ARE WOMEN PEOPLE?


Partners

("Our laws have not yet reached the point of holding that property which is the result of the husband's earnings and the wife's savings becomes their joint property.… In this most important of all partnerships there is no partnership property."—Recent decision of the New York Supreme Court.)

Lady, lovely lady, come and share
All my care;
Oh how gladly I will hurry
To confide my every worry
(And they're very dark and drear)
In your ear.

Lady, share the praise I obtain
Now and again;
Though I'm shy, it doesn't matter,
I will tell you how they flatter:
Every compliment I'll share
Fair and square.

Lady, I my toil will divide
At your side;
I outside the home, you within;
