2316<\/b> What Average Housewife Does<\/b><\/p>\n
It was brought out at a recent Northwestern University psychology class that during an average housewife\u2019s lifetime she performs these tasks: Cooks 35,000 meals, makes from 10,000 to 40,000 beds, vacuums a rug a mile long and a tenth of a mile wide and cleans 7,000 plumbing fixtures. <\/p>\n

2317<\/b> Paying Wife $3.40 Per Hour<\/b><\/p>\n
At the annual meeting of the Vanier Institute of the Family held in Winnipeg, proposals were outlined which would provide the homemaker with a salary. Dr. David Ross of the Canadian Council on Social Development said during a panel discussion that a \u201cdad-to-mom\u201d type of transfer is feasible if taxpayers are willing to forgo personnel exemptions. Dr. Ross proposed paying housewives one of three salaries: $100 a month, $1.90 an hour, or $3.40 an hour. <\/p>\n
The $100-a-month salary\u2014which would cost the federal government $2.6 billion in lost taxes\u2014would be financed without a tax increase if all personal exemptions were eliminated, Dr. Ross said. <\/p>\n

2318<\/b> Who Is Worth More? <\/b><\/p>\n
Economists from the Chase Manhattan Bank have attempted to settle the argument about who is worth more around the house, the husband or the wife. <\/p>\n
The economists estimate that the typical American housewife spends 99.6 hours each week in work around the house. Labor value is based on the going rate for services performed. <\/p>\n
The bank concludes that a wife is worth $159.34 per week or $8,285.68 a year. This is what it would cost the husband to hire special workers to perform the services to the home. <\/p>\n
The American husband\u2019s wages in house work, if paid, would total only $51.01 per week, less than one-third the wages of his wife. This is for such duties as garbage man, lawn mower, night watchman, accountant, fashion consultant, youth counselor, etc. <\/p>\n
2319<\/b> Wives Outlive Husbands<\/b><\/p>\n
In most families the wife outlives her husband. Widows today outnumber widowers almost four-to-one in this country. The chances are almost three-in-five that the wife will survive her husband when both are the same age. <\/p>\n
When the husband is five years older, the chances are seven- in-ten that this wife will outlive him; and when he is ten years older, the chances rise to eight-in-ten. Only when the husband is around four years younger than his wife are the chances of survival about the same for both. <\/p>\n
THE HUSBAND<\/p>\n
2320<\/b> He Tried To Create Perfect Wife<\/b><\/p>\n
This information comes, as you might expect, from a divorce court. The would-be creator of the ideal mate was a psychologist and psychoanalyst. He was fifty-two, thirty years older than the wife whom he sought to endow with all perfections for matrimony. <\/p>\n
In a Los Angeles court it was told how the psychologist, Doctor Negri, molded the young woman\u2019s mind and guided her thoughts, to make her the perfect wife. Then he married her\u2014and once the wedding ring got on the finger the psychoanalysis didn\u2019t seem to work so well. The scientific doctor stated that the perfect wife refused to wash the dishes. She would not sweep the house. Often the doctor had to take care of the baby. The wife charged that the psychoanalyzing doctor was not so perfect as a husband. She declared that although he made ten thousand dollars a year, he gave her only twenty-five cents a day for spending money. <\/p>\n
That was what happened to the marriage of the psychoanalyzing psychologist and the perfect wife that he created. The doctor explained the reason. He said that when he started out on the miracle he made just one mistake\u2014he forgot to psychoanalyze himself. <\/p>\n

2321<\/b> Forgot He Was Married<\/b><\/p>\n
Recently I read about a young husband who forgot he was married. According to the newspaper account, his bride became very upset and burned their dinner the night after their honeymoon. Her first flop was understandable, however, because her mate was three hours late in getting home from the office. He had absent-mindedly failed to recall that he was married and had gone to his mother\u2019s suburban house instead. <\/p>\n

George Schermann of Jamaica, Long Island, had a commendable love for the loftier branches of learning. But he got married to a seventeen-year-old bride. Schermann demanded of his wife that she study thoroughly Plato, Aristotle and Socrates, making her stop reading magazines and current literature. And as for the funnies, absolutely no! Nothing but Aristotle, Plato and Socrates. <\/p>\n
When she found these philosophers \u201cuninteresting and difficult,\u201d he got mad. The wife sued for divorce to break the bonds of matrimony with her husband\u2014and with Plato, Aristotle and Socrates. <\/p>\n
2323<\/b> Never Again At Age 71<\/b><\/p>\n
A man appealed to the Detroit police to help him find his wife. His wife had left him. But why? The reason came out in his promise to the wife which he asked police to relay. \u201cTell her I won\u2019t do it again,\u201d he promised. \u201cI\u2019ll admit I was making eyes at the lady next door. But I promise I won\u2019t do it again. I won\u2019t even glance at that lady next door.\u201d<\/p>\n

2326<\/b> Husband Up The Tree<\/b><\/p>\n
An angry woman wrote to a columnist complaining that her husband was living in a treehouse. The husband had built the treehouse and moved into it to get away from his wife\u2019s nagging. The wife complained that the treehouse was out from where passers-by could see her husband, and that it had become an embarrassment to her. While she sat behind closed doors, her husband would swing in a hammock on his porch, gaily chatting with curiosity seekers. <\/p>\n
The columnist advised the wife to quit nagging or continue to put up with her husband\u2019s antics. <\/p>\n

As the express came closer with its brakes screeching, Mary realized it couldn\u2019t stop in time. \u201cLeave me, Bill! Leave me!\u201d she cried. Seeing his efforts were useless, he arose quickly and held her in his arms to protect her as much as possible. While bystanders shuddered in horror, the train thundered over them. It was reported that just before the engine hit them, they heard the brave man cry, \u201cI\u2019ll stay with you, Mary!\u201d<\/p>\n

During the Crusades, a knight was taken captive by the Moslem Saladin. The knight begged for his life, claiming that he had a wife in England who loved him dearly. Saladin commented that she would soon forget him and marry another. On second thought, the cruel chieftain offered to set the man free if the lady in question would send her right hand as token of her love for this captive. <\/p>\n
When word was sent to this lady in England, she immediately cut off her right hand and sent it to Saladin. The man was forthwith returned to England. <\/p>\n
There is a statue of this faithful woman in one of the old cathedrals of England. She is attractive, but the statue shows her without the right hand. <\/p>\n

In Burma, the temple of Amarapura, was built in imitation of a woman whose face was pitted by smallpox. This most touching memorial of affection was constructed by King Bodawpaya in 1783 as a means of aiding in the recovery of a royal concubine stricken with the dread disease. At the King\u2019s behest, holes were drilled in the surface of the pagoda and a statue of Buddha was placed in each opening. It was the King\u2019s way of proclaiming publicly that the favorite\u2019s disfigurement had in no way diminished the deep and abiding affection he bore her. <\/p>\n

The evening, my wife greeted me with a big welcome-home kiss and coyly asked if I wasn\u2019t ashamed of the immodest sentiment on the card. \u201cWhat will the florist think?\u201d she asked. Puzzled, I checked the card. It read: \u201cOur nights are better than Beethoven\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a result of their difference, the lady walks haughtily out of the beautiful drawing room with head thrown back, and eyes, no doubt, if we could see them, blazing; while he stands moodily on the rug with his back to the fire, his hands in his pockets, his head held forward with a certain dogged obstinacy which does not bode well for their future happiness.

The couple had beautiful dreams of going down life\u2019s pathway and growing old together. In the atmosphere of this joyous anticipation the song was born. The song became universally popular. Mr. Danks dedicated it to his wife. <\/p>\n
But the bitter irony of the matter is the fact that marital discord came into the Dank\u2019s household. Separation followed! Mr. Danks died in 1903. He was found dead, kneeling beside his bed.
