CHILDREN'S NEEDS In addition to your woman's work--as wife, mother, ambitious homemaker and tireless hostess-- you've been a substantial wage, earner.

And also, perhaps. to avoid the tedium of round-the-clock child- care when the youngsters were pre-school-age. Not you are stuck with the performance.
