Soldier's Wife Needn't Envy His New Life

Times Special Writer HE ISN'T as young as he used to

| be. But he is going into. the army anyhow. In the first world war his country needed him to carry a gun.’

In this one it needs his special skill. " Bver since the last war he and his wife have lived in the same small town, spending i their evenings i with the same few : couples — growing i a little fat, a little settled and middle aged. His wife’ is already a bit envious of his late chance at adventure and a new life. She'll probably be even more so after he has been in the army long enough to lose his middle aged waist line and make a lot of new, and many of them younger, friends. She needn’t be jealous, though. If she wants to she can use the months or years that he is gone in such a way that she also will have some new experiences. Instead of staying on in the same town, trying to stay busy keeping house and cooking for herself, she could rent the house furnished and go to a city and get a job.

Even women without business ex perience are getting jobs now—if they are intelligent, capable, and willing to learn. Of course, it will be lonely for her at first—and she may tempted to give up and go back where everybody knows her and is interested in what is happening to her husband. But will it be good for her to have to make new friends, to have to learn & new job, to have to perk up enough to get by in’ the business world. If she sticks it out, she’ll be leading a life as different from the old routine as is her husband's. And she’ll get a great deal of satisfaction from finding ‘out late in life that she can do something besides housekeeping, : Of course, all that may seem like too much trouble to her. If so, she hasn't any right to envy her husband his last chance at adventure.
