SALARIED WIVES.
In the course of a recent lecture in London, Dr. Marion Phillips said that the idea of fixing by law a proportion of their wages which men should give to their wives sounded very reasonable in theory—but wlint would happen in practice? The married woman worker was an abnormality, just because in some cases no provision was made, for the care of her home and children. If a married woman worked it was generally because her husband's wago was insufficient to lceep tl|e home going, nnd not at all because sho liked it. Dr. Phillips disapproves of a man paying for his sweetheart's afternoon tea or ico creams. Sho thinks it destroys tho idea of real comradeship, and helps to lessen the man's respect for tho woman and her own respect for herself.
