A Dear Sally: Borough Youngsters Are Volunteers For Annual United Nations Tag Day No, I don‘t think you are wrong in wanting an allowance. All wives should have a personal allowance. But even if you do succeed in getâ€" ting an allowance. you will be one in a smail minority of wives who teceive an allowance. ~ The great majority of married women, even although most of them handle all the money, seldom have a fixed sum to call their own. But let‘s be fair. In the lower and middle income groups (and that includes most), the husbands seldom have an allowance for their own use. either. Most wives simply take it for granted that the houseâ€" keeping money has to cover their housekeeping expenses, too. A wise woman usually finds ways and means of getting what she wants. so do not make too much of an argument about the allowance. Sally Scott.

In a few years my husband will retive and we are worried lest the children will resent having to help us then. What can we do about this? f Worried Parents. Dear Worried Parents: _ CA All unconsciously it would deem that you have been building up this condition ‘for more than twenty years. Having acted all that time as if you expected nothing from your children. you are now dismayâ€" ed that they are giving you exactly nothing. You are parents who have acted out of a sense of kindr®fs. You have been martyrs to such a degree that the children have never had the opportunity to gain any sense of responsibility for you and your affairs. No far as they are conâ€" cerned. home is the place where everything always will be free. 1t is high time that you relieved them of this idea. It is past time to be beating about the bush. Your children are adults, and should take an adult‘s responsibility in assuming part of the burden of maintaining the household. Straighten out today‘s problem and tomorrow‘s may never arise.
