The husband prefers to hoard his money, and thinks his wife should work by the day to aid him in accumulating a fortune. Such a woman is victim to money mania. He could easily become a miser if allowed to go on in this line of thought. His fortune would never do him or others any good while he lived. No woman should encourage such a spirit in a husband.
Money is only good for the comfort and happi- ness it brings.
It is the duty of a wife to be prudent and wise in the use of her husband's earnings, but it is her right to be provided with a home. The man who earns twenty-five dollars a week can afford to give a wife a better abiding place than one room. In her chosen sphere, if she possesses any skill or management, she can provide her husband and her- self with comfort, and lay aside a little sum every month for future needs. This is a better use of life and money than to live in discomfort and discontent, and to accumulate a hoarded store of dollars. He can acquire, but he can rarely enjoy what he acquires.
