With homes broken up and the breadwinner gone, these untrained women took up sewing as the only thing they could do, and so overstocked the labor market that a new "Song of the Shirt" rose from attic to basement in the poorer districts of all the larger cities.
Whole industries are created to take advantage of his lack of shrewdness, and every effort of his to get on, to get out of the old groove, is resisted by such agencies. Surely, if any one stands in need of a friend, who will patiently strive to see the world through his eyes, and yet will have the courage to tell him the plain truth, it is the breadwinner.
Fox bought prizes for Connie's gay little card-parties with the rent money, and retired with a headache immediately after tearfully informing the harassed breadwinner of the fact.
I am only the breadwinner, why should I be coddled why, why, why!" "George," Mrs. Darling entreated him, "not so loud; the servants will hear you." Somehow they had got into the way of calling Liza the servants. "Let them!" he answered recklessly. "Bring in the whole world. But I refuse to allow that dog to lord it in my nursery for an hour longer."
The "divi" received by the workers will be less, and the purchases which the thrifty housewife of the north usually makes with it in the way of clothing and replacement of household articles will be less also; where the "divi" has been left in the society, it will in a large number of cases be used to supplement the scanty wages earned on short time, or to provide the necessaries of life where the breadwinner is altogether unemployed.
But for me, at any rate, there can be no compromise.

That's what it amounts to. And I doubt if any of us relish the position when it comes to the point.
Speaking of loaf, I'm hungry." "Supper's doing itself on the stove," Phil said. "Look lively with the table, Kirk." Kirk did so, his efficiency as a table-setter had long since been proved, and Ken, as the weary breadwinner, stretched out in a chair. "Did you happen to remember," said Felicia, coming to the door, spoon in hand, "that the Kirk has a birthday this week?" "It has?" exclaimed Ken.
Her eleven hundred francs scarcely did more than pay the rent. During those early days, Mme. Poulain, good, stout, little old woman, was the breadwinner, and the poor household lived upon her earnings. After twelve years of perseverance upon a rough and stony road, Dr. Poulain at last was making an income of three thousand francs, and Mme.
He was one of the worst patients imaginable. But, in spite of all, and putting aside the fact that he was breadwinner, she never quite wanted him to die. Still there was one part of her wanted him for herself. The neighbours were very good to her: occasionally some had the children in to meals, occasionally some would do the downstairs work for her, one would mind the baby for a day.
Homicide through imprudence, that would be all! They would even pity me, rather than accuse me. 'My wife! My poor wife! I should say, sobbing. 'My wife, who is so necessary to me, who is half the breadwinner, who takes part in my performance! You must acknowledge that I should be pitied!" "Certainly; there is not the least doubt about that."
