Pampered husbands
beware!
T is a fair guess that nothing will make an English wife so angry as to be told that she resembles in any particu- lar that long-caricatured and long-suffering figure, the Ameri-
can husband.
Similarly, English-husbands might
be peeved to hear they are like those notorious American women. Yet the two sets each have one im- portant thing to common, out of which arise many smaller details of resemblance: there ore too many women for the men in England, and there are too many mun for the women in the States.
Englishwomen and American men know their place. The spectre of matrimonial unemployment haunts potential wives in England and potential husbands in the
States, and keeps them in subjection.
