Mrs.
Will Crooks, of Poplar, speaking to a newspaper reporter (_Daily Chronicle_, 17 Feb., 1919), truly remarked: "At present the average married woman's working day is a flagrant contradiction of all trade-union ideals.

The poor thing is slaving all the time! What she needs--what she longs for--is just a little break or change now and again, an opportunity to get her mind off her work and its worries.

If her husband's hours are reduced to eight, well that gives her a chance, doesn't it?
The home and the children are, after all, as much his as hers.

With his enlarged leisure he will now be able to take a fair share in home duties.

I suggest that they take it turn and turn about--one night he goes out and she looks after the house and the children; the next night she goes out and he takes charge of things at home.
