her husband in his. It has been said that when women 

 have the opportunity of helping make the laws that 

 these things will be righted, and I think that is true;

 best material for feed and all these other thing's, don't 

 forget the patient woman at your side, who will say 

 very little whether you treat her ill or well, but will 

 bear it all, and yet whose life you can brighten a 

 great deal in many ways. What we ask is to be by 

 your side with equal opportunities and advantages, and 

 to feel when we have worked hard through life that we 

 have the same chance in material things that our hus- 

 band had.
