SHOULD SHE MARRY?
The Woman—
Who buys for the mere pleasure of buying;
Who expects a declaration of love three times a day;
Who anticipates in married life a good easy snap;
Who thinks it cheaper to buy bread than bake it;
Who would rather die than wear the same bonnet the second season;
Who wants to refurnish her house every spring;
Who stays at home only because she has no other place to visit;
Who would rather nurse a pug dog than a baby;
Who thinks she can get $5,000 worth of style out of a $1,000 salary;
Who does not realize how many pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and halves there are in $1;
Who marries in order to have some one pay her bills;
Who thinks embroidered centre-pieces and doylies are of more importance than sheets, pillow-cases, and blankets;
Who buys bric-à-brac for her drawing-room and borrows kitchen utensils from her neighbors;
Who cares more for the style of her winter furs than she does for the health and comfort of her family;
Who thinks the cook and nursemaid can run the house;
Who weeps over the woes of the heroine in a trashy novel while ignoring domestic tragedies directly under her own nose.
