The Domestic Boston Husband

■♦ A new phase in ibe woman cose is thus delineated — if a report in one of our daily papers c*n be relied upon — alleged to have come from tbe individual most directly interested : " I am a milliner, and I have made between $1,600 and $2,500 a year in mv business for some time past. I married four years ago. My husband is kind and go«d looking 1 , but he never learned any trade, had no profession, and could not average $500 a year. I lored him, however, but I saw it would not do to depend on him, sr> I kept on with my business. After a time i think he got a Jitt)e hzy, and as we were both away during: the day, we could not keep house, and got sick of boarding. Finally, I proposed that he should keep house, ami I would run the business and find the money. We have now lived very happily in this way for two years My husband riseß and builds the fire, gets breakfast, and I leave at 7.45 for my pl»'-e of business. He does the washing and irouingand the cleaning, and I do not know ot any woman who caD beat him. He is as neat as wax, and can cook equal to any one in town. It may be an isolated case, but I think the time has now come when women who have husband* to «up*x>rt should make them 6o the work : otherwise they are luxuries we must do without."- Boston Commonwealth.
