I admit. is a highly interesting subject. but it doesn't count for much alongside the problem of placing the dollars. Whether it‘s ten :1 week or a hundred a week it takes stretching to carry it over seven days and leave a margin to button up on Monday. Maybe you‘ve heard the politicians and other financial experts talking about “elastic currency.” Bill has, I'm sure. Well. they don‘t mean exactly the same thing as I do by it. but it‘s mighty es- sential that the cashier puts elastic currency into the yellow envelope, and it’s a lot more essential that you know how to stretch all the little kinks and curlycues out of it. That’s the kind of a pull every man ought to have, and if his wife catches hold with both hands and pulls as hard or harder than he does they can draw it out to the middle of next week without getting cramps in their muscles. It’s wonder- t‘ul what a woman can do in that way when she wants to. and it's also sur- prising what a weak back the average man gets when he tries the job by him- our “mittens.” And our “mittens”â€" that is, yours and Bill’sâ€"is in the little yellow envelope that the cashier hands out through the grated window every Saturday.

That is to say, let him divide his salary with his wife. each assume responsibility for half of the fixed expenses of the household. and each have the right to spend or save his or her share of the remainder without question‘ from the other. That gives the wife a definite standing in the economy of the household; it makes her financially independent, and at the same time places an obligation upon lit-r which she is not likely to ignore.

Such a woman, little girl, doesn’t measure up to the standard of a wife. She has sacrificed her oppor- tunity and traded future happiness for present gratification. I want my daughter to be her husband’s partner. to share and share alike in the burdens as well as the joys of life. That’s the kind of a wife your mother is, God bless her! And that‘s the kind of a wife that makes marriage a success unless the man in the case is a dod- rotted idiot. Wife as Financial Manager. The average woman is a better man- ager in small things than the average man. In the financial affairs of the household she can make a dollar go twice as far as he can if she wants to do it and puts her mind on it. She is better at driving a bargain, has a clear- er understanding of values and a great- er respect for the penny as a unit of measurement. When a man gets this fact into his head. when he learns that she not only desizes to help him, but is to be trusted with the purse strings, he is pretty likely to make use of her talents and let her share in the ex- penditure of the salary. Many a man is so impressed m with the finan-l ciai ability of his wife and his own lack of it that he tu rns over all of his earnings to her and is a greater. gainer by the transaction. But such a shifting of responsibility is in itself a con- be that he carries the load willingly, even joyfully. It may be that in the first overwhelming unselfishness of his love he would not have her any differ- ent. But he will find that the load grows heavier with time, and thenthe The woman who takes no thought of her husband's financial affairs. who spends his money without knowing or caring what he can afford, is not a helpmate. but an incumbrance. It may a rolling pin or a flatiron, but by show- ing him that you have a deep personal interest in his afl’alrs, that you are no doll baby to be dressed and potted, but a sensible woman whose chief thought is her husband’s welfare, a woman who knows that a dollar is composed of 100 cents and who knows how or is willing to learn how to make every one of them worth par in the domestic economy. that way. my dear.

And it’s up to you to do the impressing-not with' l mu men are careless f I l see. “Useless each without the other.” That's it exactly.

You don’t often get so much practical com- mon sense out of poetry. “Useless each without the other." La me, Bill can‘t do all the home building by him- self.

It is true p’erhaps that he wrote for a limit- ed class.” \ , And so on for ten minutes.- “No,” said the man at the desk. turning again to his work, “you haven’t succeeded in interesting me a bit.” “That’s all right.” rejoined tb tall man in the suit of faded black. re- placing the sample volume in his vanes with 1m perturbable composure. “I have just started out canvassing with Merely Practicing. “I vvfonder said the tall man' in the suit of faded black, “if I could interest you in a new and cheap edition of the works of inthony Trollope.” Now, my little girl, this is a mighty prosy subject. Maybe it’s distasteful. but you want to remember that Bill’s downtown in his shirt sleeves working, working for you and it’s a doggonefl mosy business, too, taking it by‘itself. But his love fills it with poetry. and so your love for him can weave hexame- tiers. or whatever they call them, about the dollars and cents, the toil and the trouble and the tears of household economy.
