You... and Your Husband... and the Big Salary!

This problem was never dealt with before our age!... Because it is new!... It is the invention of this age...

And when the man of this age sees that he is powerless, that he has no way of persuading his wife... he lets her work. She works as he does; she has his competence, or more: — and when she earns a salary several times his own, or wins great fame, people begin to whisper, and sometimes they are cruel in their

And this is exactly what happened to the English dancer "Elizabeth Seal" and her husband Peter Townsend — who is, of course, not the "Townsend" beloved of Princess Margaret.

And Elizabeth gave the lie to people's whispering and said they were mistaken: the artiste whose name the lights pick out above the stage need not carry that name into the home of her marriage —: and life is made all the easier by the two spouses working in one field. The young couple affirm that their shared working life is a pleasure beyond compare... They move on a single plane of understanding and cooperation, and money and the big salary are only a complementary part of their shared happiness... For if one strips away the material view, one sees that one possesses something dearer and more precious than money: one possesses an ideal companion...
