This Week’s Cover

In a man’s camp, woman’s work is never done. Here Mead Schaeffer depicts a washerwoman, a seamstress and a short-order cook who will go fishing if they have time. Well, if they don’t like this setup, why don’t they go home? Actually, they are not in distress; scratch the surface of any man and you will find a secret fondness for doing some kind of female drudgery.
We once knew of a lumber-camp foreman who did fancy needlework and won second prize at the county fair. Of course if men had to do housework, they would not like to do it.
