For Wives

For Wives.

I will sew buttons on my husband's shirts—unless he sews them on first in desperation.

I will believe him when he says he was detained at the office—but I can still think what I like.

I will never say that “I haven't a stitch to wear,” unless it is true—and it's always true.

I will not cry for a new hat—unless there is no other way of getting it.

I will never play bridge and forget to get my husband's dinner—except when I play bridge and forget to get my husband's dinner.

I will be a dutiful wife—whenever it pays.
