marry. These conditions necessi
tate a new adjustment in the whole atti
tude of men toward the wage-earning
wife, and so the solution of the problem
is up to the husband.
The trouble with the whole matter Is
that while we have a new woman, man
ia still the same old Adam. He must be
made to see that the future marriage
must be a financial parterehlp as well as
a union of hearts, that it is no more
affront to his dignity for his wife to help
lilm by miking money than It Is for her
to cook his dinner, and that the fact
that she Is willing' to go out Into , the
world to work for their mutual good
should be an Inspiration for his redoubled
effort, Instead of an Invitation to sit
down and smoke while she does the work
of bcth,
