Dec. 14, 1919: Dorothy Dix writes,

Have you ever noticed this strange domestic phenomenon – that  all the good women seem to get the mean husbands and all the mean women appear to get the good husbands?

Virtue apparently seldom runs 50-50 in the family circle. Ninety times out of 100 when you find a devoted, unselfish wife who spends her life slaving for her husband and wearing herself out in pinching in economies in order to save and help him along, you will find that the husband is a selfish brute who tyrannizes over her and who shows her neither gratitude nor appreciation.
