BEFORE AND AFTER TBEwHrDING
The Coming Bride is Promised Every
Thing Before Marriage.


From the Detroit Free Press.
suppose eight out of every ten wives go
through the same experience as to money
matters. When we had returned from our
bridal tour Mr.. Bowser said to me:
"While half of what l have belongs to
you l do not propose that you shall be
obliged to beg for your half Being the
head OF the house l shall carry the wallet
but propose to hand you over certain
sum every Saturday night. 1t will be pin
money"
How good Won are!n
II think it is only just and right l know
dozen married men whose wives have to
almost get down on their knees to get a
dollar. could kick such man. How much
do you think you can use a weeKm
"A-a~a-dollar, perhaps"
ga dollar My wife trying to get along
on dollar a week. Why, you little darling,
you shall have at least ten, and if that is
not sufficient I'll make it $50 or $50"
1t was the old story over again. He cut
me down to SS-$7-S So 5-S+$2-and
at length when we had been married about
| four months and / asled him for a dollar he
| turned on me with:
"What9 More mney! Do you think

"But you can'twant dollars worth-a
whole dollars worn. Here's 80 cents, and
I hope you will rmember that these are
| hard times and mGley is money"
One evening, WIN we had company, the
| talk fell upon tbs very subject, and Mr..
Bowser promptly 'bserved:
"a wife has jus as much right to the
family wallet as the husband, and there

"Well, il see about it.''
After had been in bed half an hour,
and he Tight / was asleep, he got up and
searchedbout for two long hours after
that moy. l had tucked it behind the
clock inc sitting room, and he found it at
last, anShen he got into bed heard him

; "Never. Never did! Never did any
thing which could possibly be construed to
mean any such thing! Never. under any
circumstances, Mrs. Bowser, do you dare to
lay finger on my walletT'
II never will-not even after you are
deadr'
See that you don't"
After that it was interesting to note the
care he took to dispose of that wallet at
night. Helwould slyly leave it downstairs
drop it into the umbrella jar In the hall
hide it in the spare bedroom or under our
own bed. Once he made a dreadful mis-
take, and | didn't feel bit sorry about it.
Not knowing that our bedroom window was
up from the bottom, he slipped his wallet
down beside the inside blinds. It went
down to the sill and rolled to the ground,
and some one picked it up the next morn
ing before we wene awake. l was yet
asleep when Mr. BoWser, having sneaked out
Of bed to look after his wallet, suddenly
