A “HOUSEBAND"

;t ■ g WIFE TURNS BIIEAD-MINNER, y Surelv if Exore Plausse and his wife were willing there was no reason why Judge Kiiig..ol JI setts, should dissent, so the District n Court told Exore to go back il01,1 «> wash the dishes and get the little ones if ready for school, and he would see s him again in the court-room a month ll later. , . , ci In the language of the Court, 1 lau-.c • had his non-support case continued to L- that date, and the charge probabl, 1 mil he dismissed if Judge King finds >. the noval agreement works out to the r satisfaction of all. c .Meanwhile Plausse will do most n the housework and hjs wife vih become the breadwinner for the family ol six. For the first day he toiled ■ all day long, but his wife gave him a night out. and he was not at home. ’ Washing dishes, cooking meals 10l six, scrubbing floors, making beds and . fhe’ thousand and one things that come to every housewife in the course of a daw are not strange to Plausse, for he has always been helpful to his wjfe, and he rather likes it- ”| have to get up a little earlier than usual,’’ he said, “but 1 ill'll t mind that. You see, the kiddies go to school ami they must have ihen ' breakfast on time, and they must bo * washed and dressed, and it is no small job to d" all this, especially as 1 nave ' onlv one pair of hands, but I got awa\ with it, and did the washing, too, and ' 1 guess I can continue to do it. Of 1 course, 1 have my eyes open lor a real job, and if .1 land perhaps the wife and I can make some better arrangements, for she cannot earn enough as a housekeeper to keep us - all going the way we should.” Mrs. Plausse seems quite pleased i with the new order of things, and it is - quite apparent, as she notes how clean i the rooms. are and how things are so ■ well kept in order that she is prou 1 :of he<- husband. She refuses to discuss the matter of the Court case, but - her friends say she was sorry she had i her huband in Court for non-support.
