The author of “Letters from a SelfMade Merchant to His Son” knows something about matrimony as well as business. When I speak of a fellow’s being boss in his own home, he says, I simply mean that, in a broad way he's going to shape the policy of the concern. When a man -goes sticking nis nose into the running t>f, the house he's apt to get it tweaked, and while he’s busy drawing *t back out of danger he's apt to get his leg pulled, too. You let your wife tend to the housekeeping and you focus on earning money with which she can keep house. Of course, in on© way, it's mighty nice of a man to help around the place but it’s been my experience that the fellow who tends to all the small jobs at home never get anything else to tend to at the office. In the end, it's usually cheaper to give all your attention to your busine?* and to hire a plumber.
