“…Unlike his father, he did possess a keen business sense and might, according to his friend Bela Hubbard, have ''left his family in affluence''-had he spent less time on ''public duties.'' 37 What of Harriet? One wonders what she may have thought about being a single wife with an absent husband.…”

The industrial and transportation revolutions of nineteenth-century America separated work from home (at least for the growing middle class) and intensified the development of masculine and feminine spheres devoted to success and domesticity, respectively. This development tended to reduce the husband's traditional patriarchal roles to that of provider only, while leaving the wife and mother with enhanced authority over household management and child rearing, a development with consequences for feminism. This article examines two extreme cases of separation of work from home: absent husbands, respected professional men, who left their wives alone for months or years and, while they provided financial support, surrendered all household authority to "single" wives.

Metabolic balance for lead and cadmium were carried out in 23 healthy elderly people aged 69.7 to 85.5 yr while living in their own homes and eating self-selected diets. Mean intakes of lead and cadmium were 54.6 and 8.6 micrograms/day, with mean retentions of -8.7 and -1.7 micrograms/day, respectively. Daily dietary lead correlated (p less than 0.05) with the intake of energy, nitrogen, calcium, iron, and zinc but not with manganese or copper. Dietary intake of cadmium correlated (p less than 0.05) only with that of zinc and manganese. There was a highly significant (p less than 0.001) inverse correlation between the percentage cadmium absorbed and body iron stores measured as serum iron, percentage iron saturation, and ferritin. Mean whole blood concentrations were 138 micrograms/l for lead and 0.79 microgram/l for cadmium. The negative balances observed in these elderly people were very different from the positive balances found in a previous similar study in children.
