WIVES AND THE MO-
NEY QUESTION.

A clever southern woman whom |
I know, in writing on the subject
of wives allowances, said: mo
man can possibly understand how
q sensitive, woman shrinks from
asking for money. The normal
condition is for the wife to be as
hard worked at home as her hus-
band is in his Office, and IN this
case it is fair to regard it as an
equal partnership in which both
partners have a right to share the
profits, and there is no giving
about it. If she keeps house, she
is at least entitled to what you
would pay a housekeeper; if she
does the duty of governess, let
her have the compensation of one;
If she does the duty of cook, she
cams q cooks wages. DO not re-
gard all these economies simply
as something to be saved to the
husbands pocket The saving has
no place in his pocket; it belongs
to that of his wife. You do not
expect any one else to keep house
or teach for her board or lodging.
Then Why ask the wife to do it2
IF a penny saved be as good as
a penny earned, her saving should
count as earning. l am satisfied
that if there could come sudden
revelation of all hearts, we should
be astounded at the amount OF
soreness, chatting and secret un-
happiness which exists beneath
multitude of roofs in the hearts Of
seemingly happy wives, and which
could be instantly removed BY the
certainty of even q small income
which they could call their own
Either wife should be in the do
mestic establishment recognized
partner. with all the rights of
partner, or she should be a sala
ried officer, with the rights which
that implies. In no case shoult
she be a mendicsnt A just part

and q recognition of equal fnsn
cial rights would do away will
