# "My Husband Says" & "The End of the Race" This page contains two separate pieces. "My Husband Says" is a humorous domestic column where a wife complains about her husband's peculiar tastes—he dislikes dim lighting, prefers realistic moral tales, and frequents an inn called The Sign of the Roaring Tigers. The humor derives from her exasperated cataloging of his odd preferences. "The End of the Race" appears to be a brief comedic dialogue about a woman who completed a four-year course in three years, with wordplay about hygiene and fashion. The accompanying illustration depicts a woman with children in what appears to be a tenement or modest home, with the caption suggesting domestic comedy about putting "muss" (mess) in Christmas.
