WIVES AND WORK

In answer to Sailor's Wife, space I provided in this column is to f limited to give in detail how I com- f bine successfully eight hours' essen- I tial sewing (production card will 1 prove this) with the running of a | home (five rooms). Routine plays a big part, also my children have beers V brought up differently from most § kiddies, and I find them no bother at all. Measles is the only sickness 1 that they have had, and their ages | are eight, five and two years. I I don't think anyone could say my L children are neglected. Within the f last week, two doctors stated that if || more people brought up their child-1; ren as I am bringing up my baby, I there would be a lot less sickness I in this \<roiid. I find seven or even six hours' sleep is quite sufficient for | : my health. I get up at 6 a.m. and by 8.30 a.m. have finished my housework. The gardening is done in f, the cool of the evening, and most week-ends you will find us at the; beach. I cannot put on paper satis-; factorily how I manage, but if |j sailor's wife would care to come here and see for herself how it is done, SOLDIER'S WIFE, 18, Hawera Rd., Kohimarama, E.l.
