This question of an allowance is i pretty serious one, and the disposition of the woman in the case enters large ly into its consideration. Some womel never get beyond childhood mentally and prefer to be treated like children __ -ALi... Who must gravel. on their knees 10" I‘ll. 6:? ion some uncomm- BUTTER’ all their lives. They know nothing ‘ about their husbands’ incomes and can a less if they keep them liberally sup . plied with the luxuries their childish I natures demand. With such womer ‘ there is only one course practicable . and that is the ancient and time hon ored one which is based on the theory ings and are to be considered property ‘ of a higher sort, to be fed and clothed ‘ and perhaps regarded with a degree Ol ! affection. but not to be treated as wen i tal equals or to be given any active l part in domestic administration except . as upper servants. The great trouble . is that there are so many wives who i are treated in this manner who do not ' _ deserve to be. The human dolls are, in 3 r fact. a mighty small minority of woâ€"i i mankind. The supposed limitations 0! 7 l the sex have been fixed in the mascu- line mind by the customs and preju- dices of centuries. and it is pretty hard to change its attitude. but the change is being made and made more rapidly in this country than in any other.

The woman’s labors and re-' sponsibilities should be within the home; the man’s. for the greater part. outside of it. Success in her realm is of as much, if not more, importance to both than success in his. A business failure is a small aflair when com- pared with a domestic failure. The me is a mere matter of money; the other affects body, mind and soul. The wife should be supreme within her sphere. but with that supremacy she should accept the responsibilities that belong to it and be held accountable for results. On the other hand. she ; should not interfere in his province. but each should ask for and receive the advice and help and encouragement of the other. But you ask how can this theory be put into practical application. By ap- plying ordinary business principlesâ€"- principles which, I regrot to say, are very seldom applied to domestic affairs in the right way. The trouble is that the average business man runs his home as he would his store. consider- ing his wife as a simple item of ex- penseâ€"an expense which he pays in ”With: proper modification the very same system may be applied to the do- mestic partnership, the husband hold- ing the position of senior, the‘wife that of junior partner. The husband’s de- partment is his business; the wife’s is the home. The one produces revenue; the other does not. analogous to the ' selling and accounting departments ot § the commercial concern. But the home, I like the accounting division, is an es- i sential factor and. like it again, may 1 be the means of saving or losing . money as it is properly or improperly i conducted.

You remember the story about the white man' and the Indian who went turkey hunting and divided , the game in accordance with the white ' man‘s proposition.

She‘ll come to you for advice when she needs it. She’ll come to you for more money when she needs it. but if the amount is rightly fixed sue will seldom have to do that. She will take a pride in keeping within her limit and more than likely will save more money than you will. In the matter of small economies a woman can beat a man every time. but she must have a per- sonal interest, in the saying. must feel that it is hers without restriction.

Don’t Enslave Yourself. 1 never believed in the plan of giving 1 all one’s salary to one’s Wife any more than I believe it right for the husband to keep all of it himself. In the first place, it throws upon her a burden that pr0perly belongs to him, in part at least. and, in the second place. it makes it necessary for him to ask her for what he needs, and too often he may be required to explain his needs in de- tail before he gets it. Some men are so weak that they need restraint of this kind, and for such this method is com- mendable, but for a man with average backbone it’s humiliating to have to ask his wife for money even if he has voluntarily placed himself in durance. It reverses the position of mendicancy and is harder on a man than a woman, because in her case it has the sanction of the ages. I believe in woman’s in- dependence, but I don’t believe in re- versing the traditional relations of the sexes. It is possible to give your Wife DVRVUQ -v w r- freedom without enslaving yourself, and a certain amount of starch in your spinal column is just as important un- der the conditions I have suggested as in any other situation. domestic or oth- erwise.
